That's true it was before I let all these concepts sink in.

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.

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.
Do you watch Monty Python? Plenty of materials on accountants you can use.My Name is Nobody said:Ahh, that makes sense. Now how can I neg her about getting that degree, LOL?
No I haven't can you post a few examples?Jitterbug said:Do you watch Monty Python? Plenty of materials on accountants you can use.
Just tell her you didn't go to school and tell her the interesting things u did instead. Its deffo not a dealbreaker....if she likes you, this won't make her not sleep with you, and if she didn't, and you told her all the wonderful qualifications you have (if you had them), it wouldn't make her wanna sleep with you anyway.My Name is Nobody said:I understand that it's a good point, but when the subject of school comes up I'm trying to figure out what to say and how a DJ would handle that situation.
She sounds smart and rich BTW. She has a graduate degree and a CPA and owns a nice house. What the hell is a CPA?
I can pull off making her think I make alot of money. I have my own place and a decent car and a decent job and I bought a new wardrobe with some nice clothes. So I'll just go with it but I would still love to hear how a DJ would react when the subject of shooling comes up. I have a couple years of college (community) done and I want to go back I'm lazy.
I don't think honesty is the best approach here.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
We'll see how it goes, I don't want to offend her. I don't even know her! Something like that could go either way.Jitterbug said:It's the first date, but still a date, so I can't see why you can't say that. Hell I say the same things to non-dates. It's called flirting.![]()
If she's offended by such light-hearted stuff, you turn around and RUN. That's a sign of an uptight militant feminazi.My Name is Nobody said:We'll see how it goes, I don't want to offend her. I don't even know her! Something like that could go either way.
WHATEVER missy, I have my own place. Wanna come over?iqqi said:*You're the kind of girl I could take home to mother - which is good, since I still live with her.
:yes:
The ones in orange would be best for you specifically.
If she asks what institution/school you have been to, just say 'life'. She will have a perplexed/My Name is Nobody said:What do you do when you have a date with a smart woman with all sorts of College degrees? And what if you have NO degree?
School is bound to come up and what am I supposed to say I partied and never got into a good college?
I consider myself pretty smart, but school just isn't my thing. And I am fairly successful in life but have no degrees to show for it.
So how do you handle this situation in a smooth way without sounding like a loser?
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.
Also, a discussion about past education will help build attraction how? Isn't there possibly one or maybe two other things to talk about?VashStampede said:Everyone of atleast average intelligence already knows that marks in school or univeristy etc do not represent how smart a person is. Only dilluded parents believe that ****
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.
