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.
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.
the answer is, when ever the hell you want, aslong as you do nto call same day, the wait 3 days is really not neccisery, waiting to long is bad, next day is fineOriginally posted by bobbob
saturday and make a date for sunday, or sunday and make a date for tuesday
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.
Maybe you're waiting too long to ask them out or asking them out for dates on days which they already have plans.Originally posted by bobbob
Nevermind, the answer was in the dj bible ... sunday it is!
wish me luck, last 30+ numbers have resulted in no date whatsoever
so it seems like the only diffrence between us 'highschool kids' and you is that we can think for ourselves, you think you are so clever because you know you have to wait 3 days, you know it because you saw it on the dj bible!! you never thought maybe some of the stuff is not completly correct there, you take it word for word with out thinking on your own.Originally posted by DJ_Dork
You're getting answers from teens. In high school, it's all okay and stuff because people don't have much of a life.
If I got a number on thursday, I'd call Sunday and setup a date for Tues/Wed.
I never call on Fri/Sat with someone unless the persons I am calling that same day I am planning to hang out with or an emergency/thanks for the sex call.
