"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.

Angry with myself... Others may be able to relate.

I'll get right to it. I can start up a conversation with a guy easy, but when I see a chick, even if I have something in my head to say to open, I won't do it. I don't understand what my problem is. I had 2-3 chances in the gym today to at least say something, and every time I had something simple to say to open. Girl was doing an exercise half-assed near me, I had a simple opener in my head: "That looks waaay to easy for you, I think you need to up the weight if you want to see any results," Then commence kino by "showing" her how to do it correctly. I did nothing, AFC'd out. Girl was cleaning a mat off in the stretching area, I was doing crunches nearby. I could have easily said: "I think you missed a spot right there." Nope, AFC again. There was one other but I think you get the point. I had no trouble at all having a short conversation with a guy I had never met before, though, and talking to a few guys who I already knew. I'm making myself sick just thinking about it.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

What EXACTLY is going through your head when you're hesitating?

All I can think that was going through my mind was either nothing. Nothing at all. Or my opener was repeating itself and WANTING to come out, but.. Not...

What else is going on in your life? Have you let yourself become comfortable? What mental attitude do you cultivate and show to the world?

When these things are in harmony, the nuts and bolts of PUA become second nature.

Inner Game is always the answer.

It sounds to me like you're in a 'sarging' mindset. Instead of worrying about the women in the room and approaching them and all that garbage, go out to have a good time and let the women see that. Once they realize you're a cool guy, you can open with whatever you want and they won't care.
 

"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.
