"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'm looking for a good $20-$30 bottle of wine. I truthfully have no experience with wine whatsoever. I'm pretty much open to anything except Yellow Tail. I tried it once based on my friends recommendations, only to take 2 sips and sell the rest of the bottle to a friend. Any recommendations?

Nice move,

I always take a bottle of wine over a girls place, anything from Australia is good (Particuarly the Barossa) just go for something sweet, either a sav blanc or a ros'e should do the trick. Don't go with any of that french ****, it's overated and over priced. And yeah, don't go with yellow tail, that **** is the worst Aussie wine on the market.

Cheers!

A romantic evening with the woman is what the wine is needed for. We're going out on the town in the city and I figured upon the return to the hotel room with some nice wine would be excellent.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

bah, wine is for losers

just go with gin
This is precisely what an uneducated pallete would say. If it's just going to be you and her enjoying conversation I would suggest a good pinot gris/pinot grigio. It's easy on the throat and as a lighter aromatic than fvcking merlot.

Pinot noir (and the respective family of pinot wines) are extremely versatile and will compliment cheeses as well as meat.

Spoken with the veracity of a true gentleman. ;)

Though I enjoy Merlot, I would say the best wines I have tasted are Red Zinfadel and Pinot Noir.

Maybe champagne instead? Wine to me seems to go more with dinner than late-night fun.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
