"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.

business cards : take them or still ask for a cell?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

whats your opinion on business cards?
This is funny you asked that, because Saturday a girl gave me her business card. And I said something like, "I don't normally call people at their work, what's your cell number?" She gave it to me. I would always get the cell number too.

Aye. In agreement. I used to get work #s at first, and they staled quickly. Now its either cell or I TTYL.

business cards sometimes have a cell on them, I think. but yeah, I usually ask specifically for the cell #

In some ways, I guess a non-cell # might be good. Cell phones always have call waiting, and it's usually not a good idea to leave either
1) a voice message or
2) multiple missed calls
on a girl's cell before you've actually gone out with her.

i always hear conflicting answers on that one. Some people say leave the message, some say dont. Is that a judgement call or what?
 

"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.

well, i haven't really tried it so I don't know from experience, but it seems doubtful that a woman would call you back if you left a message without having gone out with her first

i mean, hell, half the time they don't even call you back if you have gone out with them already
