"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.

Jus wonderin where you all work.

I suppose it is best to work somewhere with a lot of people to help improve your social skills.

Anyway, feel free to leave your answers and also the benefits of workin there.

I am in between jobs at the mo. I used to work on till in a shop. It was good socially. The one thing i remeber is droppin loadsa change in the presence of a fit bird / hot lass.
:D
ah well
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

i work at hollister. it's great for a person like me. everyday i feel like i'm taking steps in leaps and bounds. i'm no longer intimidated by extremely hot women, given i'm around them all the time. this job is helping me a lot, and is one of the reasons i decided to work here, b/c it would help me become more social.
 

"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.

I work at Bruno's. There are many people that come in that I talk to. This helps me on my goal to becoming not shy.

I had intended to be a stockbroker, got a degree in corporate finance and a securities trading course, but got sidetracked...

Through some warped notion I ended up as a Naval Officer instead...strangly similar skill-set between trading stocks/bonds and driving a warship...

Being an Officer does allow for some benefits, I work closely in all operational aspects of the ship so I have fun at sea with plenty of stories to tell. In foriegn ports I am required to attend and host receptions for local dignitaries/civil service employees...while this does occasionally mean listening to some MP's/Mayor's amazingly boring stories they do seem to invite a lot of local government employees(meaning they invite all the secretaries, nurses, ect) who typically stay long after the old government guys go home. Hey....I'm simply following orders to entertain the guests!

Lt(N) 'Hamno'

edit: Afterwards I did realize that this was the high-school forum and not the general discussion...Meh, possible career options for anyone here?

Ok dizzee.

I worked at a local pizza chain that hired predominently 16-18 year olds, so I met a lot of people my age and it really helped my social skills when I was trying to get started DJing.
 

"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.

This means that when a HB9 walked in and i served her, i dropped lots of change on the floor (change being coins)

Im sorry i am from Yorkshire and thats how we talk. So its actually better english than yours if you are from USA. Its also got slang in it.
