"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.

Going out by yourself

"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.

When I need a break from my usual drinking crowd, I go out by myself. It forces me to be more outgoing and social. Just go to a bar you have been in before and just have fun.

It's a bit of a challenge to go by yourself to a bar.

People (read: women) may think that you're an alcoholic, serial killer/rapist, boring, or sideline masturbator.

On the other hand, if you're wearing a sharp tux and your name is Bond, James Bond then you probably got a shot (no pun intended).

I personally don't like going to places like that alone. It's always more fun with friends. I would say go for it if you really don't want to sit at home all night.

If you are new to town you have a valid excuse. I have one at least for a while.

But after a few months if I have no wingman I don't know.

I can tell you one thing, I've picked up a few times on my own and scored that night. Kind of nice to not have to worry about being ****blocked.
 

"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.
