"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

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 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.

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.
 

"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.

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
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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.
