"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I currently have the Motorola v60i Tracfone. I've decided I am going to keep this one til I'm out of high school in the spring and then get a new one. What right now is the best prepaid phone and are there going to be any nice ones coming out soon. Thanks.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Buying minutes gets really expensive with those types of phones/plans.

Companies like Metro PCS here in the SF Bay Area offer unlimited calling time for something like 35-40 per month.

I don't see any reason why you don't just get a 1 year contract. I've had one plan or another since I was 17 years old... for the past 4 years. 40-50 bucks a month really isn't that much when you put it in perspective... that's, what, 6 meals at McDonalds?

Holy crap you must be fat. I spend $4 max whenever I go to McDonalds.

I always look at money in terms of pizzas. $200 isn't $200, it's about 20 pizzas.

Anyway, the prepaid services suck in general. I'd get away from that ASAP.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have the same phone you have man. I love it honestly.

I have to say though, it depends on how often you use it. If you use it a lot, cards are gonna add up quickly. If you are like me and don't use it for more than "where you at?" then it should be great.

As far as the service goes...I get service basically everywhere I go.
