"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.

Fear.
Fear of approaching
Fear of failure
Fear is starting to enrapture my life essentially. And no I'm not a shy hermit at school. Quite the contrary, straight A student, great presenter, involved in school, great looks(however I stress looks don't mean squat) however I just can't overcome failure. I want to get out of that perfectionist mindset. I put this here for more of an adult response rather than in the high school forum. This essentially is my last stanza as a DJ and just in completing myself I believe. I will have no further use for this site once I figure this issue out. Suggestions would be much appreciated
 

"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.

You wont be done with yourself. Ever. Theres always room for improvement. Always new stuff to learn.

So you realize you're afraid? Take control, be a man, and fix the problem from the root.

Practice at every opportunity you get in approaches, and learn to accept everything in life. Good and Bad.

Clear your mind. Sometimes you need to close your eyes in order to see.
