"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.

(FYI - I'm at the AFC level. A success every here and there but I've got a long way to go.)

I have lived in my current apartment about a year. There's a cute girl that lives in my fairly small complex. Due to our differing schedules, I have only run across her face to face a couple times over the last year and for very brief moments. The brief chances I have had to talk to her, she seems very nice, down to earth, and girl next door-ish. Just the way I like. Problem is, our encounters are so brief I don't have the time to work up a way to escalate things. I'm sure the DJs out there can do this sh*t within 1 minute, but I'm still learning the game.

Next time I see her which could come at any moment, I want to be prepared. I need to be able to escalate beyond the "friendly neighbor" crap and do so in the short time that I might be in the elevator with her. If any of you have been in this situation and have techniques, help me out brothers!
 

"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.

The Delivery Guy Approach...

Hahaaa,it's funny that you ask this because I was in this same situation. My bro (a natural at DJing) told me to do this:

Get an empty pizza box and knock on her door. Play the role of a delivery guy, and when she discovers the box is empty...say something like, "Well, I must have eaten all the pizza on my way here, we can order another...." etc. Worked for me...let me know if it works for you!

if this is a girl you don't know, and all of a sudden you're knocking on her door she will think you're a stalker
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is nothing more than my own personal view, but I try to stay away from approaching girls that I'm going to end up seeing on a daily basis without effort (effort meaning arranging times to meet in order to see one another). Given that you described your apartment complex as a small one, I would advise against approaching this one. However that doesn't mean that you can't practice flirting.

Also on a side note, stop refering to yourself as a person at the AFC level. Guys at the AFC level are the ones that don't have a clue as to how they can rid themselves of thier AFC status. From now on in your worse, most self-loathing moment refer to yourself as a Recovering AFC. Remember "I think, therefore I am."

Yeah you're right...after a little more rapport, this works wonders.
