"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.

Aright, you gotta stop saying you just want to be friends...

From what your saying I can pick up on a bit of neediness and supplication on your part. If my friend said he had something to do, or bailed last minute, I ALWAYS have something to do afterwards, even if it is just going home after and sleeping.

It sounds as thopugh when she changes her mind about the plans, you get uptight inside about it, that is one-itis. It doesn't matter if you want to to be friends or lovers, one-itis is indiscriminate of your goals... it IS having your thoughts based on one person... whether long term or short, it affects you severely and makes you think too much on the subject about things you would normally shrug off and not give two ****s about.

You can stay her friend, just her friend, stop obeying her commands... If you go on a DATE than you are going on a DATE... your allowed to tell her off, if it was PLANNED beforehand and you. The thing is, FRIENDS DON'T DATE! They hang out, go to parties, drink together, and have fun, wrestle, and all above and inbetween. There is no DATES with friends, they're just missing out on the fun otherwise...

If you have evr had a friend, and you were having a party... say you invited him, but he decided to stay home and do his homework because he was slacking off too much in highschool(or what have you). If the party was BUMPIN' and everybody had a blast, next day at school everybody was talking about the awesome party last night, and they all can't wait to do it again... What will your friend think about his slacking off, and what he's going to do next time for your party?
 

"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.

AWESOME post! You are SO right! I was misunderstanding what one-itis was; I thought it meant you only wanted to date that one person or nobody else. Thank you so much for the clearing up, since what you explained was EXACTLY what the situation was!

Thanks guys!:up:

As for your advice, you're probably right. I was just wondering if anybody had any advice to give that helps a guy get over someone.
This was the last reply I read, but here's the deal: Do things that will take your mind off of her. Go out, have fun. Stuff that will pass the time. If you meet a girl that happens to like video games, take her to an arcade. If you meet someone who likes to watch sports, take her to a football or baseball game. Have friends over and watch movies, or play games. Basically, you need to stay busy, busy enough so that you are tired when you get ready to get some sleep, so that you won't think about this girl anymore, until it becomes natural to not think of what might have been. I used to think all the time of what might have been, but now I say screw that. Screw 'what was' and deal with 'what is' What is, is that you need to get over this girl, and I hope I've given you a couple of ideas to help. Good luck.

You're her "surrogate boyfriend"...meaning that you fill a void in her life when she is not involved with another man.

Go date other women.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

That's it. Short, sweet, and straight to the point. In that concise reply, Wyldfire has told you
1) What you are to her
2) What you need to do.
