"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

My results are up and down. Sometimes this stuff comes okay to me, and other times it's as if I have no idea of what I'm doing.

This past weekend I'm at a bar with some friends, enjoying myself, and a good looking girl hits eye contact with me. We hold for a couple of seconds, I think we break at the same time or I break first (doh!) - I know she is looking back a couple times throughout the night, and yet I can't find my balls to walk the length of the room to introduce myself.

Help me guys, I'd like to hear from someone who has found themselves in a situation like this and learned how to get over the fear/anxiety/whatever was holding them back.

This seems easier if I'm all jumpy and jovial, but so much harder if I'm relaxed and just lounging with friends...
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Guess you do not want to get laid bad enough.. You can lead a horse to water but can not make it drink.. In times like this goto the rest room look yourself in the mirror and pump yourself up. Say "I can do this, she wants me" etc....

Yes, Great reference post realsmoothie

wanderlust420, you should always try to live by the 3 second rule
which simply states that you should approach a girl within 3 seconds.

The 3 second rule is setup to make you approach without worrying about the outcome.

You are worried about rejection.
