"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.

Hi all,

I met this girl at a club on Friday...

I gave it the ****y and funny approach and she loved it. I was a little drunk but I do remember making some jokes about what she was wearing and the town she was from and she kept playfully hitting me because of the jokes..

We had a kiss and I took her number and she was like you won't call. I said yeah, yeah, I will... stay by the phone!

How long should I hold out before calling?

I was thinking about firing her a funny text or something on Monday/Tuesday then perhaps following up with a call and seeing if she is up meeting up.

Sound about the right time to hold out?
 

"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.

Shouldn't you first get an idea of what you want to do with her the next time you see each other? Who knows, you may plan something that you could do tomorrow or the day after.

I just think it will cut down on wasted time when you do decide to call her. Hopefully she'll still remember you.

You don't have to strictly follow the rules, when the time feels right, at LEAST 2 days, then u shoudl call, and make sure u have a plan in mind. You call up this time to plan the date- should be max of 5 minute conversation. Plan the date, and then make ur moves there, get em son :woo:
