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.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Does it make you more appreciative of what you have?mahon83050 said:Not to mention the guy was only 5'4". Is he happy with himself? Maybe, I don't know. However, I can't imagine looking like that and being happy.
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.
Deus ex Pianoforte said:Sounds about right. The guy denouncing a looks-matter thread is out nailing the hotties while the guy PERPETUATING the looks-matter myth is losing his virginity after being on the site for 7 years.
so how many thousands of cold approaches have you done to get this loser mindset?Deus ex Pianoforte said:Tricky question. Have I used the tools on this site to gain confidence? Yes. Did they work? No. Have I hooked up with any girls because of the tools? I have a girlfriend, but in the 2 years that I've been on this site I've had exactly one opportunity to hook up with a girl. And she was wasted. Far below average success, so I must be far below average-looking, right? Of course not; that's absurd. But that's exactly what guys like mahon are trying to preach.
Oh, I don't whine. I accept my lack of confidence as a major personal flaw. We all have them. My flaw just happens to be the number one quality women look for in a man. And every time I try I either get ignored and occassionally flat-out rejected. I must be REALLY ugly, right?
This is one of the main reasons this thread is illegal, btw. There's nothing to argue. The facts speak for themselves.
How are you not banned? You make no points.mahon83050 said:You're an idiot my friend. Just look how you yourself treat attractive people subconsciously and all of the studies done on it. So I guess these experts and psycologists are all idiots as well?
I got laid last month, but it was not my first time. Where the hell did that come from.
