"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.

I met this girl through a friend about a year ago, and we'd only hang out when we were out with our mutual friend, who is really cool. Over time we became decent friends. The thing that frustrates me is that she's really flakey. We all hang out roughly every other weekend, but she flakes out almost as much as she actually comes out.

We all went out last night for drinks, and when our mutual friend left, we got to a bit of flirting. She was pretty fun to hang out with. I had to leave early because I work in the morning, but we made plans to meet up tonight for a free show that was playing in our area.

So fast forward to today, I text her when I'm on my way home from work, and told her since the weather sucks we shouldn't go to the show (it was an outside show). She said that's cool, how about you just come over to my place. I said I could come over a little later because I was still in traffic, and I'd call her. Then she texted me like 90 minutes later saying she was still not feeling well (she said she was really hungover from last night in our initial conversation) and asked for a rain check.

I still haven't responded because I am not sure if this is a sh!t test (why is she giving me one anyway??) or how I should respond. If I get mad I come off insecure and if I say no worries then I am encouraging that behavior. Considering she has a pretty full past of pulling stuff like this, it's not safe to say it won't happen again.

So, how do you deal with this? She's my friend and I don't want to cut off communication with her, but I'm getting frustrated with this type of behavior. I know it's not just me, because she flakes on her best friends all the time as well. She's a fun person to hang out with but she is getting hard to deal with.

Thoughts, on her, and how I respond tonight?

Thanks.
 

"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.

Seriously, no help guys?

When she wrote and said she was feeling sick and wanted a raincheck, I replied, "Maybe..how are you going to make up for bailing on me?"

She just responded, good question, i'm not sure.

Pretty weak response in my opinion...
