"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.

There is this hb that works in the same bldg as me, and I see on my way to work. Before I had like no intentions of getting with her. People go extremely outa their way to just pass by her desk. This chick gets so much damn attention, I was like screw it. I'd always just ignore her. Just recently she's been initiating convo with me. I'd do the c&f with not too much 'f', giver her a hard time,etc.and not be too excited, cause I wasnt. I still wasnt interested in this chick. It worked like a charm. She's happy to see me, asked one of my supervisors about me,etc. Now I'm not sure what to do. I was thinking of backing of the c&f and neg-ing, but I have a feeling once I do that Im just another guy again.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

YOU:
Hey Got E-mail?

HER:
Yeah

YOU:
Great. Write it down

HER:
OK (She starts writing it)

YOU:
Write down your number too. I'll only call you (pause) ten times a day.

END

Even if you aren't into her, I'd still get her number. That shows that you are man enough to do it. I doubt all those other wussies that are into her have enough balls to do that alone. Balls are good by the way.

What can you do? Well, the simple answer is close her. Try to set something up outside work, and make a move on her (kiss on lips). You will know immediately if she has interest in you, rather than wasting your time.

C+F is a technique to be used lightly throughout a conversation, not every sentence has a ****y comment. That is overdoing it, and it's unsustainable - after a while it gets old and you can't develop proper rapport. If she loses interest just because you were playing "hard to get"/unobtainable - i.e. being ****y and showing no interest, then you can't win and she's a waste of time anyway (she just enjoys the "chase"/challenge).

If you carry on playing the game and looking for signals, you will get more invested in her and could start getting one-itis. If she really loves attention she could be an attention wh0re and then you can be sure she will string you along and you'll always be thinking there could be a chance. If that's the case you're better off not proceeding with her anyway. That is a headache you don't need and a great route to one-itis with an attention wh0re (one of the worst situations to be in!).

So make a move and find out.

Uh-oh, I smell trouble. This is what you get into when you don't do things purposely. :nono:
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
