How many of you actually play out and practice a lot?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

I play the guitar for like one hour a day... I love playing Coldplay songs, and now, I know all the Coldplay songs' guitar solos. They're not so hard, though, but as I love Coldplay's music, i like playing their songs. The solos in Shiver, Moses, Talk and Got Put A Smile Upon Your Face are maybe the hardest ones to play, but I play them all, without any problems.
I also know a couple of Guns'n Roses solos, like the solos in Estranged and of course Sweet Child Of Mine. And there's a lot of Queen songs in which there are cool solos to play. The solo in Let Me Live (from the Made In Heaven album) for example, is a really nice one to play.
Master freestyle's and you're in.
I write a lot of my own music, and i've come across a lot of really basic chord progressions (C Am F G for example) that are really easy to just throw words into. I'll start off with some little intro i've written then go into simple stuff like that but sing about the girl who's right in front of me...it takes some wit and quick thinking, but if you can recall some facts about her and throw them in the song, even if it's a little off, just make it rhyme and she'll love it.
I'd say at least original tunes is the best....everyone plays other people's music and at least around here, everyone knows the crappy songs that everyone always plays....so the only way to get anywhere is to be original.

I'm just picking up guitar, a couple of my friends can totally rock out and inspired me to finnally pick it up. I can play a lot of Nirvana stuff and am trying to learn a few kick ass solos. Learn guitar because you want to, else finding the motivation is going to be hard.
Edit: I can play the theme to Super Mario, while its not quite sexy it is pretty cool.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Exactly. There have been way too many suggestions that have been metal and hard rock songs, and while girls will definitely see you as talented if you play those songs for them, they won't adore you like they will if you play a softer, more romantic song. Go with acoustic.
Void and Dimebag had the best suggestions so far.
Here's the best IMO (a few have already been mentioned):
Wonderwall- Oasis
Taylor- Jack Johnson
Bubbletoes- Jack Johnson (pretty much any Jack is good)
Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton
Blackbird- The Beatles
Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
pretty much any John Mayer
and the best one: Crash- Dave Matthews Band. Girls will melt when they here you play that song, and it's not that difficult.

I play an Agile AL-2800 Les Paul through a Peavey XXX head and cab or a Roland Cube.
The bands you mention use humbucker pickups, they do make humbuckers that fit into a single coil slot though, not sure the exact make but Seymour Duncan makes them.
