You know online tests prove nothing right?
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.

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Thanks for the support dude, but it just seems that nothings changing, even though I have a better attitude about myself, things pretty much seem like they've always been, but I'm going to change that, tommorow, I'm going to approach a random girl. But before I do that, my voice is silly as f*ck, heh, we had this movie project in class were we had to film and when my part came up, I heard how silly I sound when people hear me, my words were all slurred, the voice tone was goofy and now I understand how silly my voice sounds when I talk to other people. Before I saw myself on film, I always thought that people had heard my voice, like I heard my own voice, but yeah, heh, now I can see why people have always been calling my voice silly for all these years and if I'm going to be a Don Juan, I'm going to have to change that. I read Senor Fingers page on this, but I'm still a little confused on the whole diaphragm thing.Originally posted by KaminoSS
Viper if you get your sh1t together, you will be a HERO to every AFC on this board. Dont give up, for the rest of us.
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.
Chapstick...various types of lip balmOriginally posted by Viper
Thanks again for the support dude, but I want to know something, how do you heal chapped lips? I have chapped lips and girls obviously don't want to make out with a guy who has chapped lips, putting girls aside, I just want to know.
Well working on your looks is a good thing but dont use your appearence as an excuse for not getting girls.Originally posted by Viper

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Haha, you think my appearence was bad now, heh, you should of seen me at the beggining of 9th Grade, I dressed like a bum, only took showers for a week, always smelled, even though I wore deoderent daily, lucky these dudes inspired me to change that. But then as time went on, the dude that changed me, really started to p*ss me off, because he started talking sh*t and stuff, luckily he moved earlier this year. I've got some vaseline laying around and I'll definitely try using it on my lips tommorow. Also, I read something in the DJ Bible about chicks already having their thoughts about you, set, even before you approach her and I've had some pretty bad first impressions in the past and I was wondering, if a chick has a bad(Even if it is totally bogus), impression of you, how do you make her feel more comfortable? Thanks. I know it says not to write down your problems, but this is something I need to know.Originally posted by Taviii

Nothing, but I don't have anything to gain either, I'm afraid that if I go up to a girl who has a bad impression of me(And who can blame me, I use to be a real weirdo), that lowers my chances of getting her. The fact that my gaming skills aren't too good either, doesn't help that, a typical approach for me doesn't get much further than this:Originally posted by rowing_mike
Try it, what do you lose? Confidence and a smile has made girls who used to hate me go out of thair way to see me every morning, and I havent even tried to (or wanted to) go near them.
After that it usually doesn't get much further, because I just can't think of anything else to say.Me: Hey, how's it going?
Girl: Good, how about you?
Me: It's going pretty good.
Me: So, what's your name?
Girl: <Name>
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.

WHOSE WORLD IS THIS?
I used to worry endlessly what people thought of me. If I felt someone didn't like me or approve of my actions, it would eat me up inside and I would go out of my way to please them and prove how cool I was. What a waste! I could have written 100 songs or built 20 houses with the time and energy I wasted trying to please others. Let me put it this way. One of the most powerful tools you have as a human being is your attention. Focus it on others and watch how their every move takes on heightened importance. Focus it on what you DO and watch your own life take on a new meaning. It's all how you look at things. When you encounter a new person, are you entering Their World, or are they entering Your World? Next time you meet someone, hot babe or not, realize that they are entering Your World and you are sharing YOUR experience with them. In fact, consider it your gift to them! They are indeed fortunate to meet you because you are rare, my friend! How many AFC's do you know are content to complain about their problems with women instead of doing something about it? The fact that you are reading this right now shows that you are one step ahead of the whining masses. Give yourself some credit, man! But hey, don't get too complacent there. A pat on the back is great once in a while but the road to improvement has no end. Look at all the people who made a difference throughout history. Christ, Martin Luther King, Einstein, Edison, Picasso. They never reached a point where they were like, "alrighty then, I have accomplished alot of things, I guess my work is done here!" You can also bet that, although they were all accused of insanity or heresy, they couldn't give a wad of horse $hit what anyone thought of them. Which brings up another valuable point. You must stand up for yourself! Even if it means you have to be a pri¢k, never let anyone disrespect or take advantage of you. If someone, cute girl or not, flakes on you or fu¢ks you over somehow, don't put up with it! Either ignore them completely or confront them! If they pout and bit¢h, well then tough titties man, banish them from your world and stop caring if they like you or not. Whatever it takes, don't ever give your personal power away to the weight of what other's think of you. It is a trap almost as diabolical and magnetic as...
with a quote from the beforementioned audio series: "If we try to make things in happen too fast, it'll create a crisis of stress in our lives. What we need to do is just relax and expect that whatever we want in our lives comes to us when we are ready for it."Thanks for the support dude, but it just seems that nothings changing, even though I have a better attitude about myself, things pretty much seem like they've always been
