Well, looks like Clooney's no longer with the Italian broad. I was worried about him for awhile but now I see I had nothing to stress over. Of course his situation is different than any guy's here, one still can learn good behaviors from celebs 
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.
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 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.
You should still be doing that, especially if you want your marriage to be successful.L B said:I am following his footsteps if my first marriage ever fails. Just make money, stay healthy, and look good. The ladies will keep coming.
All four of those Apocalyptic horse-drawn man cows have bashed Clooney for not succumbing to their societal expectations.Wilko said:Let me guess, The View clique is already running him down e.g. Who does he think he is? Why doesn't he get married? He must be gay. There must be something wrong with him.
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.
erm, no. At least not in the US. I'm not aware of one US state that enforces "palimony." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PalimonyJitterbug said:Isn't it in the law in many Anglosphere countries now that 2 years of dating equal defacto relationship, which means the woman is entitled to your sh1t?
