"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

My parents have met the girl I like and they don't like her. what do I do? her family likes me, but my family doesn't like her.
 

"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.

They just met her; give it time. She will grow on them.
One day she will do something to earn respect in your parents' eyes. You're overreacting to quickly...

And you're only 16, parental consent with your girlfriend is not crucial. But, nonetheless, give it more time and things will work out.

Do not push it upon your parents. It WILL work out.

It happens. My parents never really liked my ex. Parents have this instinct sometimes about girls. Trust it. Besides, you're only 16, you have many more girls ahead of you, one's bound to be one your parents will like. :)

You know, I've noticed that all the girls I brought home that my parents' did NOT like turned out to be the girls I regret dating in the first place.

They were horrible people. My parents' detected it before I did; give your parents a bit more credit. They do love you, and they do have more experience in everything than you, or even me. So listen to them; but your action is your own decision. But, listen.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

okay. so just give it time? yea. I know I'm only 16 but still, I like her. I don't think I'm going to leave her just because my parents don't like her.

Nothing you can really do. Like previous posters said, parents are usually right about these types of things. But that alone isnt a reason to next her.

I'll go with the analogy of Red Flags. Everyone has a piece of personality that raises a Red Flag. I need not explain what a Red Flag is. When parents don't like her, it's either because:

1. There are multiple flaws within her
2. Your parents are on crack
3. You didn't see the obvisous
4. She did something.

Since it's rarely (if at all) #2, it's 1, 3 or 4. Usually, it'll be 1, followed by 3.

It's something to understand and remember. Definitely not a reason to next her, but you should understand how this works.

Uh, no...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
