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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

In school I'm one of the more mentally developed kids around and all the girls flock to me for hw help. Somehow everytime it feels like I'm being used like a tool. All the girls I know see me as a walking dictionary. How do I pull myself out of this hole?
Yep. Next time they ask you for something ask something from them as well. Its worked for me. For example ask them to help you with your own things(I mean you do have things to do don’t you?). AND AVOID being to easy to use, once in a while say a No(even if there isn’t any particular reason), that way you come out like a busy person, which you should be anyways. Oh and show your other qualities(that way they see your not just some dictionary, that your more than that), intelligence is a bonus but not the only thing you can have on your side.intelligence is a good thing. being a tool is not. just make sure if you're helping them with something, they're helping you with something
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I tried that once...although I didn't think it through and had nothing to offer (other than the little sl*t going down on me), which her guy friend animated as my "payback from her".Originally posted by Chrisman
