You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Dude. Go fvck yourself. Why dont you say that to a veterans face? I'm against everything our military does, too, but you better have some Goddamn respect for people who put their lives on the line for your sorry ass. People like him are the reason you're even allowed to voice your opinion like that.Visual Darkness said:
I've always wondered how guys keep a straight face with the drill seargant screaming like a lunatic. I think it'd be hilarious.HandyAndy said:Good for you man, good luck, stay safe!
Ive always wanted to join the airforce but my out-of-shape ass would die in bootcamp lol, plus I dont think I would be able to hold back a smile with the drill sergeant screaming in my face
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
