"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Girl at work (not as lame as it sounds, I promise you)

Hey guys. I haven't been around in a little while, and I've been doing all right, but I need some outside input on a situation at work (McDonald's).
It's a pretty standard HB showing high interest, and I've been wanting to ask her out, but I don't want to **** up my work situation.

Here's the thing: She put in her two week's notice recently (nothing to do w/ me). My idea was that I could have my cake and eat it too, by just flirting w/ her and keeping it light for two weeks, then go for her a little while after she quits. That said, I don't want to spin my wheels for too long and have her lose interest. Thoughts?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

two weeks notice? thats good for you. what I would suggest is go out and buy a movie or something and ask her the next time you see her if she would like to go to your house and watch it. invite her to go hang out. the way you need to think is if you end up f*cking up most likely you wont see her agin plus she has two more weeks at mcdonalds. try it, cause im pretty sure you wont see her again after she doesnt work there anymore. good luck I hope you get her. now next time I go to mcdonalds get me some free stuff...j/k.

You broke your promise.

My vote goes to: just ask her.
 

"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.

Spade---Ouch! But yeah, you're right.

Anyway, I went for it, didn't work, and after next week I don't have to see her again, so whatever. But as always, thanks for galvanizing me into action, 'twas much appreciated.

Hey, atleast you gave it a shot and don't have to wonder about the whole "what-if" thing. Even better is you probally won't see her much so no akwardness and in a few weeks prolly won't remember her.

So.....just out of curiosity what did happen?

As most of the people say, just do it. You got no reason to wait, nor there is ever any reason to wait, you see a women you want, you take her,thats how it is.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Not much...I waited until she was alone, and we weren't overly stressed, and asked her if she wanted to hang out sometime...she responded by saying she already had to hang out with 20 people this summer---a really bad blowoff, if I've ever seen one. So I spun the conversation quickly into fluff talk, and ended with a moderate amount of dignity. She's still pretty friendly, but maybe just more flirty than really interested.
