"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.

Asking on a date.

The only kind of date I've ever been on are the school dance and dinner kind of date. I've never randomly asked a chick on a date with the hopes of making her a girlfriend. Here are some questions:

1) What does "dating" mean and how do you reach this status?
2) When you ask a girl on a date, how does an activity receive the formal label of "date"? Do you say "Want to go on a date with me?" (this sounds AFC to me), or when you ask a chick to do something that is just you two is that a date?
3) If you ask her to do something without saying its a date and she asks, "are you asking me on a date?!" how do you respond to that C & F like?

I've never had a "girlfriend" before, but have had girls who are friends. I don't know how to reach that situation. Do you go on offical dates long enough until she says "I love you" or asks if you love her? Are these things gradual? I really don't understand this whole thing.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If she asks you "are you asking me out on a date?"

A GREAT C+F answer is "I just want to feed you"

This is a line from the movie "Down to Earth" with Chris Rock.


Or...be a mystery

"hm....I never thought about that" Smile, then walk away

yeah there is a lot of ambigouity here. I'd also like some clarification, but i think it means different things to different people?

That's a nice line, I just need to redo it so they don't say "that's from a movie."

Some clarification is desired though. I asked some of my friends and they couldn't really answer me either. So I came here, where all of the real DJ's are.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Did you ever watch Anger Management - "I am on the verge of... exploding in my pants!"

Now that's a funny quote lol.

Just relax and say "Yes, I'm asking you on a date" if you really can't think of anything more interesting to say.

Seriously, what's the problem?
It's this kind of *****footing around that's going to turn your chances to ****, rather than an inability to recite some lame line without visibly shaking.

Has the spirit of the DJ taught you nothing.. the mentality is what you need! (unless you resemble Quasimodo)

Man, I'm having the same problem: trying to figure out what to say when asking a girl out. I've never done this before so I'm nervous as hell.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Hmmm...

1. "Dating" means you are going on dates.

2. I just ask them the same way I would ask any other friend. I'll let you figure that out for yourself. I really don't think it's that big of a deal. The definition of an "official date" doesn't really matter.

I really don't think these questions matter much. Definitions, techniques, or lines usually don't elevate your game. And it's just a game, so have fun.

1) So if I just ask them to do stuff, and after several times of this, it becomes understood that we are just "going out"?

2) My situation has become even more confusing.

That "Lauren" girl I was talking all year about that I liked I heard likes me.

Then there's this other chick who obviously likes me because her parents like me and hinted at her needing a boyfriend and her sister said we should go out, and she calls me and stuff.

I don't really want to hurt the second girl, but I've spent so much time working on the first one that I also don't want to think that I've spent all of that time on nothing.

What should I do?

3) I have learned that "Lauren" is liked by my best friend, but I don't think she like him. She often plays around with people's emotions. I have no idea how to get through this situation.

"Lauren likes to play with people's emotions."
She's a ***** but I m guessing she's hotter than the second one.
If I were you I would go after the second girl. She sounds much more promising and sincere.
You said you heard that Lauren likes you then later said that she likes to play with people's emotions. Hmm... I sense something fishy going on.

What is it that you want and why do you want it? That's what you need to figure it out.

The last thing you want when going into a date is to be an AFC trying to sound like a DJ.
 

"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.

Maeisgood, if you're getting such strong signs from number two, why not get with that? Just because you spent a lot of work on number one doesn't mean that you have to accept total success or total failure, you can postpone that for later if you want.
