"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.

bullsh!t. I use this all the time and it works fine. It will only be sleazy if you make it look that way. Just kiss her hand as if that's how you acknowledge every female and don't make a big deal about it. However if you try and be all smooth about it, you're gonna look like a weirdo :D
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

If you act like this is the way you acknowledge every female, you will come off as a weirdo. When on Romulus, do as the Romulans do. I'd stick with the handshake for intros.

No you won't. You will come off as classy. Like I said, it will only look weird if you make a big deal about it. I'm not saying to bow or take a knee and make a big show out of it, just casually touch her knuckles to your lips when she gives you her hand. Trust me, I wouldn't be giving advice on this if it wasn't something I was experienced with. But do whatever makes you feel comfortable:)

This is on target!

From what I have seen is that girls like more of the fun type guy in the beginning then she does some don juan cat. Giving her a high five with a big smile, that right there will start you off right.

Of course it depends on the situtation, but in general I think 'kissing the hand' is just corny. But then how old are you? Perhaps its a good idea if you're over 30.
 

"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.

Make like you're going to kiss her hand, maintain EC, don't stoop (stay standing straight), then kiss your own hand instead of hers. Swipes the pedestal like nobody's business and shows that you are playful and funny.

What I always do while being introduced is the handshake except I have a 'secret' handshake planned out that the lady doesn't know about but is easy to follow along with.. Basically you take their hand through it. It's super unexpected and hilarious. Just some strange handshake you would kind of do with close friends but you act serious about it like EVERYBODY in the world knows about it except her. Then accuse her of not being in the loop. Like whoa you don't know about this shake? I thought everyone did it.
