"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.

I've seen older threads on the site, but maybe an update doesn't hurt.
What movie has a great DJ starring in it?

For me, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, What women want, Hitch(without the last half an hour), Alfie (specially the Michael Caine version), Spread, Swingers had characters I could relate to and inspired me in some way.
 

"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.

The Tao of Steve.

Interesting movie that touches on several relevant concepts, can absolutely recommend to anyone on this forum who hasn't seen it.

I’ve always found it strange that screenwriters in general seem to have a deep knowledge of game and how it works, not just in the movie genres you mention, but almost across the board. When you look at the dialogue between characters, a lot of it mimics the principles that we espouse here on SS.

Most of the dialogue they write is for dysfunctional relationships, and I have to say they seem to have an innate understanding of how things work.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hitch was very good for the first hour. Did they take out the writer halfway through?
Seems so. The last half an hour is insultingly bad and unfitting. I don't believe Smith's character in the end.
Even when a DJ falls in love, that's not how it happens.
