"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.

someone offered to set me up on a blind date. i had an absolutely awful time on my first and only blind date. basically i went with a group to a club and i couldn't shake off this girl o talk to other girls. really aggravating. plus she wasn't pretty at all, so i didn't want to be seen with her. :)

my female coworker says she's cute, but i have learned to only value judgments about attractiveness from guys who are talking about girls.

do you guys request a picture before you call up a girl to take her out?
 

"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.

I only accept blind dates from people who I'm absolutely know my taste, and there is only person who knows, that's my brother. He and I have the same taste so we always know whether or not we'll be into a girl when setting each other up.

In the past I accepted blind dates set up by my best female friend. The girl she introd me to were always nice, and kinda cute, (7's), but the never really did it for me. My friend would always be like, "Ohhhh I know this really cute girl that you'll love!". Eh, it was always dissapointing. So yeah, pictures I now insist on.

This is what happens most of the time, at least with people that really don't know your particular taste. They think that the two of you would hit it off only for one reason: YOU'RE BOTH SINGLE, and nothing else. That sucks big time...
 

"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.

Oh yeah? Tell that to the hunchback Hell-Beast that I got set up with, Mister It's-Fun-It's-Like-Gambling.
 

"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.
