"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.

"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.

I guess she won't be wanting your "meat", then.
"Oh I'm a vegetarian too, we have a lot in common
well I'm not too strict of a vegetarian
sometimes I eat eggs and seafood. Chicken once in a while too. And I love a nicely done steak on occasion.
but I feel so much healthier since going vegetarian"

"Hey, I bought some nice juicy steaks! Wanna come over and help me eat...... oh 5hit, you don't eat that stuff. Well, you can just come over and WATCH me eat them, how's that?
"Honestly, I could never see myself dating a vegetarian. I love meat too much.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

C&F: Every time you pass a meat store, exclaim, "ummm... that looks good." or if the two of you walk by a dog or cat: "what a cute dog/cat - looks tasty, too!"
You'd think that vegatarian women would be really pleasantly slim, but most of the ones I've known casually were rather... girthful.
Google the song lyrics "junk food junkie" by Larry Groce - clever 70s novelty song about the hypocrisy of health food nuts.

I was a veggie for about 10 yrs and every family get together some twit would say 'ooh so you don't eat meat then' or 'so, do you live on vegetables?' *giggle* *giggle* :yawn:
Its gets very old very,very fast and you will not come across as being a funny ****y guy at all. Quite the opposite as it'll actually make her think why doesn't this prick just STFU.
