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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
You have to ISOLATE first. Then talk about: her hair, her clothes, her shoes, her purse, her job, her family, her vacations, her pets, etc, etc. Get the picture?HandyAndy said:I realized today, my problem isnt talking to the girls, its breaking the ice. I know, to break the ice you obviously need to talk to the girl. Are there any other ways to break the ice, like a smile or more?
Plus, I think he's referring to girls in CLASS....a high school to be precise. Isolation just isn't gonna happen....young_gun said:DonJuan11, I've always had a really hard time taking advice from you.
ISOLATE HER FIRST?? You don't know anything about this girl - her name, her phone number, hell you haven't even said HI to her yet - and you're saying Isolate her first??
I've approached quite a few women in my day and isolation was never what I was going for on the initial approach.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
IMHO, I meant Isolation = try to make sure she is by herself before you appoach her and talk to her. You don't have to, but its generally easier that way.young_gun said:DonJuan11, I've always had a really hard time taking advice from you.

OK misunderstanding. By "Isolation" I meant "try to make sure she is by herself rather than with 5 friends or where other people can listen to what you are saying to her. If she is by herself, it will be easier for you to talk to her and ask her questions about herself without her family or friends or strangers listening in on what you are talking about with her. One on one is much easier than one on three or one on five
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
What chapter of the ElStud e-book is that in? I can't find it in the table of contents.ElStud said:Haha, further proof that you, HandyAndy have no reason to be hating on guys getting numbers and stuff. But uhum, I'll try to help you out though. You break the ice by saying something most guys wouldn't say. Neg her, use C+F, use BT raising things, all of this will break the ice.
