"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.

There's a chick where I work.
Shes shown interest in my for the past...6 months now.
last week I asked for her phone number.
Normally I wouldn't date people from work but I'm leaving next week, so this isn't an issue...

So anyway. I get her number.
The next day (at work) she tells me she'll be at home that evening, watching a movie by herself because all her family are out. She also mentions she'll be in from 8pm onwards.
I took this as a huge hint to call (as I had not called her yet) and maybe invite myself over.

So it gets to about 8:20 and I call. She picks up, sound very happy to hear from me, asks me to call back in 20 mins cos she's driving home from the stables she also works at.
I call back 30 minutes later. No answer.
I send a text for her to call me as I'm out of credit (which I was).
She texts back "Have gone round friends house to watch film. Will call you later if not too late."

I called up some friends and went to the pub.
She didn't call.


I'm in two minds about this chick.

The GOOD:
She's a total HB (I'd chalk her up as 2 notches on my score board)

She has been pursuing me for ages and hasn't let up, meaning she is definately interested. I am clearly the prize here.

The BAD:
Last night's calls have baffled me.

The UGLY:
She tries to indicate that she is 'hot property', although it's plain to see that she isn't in huge demand for some reason. Or perhaps she's just choosey?


I'm going to sit back and wait for her to call. This seems like the best course of action. What do you guys think?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Sounds like she went to a friends house to watch movies. No big deal. They're not "all out to get you"!

Call back some other time and talk to her.

Going to the pub is a good call! Beer solves everything.

Plus if she HAD called later, you would have been out and it looks better for you all round.

I'd proceed with caution and keep an eye out for other flaky behaviour, but other than that, I think you're doing fine.

Maybe I just need to chill?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
