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.
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.
Well...good to see thats the only problem. I guess everything else is ok. I find it interesting how thats all you had to say...i have a feeling youre not a fan of myspace.Vincent said:
The idea behind myspace is decent. Just so few pages are made well. It's like the modern geocities. Plus they're all so generic. It's all the same thing on each page, some survey, some pictures, blah blah blah. Then I really hate the fact that peoples songs auto play. I wish that I could turn that crap off. I don't want to hear whatever yellow card or taking back sunday song is popular this week. If I want to listen to your music it should be an option.oakraiderz2 said:
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.
I guess I should take that survey, those pictures, my blog and my song thats on auto play and get them off then. lol just kidding I have none of that.Vincent said:
