"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Next Friday my buddies girlfriend arranged to have a double date with this girl she works with and me. They decided that they want to go to the Zoo where they have this big Christmas thing going on and it is sort of romantic, we actually went there last year with my buddy and our now ex girlfriends. Anyway, next Friday happens to be my birthday and since I don't have anything special planned I am actually excited to go one this blind/double date. All I know about the girls is that she is blonde, attractive and from Indiana.

I am pretty confident with the situation and really I am not too worried about the date, but I don't want to come off as a total loser either by going on a blind date on my birthday.

Any advice for blind dates, or excuses for being so available on my birthday?
 

"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.

Leave the Zoo with her. Don't let her in on your Birthday just yet.

A lie would bring your value down even further, especially if the girl finds out. I see no problem with it. Don't bring it up unless she does.

I see the logic in your thought, but why is it necessary to have a party or get together (or any celebration, really) for your birthday? Maybe for pinnacle ones, like 21, I can see how you want to get your buddies out drinking, but other than that, it's just another year. I see so many people doing a lot of dumb things because "it's their birthday". It happens every year, guys!

I don't recommend lying, but you also don't need to bring it up, it's not really that important.
 

"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.

Thanks for your advice on dealing with the bday, I guess I won't bring it up, any advice on the Blind Date, should I treat it differently than a normal date?
