"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.

One of my friends hooked me up with it. I wasn't gunna go but I decided to because I'd never been on one before and thought it would be kinda fun. :/

I go meet her and I see her, and this chick is ugly and like 2 stone over weight. I felt like running at that time but she was already walking towards me. And she brought 2 of her friends that just happened to appear after about 15 minutes.

I was bored and didnt even talk to her that much. But then she texts me later on at night telling me she really liked me and she wanted to make sure I didn't want to use her for sex. haha


Has any one else ever been on a blind date thats gone err bad?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

There's nothing worse than friends setting you up on blind dates. More times than not they don't take into account if either of you have anything in common; their only criteria is that the two of you are single. Next time someone suggests that you meet someone blindly, ask for a picture and a bio, it's not like you can send your order back once the date begins.
 

"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.

Gents, everytime a friend is setting you up on a blind date, just know that the girl is always the one who will be getting the better end of it. Either you, the man, will be more attractive, because if she was hot, she'd be getting hit on left and right, or she'll have too much baggage.

Girls will look out for girls, so they won't care if she's not your type, as long as they think their friend will like you.

Guys won't set you up with hotties because, lets face it, guys are big c0ckblocks and they rather wait for their chance to hook up with them, or won't want to set you up with a hotter chick than they are.

Gangster, you hit the nail exactly on the head, blind dates are never a good idea.

Onyx,

Your experience reminds me The Office Christmas Special when David Brent met that woman with the scarf...esp, the reaction upon first seeing the woman...way too perfect.

Damn, they collaborated to set you up. I say it's time for retribution! :box:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Gangster, I can't tell you how right you are. I had my best friend call a woman he knew - on my behalf, because I only met her once - to ask her if I could give her a call. What he did was talk to her to see if he could get anywhere with her, and if he couldn't, then he was going to mention my name as a way to bail himself out. I was pissed. He started sleeping with her... I was even more pissed. The best part was when she started mentioning me to him.

The only guy I knew that didn't block and tried to set me up with a cute friend of his was gay.
