"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.

well the question is, have you ever had to break up with someone or had a woman think less of you because you didn't believe in the same religion she believes in?

people around here are religious, I feel that it might be a problem :box:
 

"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.

Don't worry yourself about it. Ignore it and it probably won't come up unless you're getting married/having kids.

I dealt with this issue recently.

As long as you both dont feel strongly about it, its alright if you believe in different things. But if you have strong opinions/convictions - then it can be a problem. Examine your beliefs, how strongly you believe in them, and do the same with her, and make a judgement call.
 

"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.

As an atheist let me tell you: F*ck it. Never bring it up. If she brings it up, LIE! At least, if all you wanna do is bone. If you actually want to go somewhere with this chick, its very possible religious differences could be a deal breaker.

Would you mind sharing what your religious views are as well as her religious views?

Secondly, no matter what religion you ascribe to, everyone wants to f*ck. So if you're only seeing her to get some action then this doesn't really matter. But if the two of you are seriously considering pursuing a LTR, then it's best to discuss these things before any further commitments are made.

I personally have this fantasy of f*cking some sexy Mormon chick as she knocks on my door with hopes of converting me. I'm not a religious person but I'm definitely a very horny person!

Take care.

I believe that if it is a similiar religion like maybe Lutheran/Catholic/Christian type it can work. It's when you really mix it up like Christian with a Jew or Muslim, it can be hairy and sometimes a roller coaster ride.

If it is a true mixed like the second listed above, all I can say is "Don't Take It Seriously". It might be something that will come up in the end, if it gets serious. Protect yourself.

Just be careful, I just had an experience not long ago. It crashed and burned. It wasn't just about religion, but also mixed with culture. It didn't work out. I am surprised it lasted so long. Take care out there.

During dating no, unless she strongly disagrees with your atheism. Marriage, yes. Imagine what her parents would do to you when they find out you are an atheist.
 

"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.
