"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

I thought I'd gotten over AA and all that bullsh*t. After all I approached near 20 girls one night at the mall. But coming back to school, it's still here. Now, when it comes to girls I already know, the interaction is easy. But if I can't find an interesting subject to talk about, I suck at talking to girls I don't know well or at all. Here's the situation, for some reason, the football game was Thursday this week, so it was tonight. Fastforward, I'm in the stands fourth quarter and Amanda is sitting in the same RIGHT below me, close enough a distance I could tap her shoulder and talk to her. But alas, I didn't because I was too afraid she wouldn't be interested in what I had to say. PLUS she was talking with this close guy friend of hers named Jamie. I don't know WHY I just can't get the balls to approach Amanda. I've been rejected several times by women, but for some reason, I'm more afraid of getting rejected by this woman. I know I'm a high value guy and all, but I just can't approach her. I'm getting tired of this, I think tommorow and I'm just going to go "Fvck it", go up to her and her friends and just talk. If she doesn't like me I'll live because there are several other girls who do. I got to stop caring so much about what to say. She either likes my fun personality or she doesn't. Tommorow, I got to get my balls back and approach her no matter the situation.
 

"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.

AA never really goes away 100% - It's just like stage anxiety - Sienfeld still gets it, cris rock, everyone. AA fuels you with energy. One you direct it. it's fine. This is perfectly normal. However, dont let the doubt and fear control the outcome. Accept the AA, and proceed anyway. It's easy.

Also, I wouldnt have approached at that time either. Find the right time and place, and AA will be diminished.

“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.

That's one element of your problem right there. You're consciously defining yourself by what others think of you. Granted, it's hard to fully stop caring even if you TRY to ignore others' opinions, but YOU sir are not even trying to stop caring.


That said, I'm no expert at approaching myself. I get anxiety a lot of the time -- and not just about approaching girls -- often for totally random and nonsensical reasons. (eg: some phone calls, sometimes talking in class, just talking to strangers or even my own friends at times) I think it's a psychological problem I'll never fully cure. But you definitely can't cure approach anxiety just by approaching one string of girls. You need to make approaching a HABIT.

As do I.

cause you're scared and insecure of what people might think of you.

You just gotta not care. And do it. If you know her she probally won't care.
