This is me. Any tips for improvement?

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.
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.
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.
Why is it that people expect everyone to like them let alone be attracted to them? Some guys could have a million girls after them and just ONE who wasn't would make a guy feel unattractive.djokovic77 said:I think I am pretty AFC to be honest. I'm 22, gonna be 23 in August. I get hit on a fair amount; in fact my only pickups are basically me being hit on. Occasionally I'll work up the nerve to approach. Generally, when I go out (I'm going out later tonight), I'll get hit on once or twice, but only close (bang or at least lead to a bang) one out of like every 4 times.
The biggest thing is in the girls who I don't hit on/don't hit on me I feel bad energy from them to me. I think it's in my head/AFC. I basically need approval or feel like there is something wrong with how I look. I sometimes look to see if girls just brush by the other guys the same way they do to me. I also have occasional mild acne flareups related to food/digestive issues which I'm getting help for; it doesn't really change the way I look that much but it can affect confidence.
Basically, I guess I feel like good looking guys would be swarmed everywhere they go lol.

If you get girls hitting on you, even once a night, AND you are closing one out of FOUR, you are ahead of 90% of guys.

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.
I recommend ALL of you get the F*CK off my message board tonight and go out to a busy nightclub and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. No excuses.Leopold said:that's the problem... I never been to bars nor clubs.
I get hit a lot by elder woman. Seriously, a LOT. That's where most of my flirts comes from.
Girls my ages just plainly ignore me or just pretend to do so.
Need to visit one of those places and see how it goes. I just dont want to go alone due to lack of experience.
What other places do you recommend?
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
