"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a ***** and I get nervous really easy, also very excited. Like I can hardly sleep before dates sometimes because I'm excited even though I don't know wtf I am excited about. lol.

I think it impedes on my game and effects my performance and actions on dates. I would really like to calm down a little.

Lets say for example, I have a date, would having a few drinks before, so im just a bit tipsy help? Liquid confidence?

Usually when I'm drunk I am a bit more physical and confident.

Any thoughts?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

if your date is gonna last more than an hour or so, I wouldn't really recommend it because then you'll feel nervous when your buzz wears off. You could maybe take something the night before if you're having trouble sleeping, I guess. (I've had that problem, too, although it definitely diminishes with experience.)

I really don't recommend people using alcohol to help their game other than for their own enjoyment and within the context of social gatherings, but getting tipsy has helped me sometimes take away anxiety problems.

deal with the deeper fear instead of trying to mask it

why exactly are you nervous?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

More times then not alcohol will make you think your mack daddy but in reality you probably look like a sloppy son of a b*tch. Probably not the message you wanna send if you wanna be taken seriously.

Where's your pride man? You want a girl to focus on what you have to offer which ain't a damn thing when you're balls deep into a fifth. Five years ago I was a horny nervous mess everytime I had a vision of getting my d*ck wet, but you put yourself in enough positions to gain experience and learn what works for you and it will click for you one day. Not always a flat road though.

Drink your fill, but do it with your boys. Stay sober before the date. Good luck bro.

:down: Defiantly don't drink before a date. The only time I could see that being acceptable is if you were in at a bar or a party where it would be normal. Also even if it did work for you once or twice it seems like that would make a very easy gateway to becoming an alcoholic! Not many girls would find it attractive if you showed up to a date smelling like liquor either.

If you are nervous and think a drink or two might help, why not meet her at a pub for a drink. If you have some attractive female friends get them to help you out and "accidentally" show up at the same place, have them join you and talk you up. This happened to me, I didn't plan it out but by the end of the night I was thought of as a god by the girl I was on a date with.

The right thing to do would be not to drink as everyone said but if you need a little something then by all means, do what you need to, to get successful. However I would say, only have enough to get a shine on, don't get drunk.

Also don't drink during the first 1.5 hours of the date either, you don't want to get drunk on her. If you can't not drink after a few, then don't bother having a few before.

Like everything else in life, its about effective management, if you can manage it then go for it, if not, then its going to be even more of an impedient.

Somebody told me that they are a super nervous flyer and she takes this pill her doctor gaver her before she gets on an airplane and says it relaxes her and stops her from being a nervous wreck when there's turbulence. I wish I remember what that medicine was called. Anyway, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a date too.
 

"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.

Best bet is just tell your pal who's a DJ to take her out for 'ya; it's the best way not to deal with the real issue.

guys who never get play that tell u to not drink have no idea what they are talking about.

YES have a few drinks if that is what will make u feel comfortable enough to escalate into sex.......make sure to drink with the girl too, it kinda creates a "party date" environment and everything goes more fun that way

dont be a boring hard headed overanalyzing chump

If she showed up drunk to a date with you, would that be a turn-on?

its much better to be tipsy and fcuk the girl on the 1st date, then to be sober and not even hook up with that same girl

use logic - getting tipsy before a date wont kill ya chump azz

Imagine your date was a little drunk before you got together and you could smell the alcohol on her. Would that turn you on?

Be so good they can't ignore you.

why do virgins feel the need to give any kind of advice on how to seduce and fcuk a girl?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
