"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm in a band; why am I not meeting any girls?

So I've been playing in a college band for a little over 2 months. In that short time, we've already got a ton of bar shows and a frat party under our belts. My other band mates are pretty cool. They're in a frat, got their own house. They meet tonnes and tonnes of girls, and get action after every show, but I haven't yet.

Maybe it's because I'm new. They've been playing on and off for 3 years, and I just recently joined up when their drummer quite. I'm still getting to know them, but besides our practices and our gigs, they're never up for hanging out or to going to parties or introducing me to their circle.

The only girl I've met was at a show 2 weeks ago. We made out after the show. After I had helped my friends load our cars with all our gear, she invited me to her place. When we were there, we made out some more, but instead of going for sex, I decided to play the "cool jerk" and say I should leave, hoping it would make her want me more the next time we saw eachother and got her number.

But I called her twice in the next 4 days and she didn't pick up. I have a rule if a girl doesn't pick up her phone, I delete her number.

The question is, what can I do to break more into my bandmates' circle? Will it just take time playing with them more? And what can I do to meet more girls at my shows?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

What the fvck were you thinking??? She probably went and told all her girlfriends that you're a big pvssy. Dont ever do that again!

Anyways... being in a band does not make chicks throw themselves at you, unless your a bonafide rock star. You still need game. I've been playing in bands since I was 18, and yes, SOMETIMES, crazy shyt will happen, but usually the load-out kills my chances. There is often a limited amount of time to interact with people after you're done playing, due to loading your stuff, and driving back to wherever you put it, to throw any game down.

If you dont have game, being in a band isnt going to help MUCH. It shows high value, and it is great for your confidence, but unless your in Motley Crue, you cant just point at four of them at once, and insta-orgy.

You need to work on your game, and only use your band status, as a bonus. You're a drummer, you're are sort of in the back, anyway. Also remember that when your busy setting up, playing, and loading up, the girls are getting gamed by everyone else, so you need to have even more of an angle.

I've been playing in bands since I was like 19 and you have to really carry the rockstar image with you offstage or at least make them think you act as confident as you do on stage.. Its the rockstar they are attracted to, girls love guys with skills!!!!

I thought it would be a demonstration of higher value to show her I was willing to make her wait a few days. I have gotten 2 girls to put out later by getting them worked up during a make out session then bailing halfway. I thought it would work a 3rd time.

Besides, I was tired, hungover, and my neck and shoulders were killing me from the load up.
 

"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.
