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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
/> I agree. My ex behaved in the exact same manner. Don't waste your time. Focus on getting better and or go for someone else.No.Danny said:Attention *****. Stringing along

No you're not. You're only left to wonder if you're a chump or completely new to dating.Raymond said:So basically you're left to wonder yes or no.
What do you supposed it means?
There's no further action necessary........on to the next chick.What will be your actions?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
She is using you for validation. Each time she thinks you are about to walk away she will flirt a little to get you hooked again. The cycle continues until she gets bored of you or you figure out what is going on.A girl who doesn't reject or say yes.
Anything other than an enthusiastic "yes" is a rejection.Raymond said:So basically you're left to wonder yes or no.

I would really argue that. Most girls can play the game and pretend they are not interested. ESPECIALLY at the beginning.Redwood said:Ambiguous answers are definitely a no. Trust me, if a girl wants to meet you, she'll claw and scratch her way through ANYTHING.
Lotus Effect said:It is all great advice, and it is all truth! Bokanovsky, nismo, Redwood, PairPlus, Igetit!... Even hudpes and No.Danny. All correct!
But the real truth is how does this affect you??
If it was from a girl you've never met, it wouldn't matter at all I suppose.
So all of this, is because this particular girl's opinion, matter to you, which shouldn't.
You should get to a point that this means nothing to you. Paradoxically, and ironically, when you get to that point (of not giving a sh*t) is when you'll get less of this behaviour!
EDIT: Really great stuff on your signature Igetit!
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
