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.
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.
that's the second component of AA, the first one being the fear of rejection (and ridicule) from the girl. I think this one takes even longer to get over, as most humans have an innate fear of ridicule when in a social setting.Fly By Night said:The fact is that my AA isn't actually being afraid of talking to the girl, but of what the other 2 people might be like if I approached her. I guess I am scared of being ridiculed if I fail.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
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.
Yep, pretty much true 90% of the time. I have had a lass in my bed where we were about to get down to it and she stopped at the last second and said she doesn't want to be used and wants a boyfriend. We never had sex and it's safe to say I've never seen her since.Greasy Pig said:The best advice I ever received was from an older mate of mine.
After me complaining again about getting a girl into bed and not fvcking her (too much of a nice guy to make a move), he said: "If a girl is at your home, she is there for a reason, so you MUST make a move on her. If a girl is in your bed, she wants to fvck. There is no other reason she is there and you have every right to get your hands on her."
From that day onwards, I can honestly say I've never chickened out in those circumstances again. This dude was spot on.
If she comes to your nest, she is fully expecting you to make a move. So just do it.
if ever you are in that situation again, appease her, its common to have this kind of last minute resistance (LMR), you kiss a bit, take it slow, reassure her that she isnt a $lut, tell her ..."this is just between us two and the world can go to hell" then go for it againMM92 said:Yep, pretty much true 90% of the time.

Maybe I should have agreed to be her boyfriend until after the deed but at the time I was too "nice".

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
