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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Don't worry about full approaches, maybe you should try to numb your aa/bb by first doing suicide approaches. My favorite is: "Hey, I'm into you, and I'm hard", or you could say: "Hey babe, wana party?", another good one is: wave your hand in front of your face really fast and say "Hey, you can't see me!".Mindgamez said:Man I can't wait till the bootcamp starts.
This Friday I have a day off and no school, so I'm going practising approaches. Can you guys propose me a good challenge? Note that at my level, I still have troubles opening the girl since I have anxiety all the time. I have trouble approaching instantly as I see the girl and I end up thinking too much. It works, but I never do it after 3 seconds, but I do my approach after thinking at least for 5-10 minutes, or more...
What should I practice saying that is not too easy but not too hard? It has to be something else than asking for what time it is, but I'm not feeling confident enough to ask for sex.
Thanks guys!
Every person is different, but I love the "so dumb it's funny" approach. I go around pointing to people and saying to other people "This is X" or pointing to myself and saying "This is Amo". I originally started doing this so I'd remember people's names better (I'm horrible with names), but it turns out it's a really good opener.Mindgamez said:Man I can't wait till the bootcamp starts.

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.

I plan on trying "Do you think I'm hot?" next chance I get.
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.
Lets hope you get that far.The Libertine said:I'm in. I hope you will give me a good challenge NDJ.
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.
Baby steps today, strides tomorrow.Mindgamez said:even if they are baby steps.
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.
