"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.

Okay, so I watched 40-Year-Old-Virgin movie, and it was downright hilarious, AND sort of DJ related!

The bearded guy, I forgot what his name was, made a strong point. Most guys don't know HOW to talk to girls, and you can talk to them by focusing the convo on THEM.

The moment he mentioned that I thought, "DJ Style~ yeah, I know this stuff already :cool:"

So Andy (steve carrell) uses his advice and chats up this really hot blonde employee @ a bookstore. Using beareded's advice about asking women questions and have them talk about themselves, he takes it really literally. If you guys saw the movie, you'd understand my question, but for those of you that didn't:

Andy goes up to the hot blonde,

Blonde: "Can I help you with anything?"
Andy: "Can you help me with anything?"
Blonde: "Are you looking for a book or something?"
Andy: "Am I looking for a book?

and it goes on, and he literally returns the girl's statements into questions, and she begins to feel interested in him.

My question is: do you think that really works? If a girl says something non-IOI, non-interested things, can you really turn her neutral statements upside down and get her into you, or is this all Hollywood garbage?
 

"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.

It's not what he said but the way he said it in, and the manner in which she knew his words were meaningless but his intent was pretty clear.

He was basically just walking over there cause he liked her, and she knew that and thought he had balls.

What the guy pulls on the chick in the book store was a little exadurated.

That kind of aproach *COULD* work, but she will have to be a total sl*t as you find out later in them film.

If you look back at the speed dating part, that tactic clearly wasn't working.

If you do bump into someone like that, then you must have done something right in your past life!

That's not a tactic, it's something that people already use, it's called "asking a question for a question" which is very annoying after usually the first time you do it.
