"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So this Jamie girl who I'm friends with is leaving and I said "What you aren't even gonna say bye to me?" blah blah, she stops and we start talking. So I say she has to give me a high five and she says okay. So I play with that for a while, she high fives but I miss on purpose, just for the hell of makiing things interesting. Then I'm like "Okay, for real this time" and we do the high five. I'm like yeah and I hug her. So I swear when we hugged we were so close we could've kissed if we wanted to and she even randomly said "You look fabolous today" and I'm like thanks and say bye to her as she goes. So could I have gone for it?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"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.

Dude, you fumbled a hail mary.

At least you got within a few yards of the end zone. That's SOMETHING i guess. :p

You fumbled the snap, picked it up, fumbled the handoff, picked it up, and then you somehow found a way to Tony Romo/Kevin Dyson yourself at the one yard line.

This is pretty much the equivalent of fumbling the snap on a kneel down to force overtime, and the other team running it back all the way.

Just Do it

Could you have gone for the kiss? I would have to say no. The reason I say that is because of the first sentence in your thread. You said,"This girl Jamie who I'm friends with". Unless I'm mistaken, you have already established the kind of relatonship you have with this girl, and it's platonic.
If you had just recently met this girl, then maybe it would have been possible.
But if you have been friends with her for while, then no.

That convo seems really awkward to me. I mean you ask her to say bye to you and then you ask her for a "high five"? I mean what the hell is that... A high five?! dude that's lame. Maybe this girl is just really ugly or desperate but I highly doubt you could have gone for the kiss. I bet she wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. It sounds like you forced the whole thing.

but what do I expect from someone in the school band...
 

"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.

LMAO, 95% of his "successful" field reports end in the high 5. It's his trademark move.
