"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yea seein as I got no dates fo vday cuz of laziness to approach n spendin my times online gettin at girls. I will b doin a direct approach journal from today thru next vday of 2009.

I will use direct approaches, will ask fo da number all da time/ sometimes I want even ask n try to esclate the same day wit her.


Lines that I will b usin.

Let me ask u a ?. She will say yea. N I will ask her if she is single.

Another one I will use is, how u doin. N another one will b I like u n want to get to know u better


So advice would b appreciated n this journal will b fun n a great learning experience
 

"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.

I've noticed this thread has not been updated. I'm making a similar commitment to direct approaches right now until March 3rd, in venues such as the church and perhaps the mall the same way you are doing.

By the end of next week, either you will put me to shame, or I will put you to shame on these approaches.
 

"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.

Yea im bac, so lil update. 2nights ago i came form playin playin basketball bout to go to mcdonalds wit my boys. This girl that worked on the counter looked good so i ordered my food. It was gonna close in a few mins so we jus ate their. Wasnt that many ppl there so she let some1 take her spot while she clean da garbage n stuff like that. I tell my boy dat im goin to talk to her den i get up n walk towards her.

Me: Let met ask u a ?

her: jus looks

me: Are u single?

her: no

Then i was thinkin of jus walkin bac but i manage to say are u guys hiring. She says yea n fo me to go up there n get an application. So i refill my drink then was thinkin if i should get it or not. I go up in line again n ask da guy fo one. WHile doin that i turn aroun n see that she is lookin at me. So im guessin she was thinkin if i was really gonna ask them fo da application or sumthin. Then when i walk bac i say goodnite to her n she says bye.



Im thinkin if i should use the default line Let me ask u a ?, then say are u single? Im plannin on tryin that for at least 10-20 times this week n if it doesnt go well then I will try anotha opener like how u doin n so on. I also have to smile when i go up to a girl. I will b doin daytime approaches this week to see wat happens

Hey budddy, i would try true direct. Are you single isn't the best question. Why? because most girls will say they aren't single, eventho a good portion are. I believe its a pride thing with them if they say they don't got a BF, they'll think their not as attractive compared to if they did.

How are you doing? Is great...but with that one...eventually tell them they're cute IMO.

But about true direct, i would do the "Your cute/gorgeous/stunning...i want to meet you/get to know you/talk to you" openings. Those are best for direct. If u doubt me, why not see for urself the reactions u get? :)

Yea im back wit the approaches. Just got this new job as a doorman,not bad actually but I might be doin sum porter stuff also...

Newayz was walkin home today from work, saw this girl at the corner. She was like a 7.

So I said to her.

YoungSir: wit a smile wats ur name

Her: said her name

So we both cross the street n I say..

YoungSir: Do u live around here

Her: No

YoungSir: iight, silent fo a few seconds then I say so wats ur number.

Her: I don't give out my number

Youngsir: O really, I bet u b on myspace 24/7 don't u

Her: she laughed alil n said no but I be on it

YoungSir: u got an aim,or yahoo.

Her: no jus msn

YoungSir: so I asked for her myspace name

Her: gave it to me

YoungSir: so where u headin to. She says work den I ask her where she lives she tells me then says she has to make da turn for her job. Then she says hit me up


Overall I think I did kinda weak but I was mad tired from work n I winged everything on da spot. B4 I said wats ur name I wasn't even gonna talk to her then I had this thought in my head like if I don't say something im gonna b mad at myself later on for not trying so I talked.

O n I messaged her lata on, jus got her message on myspace few mins ago. She says dat she's not interested in like relationships jus as friends.... so wat do I do wit dat? Let dat go or keep trying?


Also wat should I do next time after saying wats ur name. I have to put in some kino n other stuff next time I kno that. Im guessing I didn't put that much for attraction level which is y im prolly getting put in the friend zone n she didn't want me to get her number lol

WAZZUP PLAYA??!
Yea you're doing good there man. Thats what a cold approach consists of. Just keep doing it for the sake of practice. If they don't wanna give you their #'s screw it because its not about that, its about practicing for that moment when you see that hottie that nobody else but you dares to approach.
Keep up the good work.
 

"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.

Don't actually go by while she's working, that's weird.

I think you asked too many questions and didn't display much of your personality in that one. You got a big plus for having balls to approach, but the interaction lack a little.

In direct approaches like yours, you really have to put a little charm, a little charisma on to make it work. I have no idea how your body language and non verbal signals were so feel free to discard all of this if you think you had it right, because charm and charisma is pretty much all non-verbal communicators.

If I were you, I'd give yourself a pat on the back for the approach, know that if you ever see this girl out you can say hi, and leave it at that. I wouldn't "drop by to say hi" at her work.

Just my 2 cents.

Yea you are right thx for your advice. I need to show more charisma and charm. THo i do think i have alot of both, i just have to demostrate it more. I rather do direct approaches though so i will continue to do this until i master it. Sometimes i do feel the AA Anxiety n cant go up to a set or more then 3 girls at time becuase i feel that one of them will laugh if i try to talk to one of them.

Also i have to stop thinking wat others around me think about me when i do approaches. Like in the trains or anywehre where ppl will notice if i get rejected or not. It takes time n im willing to stick wit it no matter wat
 

"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.

Yup ill b gettin my 100 approaches b4 the end of the month. From oct 21st to oc31st I will at least talk and approach 100 girls.

From nov 1st thru nov 30. At least talk to 200 girls.

From dec 1st thru dec 31st I will at least talk to 300 girls.

So b4 this year is over I will at least approach 600 girls(this is not including the ones I've talked to b4 today of course)

I firgue I mind as well just start approaching more n get better. ILve seen a few ppl levels and how good they are at this and I want to become better.

I want to be at the point where ppl can feel my aura n presence in a positive way. To talk to any kind of girl anytime I want. So its time to take control n go through the ups n downs. Im ready so instead of talking a lot more ill just get it done through action n will post tom with the frs from lata today. Remember even if I get rejected 10 times today at least I will be getting experience. And have fun at the same time cuz I want to master this
