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.
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.

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.

Yeah, I did mine through a private company when I took driver's ed. Driver's ed is a requirement for you to get your license here, and at the end of the course, the driving test was included. It was basically the same thing we were doing before, except he didn't tell me if I was doing anything wrong.Originally posted by GlutusMaximus86
Don't be nervous, you can fail if you get too intimated. I failed the driver's test two times because I was too nervous. The third time I took it with a private company, which had a much more relaxed attitude, and passed on my third try. I have always been a cautious driver since the day I got my learners permit, but when I was behind the wheel during my driving test and knew that getting my license depended on this, I got way too nervous. So remember just relax and do not let it get to you.
