"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.

I am fed up with my life and I've had just about enough suffering to explode. I'm sick of stayin home on Fridays. I'm sick of my loser friends. I'm tired of watching opportunies pass me by. Too many times oneinitis has happened to me. Too many times I was too scared. I've had up to my neck with the boring lifestyle I've had so far. This rage has finally broke loose and its time for a new beginning. It's to time actually read the bible instead of just going to the disscusion forum. It's time to actually get off my butt and experiment on my own. It's time to have some fun in my life. Time to change now while I still can. It's finally time to stop procrastinating the boot camp and actually do it. Instead of just sitting at home at night talking to my loser friends online and catching up on the lastest video game its time to change, make my life exciting and fun, and finally be a man!

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

We all hit this at some point... utter frusturation, resulting in finally changing. Good, but dont lose that sight. Don't fall off, keep that attitude. Gotta have some passion to change.

This should and can be a good thing. Instead of beating yourself down look at ways you can improve. It's actually a good thing to get mad at yourself and frustrated. Just remember when that happens usually it's because you need to learn something new. So stay on track and do what you need to do.


Good luck...

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
