"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.
DJ's in Church. Is God testing you?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

If I feel that way then I would throw 1 Cor 7:2,9 back at condemning thoughts because it's written in the Bible to avoid sexual temptation one is supposed to be married. It says to avoid fornication, people should be married and have a spouse.Bumsniff said:
1 Cor 7:9 acknowledges that people have sexual temptations if they don't have a spouse to release that sexual energy on. God created sex between married people so there is nothing wrong with sex itself in marriage. How do you think you were born in the first place? Where would you get the idea that it is wrong?
If you are not attracted to women, then how do you expect to want to be married in the first place? I'd say go and find someone and get married, and if you get rejected then at least you tried to deal with your sexual temptation.
"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.
Once you realize that life doesn't mean anything and you might as well kill yourself, then you may just change that tune.twentee said:
I really don't understand the thinking of people like you. You're like a progress bar that stays stagnant at 50%. You're basing your beliefs on the inadequacies of humans, which is the whole point of religion. You're basically saying "since dumb people use religion to get by, religion is stupid." That's like saying diapers are bad because babies crap their pants.
