"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.

Hey guys...

Just want to share something with you...yesterday my g/f and I were walking around the mall, when a guy walks past us decked out with all those spike necklaces, bracelets, dressed in all black, mohawk, and these ear-rings that make your whole earlobe HUGE. This kid had a hole in his ear about the size of a quarter! I've never seen such a thing.

Girlfriend says: "Wow, he's hott! Maybe I should go out with him!"
Me: "Go for it" (with a smirk)

She couldn't believe what I said. It got such a rise out of her, called me a few names...but it all worked out! In my opinion that is the only CORRECT thing to do. If you were to say, "oh no sweetie, don't go out with him. I'm much better, etc.." You'd fail her test and she'd know you were an AFC who had no back bone. What I guess it comes down to is that famous saying:

"Don't be afraid to walk"
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Obviously she wasn't serious but still nice work.
