Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
True. But in my experience there is something about 5 year periods that fvck with chicks minds. 25, 30, 35, 40 ..... they go through paradigm shifts whenever they hit these marks. If you have a chick that's been a 'good' girl in a monogamous relationship, then she hits 25... she becomes a sex freak.... and vis a vis, There really is no way to predict how a chick is going to change, unless you know what she was like before.
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.
Picture it this way, my relationship(s) is pretty much the same as the conventional one, with less drama and more freedom. In the end, a realistic 2017-evolved relationship.
