"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.

So I had this girl (7 or 8) asking me for a coffee sometimes, a couple of weeks ago. I said sure, but I´ve been busy so I thought I would wait 2 weeks (wich is still a short period of time) or so in order to catch up with college and to be a bit of a challenge.

I went to the club with her and another 1 of her girlfriends two days ago , and she ended up leaving with another dude she knew for some time.

I haven´t put any effort and didnt´create any expectations so I´m 100% cool (and this was just a ons I can still get her), but this leaves me with a question.

David D, Mystery and others, tell you to not show interest too early, because that turns women off. Pook also tells you need patience.... but if you wait there simply could be another dude that takes action before you.
And I also notice that if my frame is not sexual/flirty (eg. showing interest) from the beginning I find very hard (and awkward) to change.

So should we show interest from the beginning or not?
 

"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.

You should always show interest! As you can see for yourself, not showing interest puts you in the friend category.

All right then; but showing interest too early doesn`t make you look desperate and easy?

no.. thats for AFTER you hook up. in the beginning you HAVE to show SEXUAL interest so she knows you want her. it's AFTER that you hook up you ease off and not show so much. you got it the wrong way around pal :)

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
