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.
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Tell her, "Do what you want."
And if she goes, don't ever speak to her again. No calls, no meetings, don't answer your phone, nothing.
If you HAD her interest locked down, she wouldn't even CONSIDER going out with this guy...she'd be so worried about what you'd think that she wouldn't even ASK you.
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.
Sometimes the b/f at home has even made her PROMISE she won't do anything naughty ...Originally posted by biker_gixxer
I have been out with a lot of girls with boyfriends waiting at home and I'm sure the guy "knew for a fact" that she wasn't going to give me oral then kiss him on the mouth when she got home.
Amen brotha...
this is actually the best advice thus far.Originally posted by squirrels

Or f**k...if you think you can handle it, keep her around but go see other girls on the side. Work her for as long as you're getting some and then when she's done, just move on to one of the others. She deserves no better.

HOW ISNT IT?Originally posted by WORKEROUTER
Totally dumping her isn't the best idea
another great post.Originally posted by TillTheEndOfTime
Wake up man! Why is she going out on a date with another man!!? Her interest level in you must be dirt low!
Consider this running through her head:
"If this date doesn't work out then I always have aequitas waiting at home for me to keep me company."
You're a backup. A fallback guy. As someone else already mentioned, GET OUT! Staying in this crap would only make you a sucker. This relationship is doomed. Save yourself.
peace
