"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.

Lately I haven't logged on any dating apps too much but I got a match a few days ago and I've been practicing getting into the right mindset. Overall I've been busting my @ss. With the expression, using this method:


This is an average looking 30yo woman. I don't think I'll actually go on a date with her. For me she's somewhat attractive but through this conversation I feel like I'm being treated like an object. I also don't like my performance here. I feel and think that I should be doing better than this. I'm going to keep working at it until I nail it.

And for any of you lurkers out there. If I can work six days a week for the past couple months and still show measurable improvement, with things like texting and cold approaches, you 9 to 5'ers have no excuses.

Dude...what are we doing here?

How are you gonna lead the conversation in this direction, then disqualify her for submitting and going in that direction with you? Do you even know what you want? This woman is 12 years younger than you, attractive, highly interested, and submitted to your frame.

I don't understand the logic in asking for something and being disappointed when it's given to you.

This looks unfinished.

How did the story end?

She just replied a minute ago saying that she wants to hang out with me and she'll let me know when she gets off work tomorrow.

She's coming on pretty strong. I'll have to see how this goes.

"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.

So anyway she said that she doesn't want to go dancing because she gets too tired after work and wants to grab drinks instead. Not my kind of girl and not happening.

Why are you so committed to dancing?

This is such a slam dunk to the point where SHE offered YOU a more intimate alternative. Do you think you self-sabotage? Because I'm starting to think you're your own worst enemy.

I'll like it better if she comes back to me otherwise I don't think I'm losing anything. She's not 100% my type anyway and I talk to women prettier than her from time to time despite my six day, ~50 hour, bust my @ss work schedule.
 

"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.

"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.

Have you considered that dancing might be an awkward first date for a chick? If it’s a must-have that she’s a line dancer .. just try for numbers at the club/ event. It’s a spanner in the works otherwise.
He's a salsa snob if memory serves. But here's the thing. Every girl loves to dance. So meet her for drinks & see what happens. After you get laid she will be much more open to going dancing.

Just don't be a rigid teacher type on the dance floor. You are there to move & have fun. I am an accomplished dancer, but God has a sense of humor & paired me with a man who doesn't really care about dancing...so I'm probably rusty now because I won't go without him, lol.

If by knowing they self you mean displaying extreme rigidity instead of fluidity that's more like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I know what I want and a girl who gets tired that easily is not going to work. The way she came on leads me to believe that she's a bit too mature. I don't want to stoop down to that level where I go on dates with women who I lack attraction for.

I'm getting better and better. I just need to target younger women.

It could be but I like dates that are more active. It gets the blood flowing.

You know what else gets the blood flowing? Sex.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
