"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.

We got any classical music fans up in here? I don't just mean classical in the "classical" sense but also baroque, romantic, 20th century, opera, etc.. basically western art music. I'm the only person I've ever met who's ipod is > %50 classical.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Wow! Pretty sweet if you ask me. I am open to all that great stuff. I live in a place now where you can hear live performances for almost nothing (as compared to the West). Would you consider the composers from the old Soviet Union to be Western art music?

BTW, I would recommend everyone to give Opera a chance.

Does Metallicas S&M concert count?

Absolutely.

I'm not as much of a connasseur as I'd like to be, but classical music is really something.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm one. Big on Mozart and Chopin. And yes, if I owned an ipod, it would consist of probably around 65% classical music :)

I'm a big fan of Philip Glass, I guess that would be modern classical.

Adagio For Strings is my favorite classical song.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I am only somewhat familiar with classical music,a fan,but not aficionado. If anything, My favorite piece of classical music is the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Oddysey. Which is also one of my favorite films. I highly recomend both.

Yah, I'm into a lot of classical stuff, too. I love the old Ludwig Van (esp. his intense 7th Symphony), Orff's Carmina Burana, Stravinsy's Rite of Spring, in particular.

I like composers from the Romantic era the most, particularly piano music. Chopin, Debussy, etc. Very beautiful music.

Oh hell yeah, Soviet music is awesome. Shostakovitch is probably my favorite composer, I love his 5th symphony so much, plus his first cello concerto is awesome too. Where I am now, performances are an expensive rarity, and I'm moving to New York City next year so they'll turn into just "expensive". I recommend everyone give classical music and opera a chance.
