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.
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.
This is absolutely genius! She's doing a power move on you, and you're turning it around 180°, saying she was proving herself to youLeashed said:I'd say 'I totally appreciate that, it's kind of a litmus test for me to find out what kinda girl you actually are, and you've passed that test'.
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.

This is in the perspective of what are you LOOKING FOR? LTR or a ONS/Hump&Dump??
Depending on what you are looking for, this could be a huge POSTIVE or NEGATIVE.
My previous French partner of over 1 year, it took a many weeks before we got down to business. But those of you who knows I preach LTR, I don't escalate physically until the woman I am with proves to me that she is worth my emotional and physical investment (read Anti-Dump's Machine, but this was before I even knew his postings existed).
My strategy works for high quality women and with LTR strategy in mind. Making the woman wait for it drives them insane, and when it is time to harvest the ripen fruit, there is zero b!tch shield left.
However, if are a horn dog and just want a HO - well, this woman you are with is probably NOT one. You have an uphill battle ahead of you.
If you are a decent man - let her go and don't screw with her emotionality (then another guy like us here have to deal with your aftermath). There's plenty of HOs out there that will give you the balls deep experience on the 1st or 2nd date (from what I read, I wouldn't know personally).
Treat women fairly and they will respect you back (most of the time, anyways LOL....). I personally hate to collect karma - don't use people or lead them on (aka 'Player') if you don't need to.
Be well.

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.
