"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.

I've tried several ways to become outgoing when I'm sober but I just can't do it. I don't want to have to drink all the time to talk to a girl. Any advice?
 

"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.

practice. It took me years to get out of my shell, and I still go back every once and a while. Its human. its who you are. As I have said in other threads regarding shyness, my experience breaking it involved putting myself in positions where I couldn't be shy. After a while, you realize the fear is unfounded and you get confident exerting yourself. Sports reffing was a great way to accelerate this. They even teach you how to not talk like a sissy.

Alcohol does this to everyone which is why a good number of folks drink. Heck, I do too! All it does is artificially make you not care what other people think. If you can achieve this w/ out assistance, than your shyness should abate.

I was like you at one point. Don't say you "can't" do it. It just takes time and practice. You just need to realize that nothing bad will happen from opening up and having a good time. The more you stop thinking about it and just force yourself, the more confidence you will get for next time.

Just think about it. If you are shy and don't talk to a girl, you leave without a date/number/girl.

But, if you try and push through your shyness 1 of 2 things will happen. Either you leave without a date/number/girl, or you leave WITH a date/number/girl.

Just think of it in the respect that there is no positive outcome by not pushing through and talking to these girls. It won't get you anywhere so just face it head on and stop thinking about rejection.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Canada, eh?
What made you shy in the first place? I keep asking people and never get a straight forward answer.

Well, I switched schools a bunch as a child and I think that's what made me shy. I constantly had to face a new group of strangers.

I suffered the same faith as you..... And I also suffered really long from it.
Right now I (and lots of other people) see booze as an social aid and there is no problem in using it. Some people need it, some don't.
