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.
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.
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.
you'd need to drink about 100 of them before u really started to get pissed..Originally posted by bud_2005
Well if I couldn't find a buyer some night I might want to buy some. Note there is some alcohol in it. .05% alcohol in NA beer compared to 5% in most beers.

On second thought, if you're 18 - just go to a bar. All you've got to do is go up to anyone at the bar and say "Hey, can you get me a XXXXXX... here's the money, along with $1 for a tip... thanks".
Now you're good to go.
Don't go there.Originally posted by quest

at 18, you can go into a bar with people who are allowed to drink, but ur not allowed to drink?
that SEEMS like a really bad system..
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.
our system is we dont want all our young people dying in car wrecks, so they should stay home and drink beer in the basement or out on the back porch with grandpa like we have done for centuriesOriginally posted by quest

On a side note, it's interesting to drink it - we gave it to one of our friends a year or two back without letting him know there was no alcohol in it... about 10 beers later, he was drunk as hell. Odd, but I guess there's a psychological explanation for it somewhere.
My former friend back in Maryland got 3 dui's and decided to switch to non alcoholic brew. He really does like the taste of beer that much, he just doesn't know when to say when, when it comes to being retardedly drunk.Originally posted by familyguyfan
What's the point of non-alcoholic beer? I mean, I do enjoy the taste of beer, and I'll drink it, but I don't like it enough that I would buy beer without alcohol in it.
And since it doesn't have alcohol, why do you have to be a certain age to buy it?
When you're in the army you can get access to alcohol no problem. I got a marine buddy who'd call me drunk from his base telling me about all the hookers they had dancing on their tables and going back to their barracks for "after parties".Originally posted by Vasko
i dont know about that, but whats really pissed some people off is that you can go to war at 18 and kill people, but you cant have a beer!
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
