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.
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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
no you're wrongHuffman said:Your post doesn't make you seem any less retarded, so well done.
Did it fit in your head that the above suggestions were for first/second dates with people you hardly even know? Your dates are good for when you're already in a relationship, I give you that, but trying these too early would just scare the girls away. Like cuddling in the dark or inviting her over already.
I agree though that karting is very strange, it's expensive and is only fun in a group anyway!
ewwww i hate jagermiester, and hotel rooms are too gloomy. I prefer my place or his. We have our stuffs, we can share, we can raid his fridge and make crepes. Fall asleep in our bed, It's real and personal, it's not forced, not planned, we can do whatever we want. EVen saying bye and **** off home at any moment.SharinganUser said:A bottle of Jagermiester and a hotel room = great date.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Only a dutch word could describe what I want to do to you...BBbardot said:ewwww i hate jagermiester, and hotel rooms are too gloomy. I prefer my place or his.

I would seriously "Swaffel" you in the face for a fvcking hour until you sh*t the fvck up... Seriously, why is this AW (just so you understand attention Wh0re) lurking here...
Look at post #4
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.
That sounds very cool, it needs a lot of planning to make sure it isn't going to freak her out though. If you have time and resources it's a great idea.WhitePimp said:I always wanted to take a girl on a fake crime. I would set it up so it looks like we're doing something highly illegal, get our pheromones and adrenaline pumping, then once the 'crime' is complete, we escape like we're about to get caught or there's people chasing us. Her head/heart will be spinning with so many emotions if played correctly that you're guaranteed to be the most unforgettable date she's ever had.
i went there because i liked him. A lot. Yeah usually you can figure those things pretty fast. And i knew nothing bad could happen to me in a godamn embassy.Htienvu said:BBbardot... Just because you went to someone you just meet's place in your underwear and play "hide n seek" doesn't mean every girl will do the same. Anyways, this thread is just to brainstorm ideas together, there is NO need to flame etc... If you haven't got useful inputs then please do not post.
