"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Look. DON'T try to act like Clint Eastwood etc, I SEVERELY ****ed myself up by being too serious because I was trying to be "alpha", I made myself turn my head slow and everything.

Just please don't, it really really ****ed me up doing that, it was VERY hard to get out of the hole I dug for myself by forcing myself to stop laughing and telling jokes etc until that became my personality. Honestly you don't want to do that. Yeah it's hard to sum up in just this post, but I assure you it seriously affected my life for a few years to the point where it was hard to connect with others because I could no longer lighten up and have fun and constantly had to seem "cool and collected" etc, I programmed myself that way.

FORGET the alpha thing and just be normal, honestly. If you want to be "alpha" just learn how to be able to give things back to people twice as bad as they give you. If they make a slightly biting remark about you, say something really witty back and pwn them so everyone laughs at him. You'll establish your place at the top of the deck pretty quickly.

Shyyyt bro thats exactly what im going through, when you stopped behaving like that did u become more AFC? or how'd you just turn into someone who gives back shyt twice as bad?
 

"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.
