"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

have any of you guys read David DeAngelo's - Double Your Dating ebook? or studied or have knowledge of any NLP exercises?

in Double Your Dating, there's a section on self-help called 'Internal States'. it's basically an exercise which you can use to revert your mind to a time when you felt confident, dominant, energetic, or whatever.

does anyone have success doing/using this technique? would you be able to elaborate more on how to use it, or maybe even help me out?

thanks, ANY knowledge about internal states will be useful.

In the C-A-N-A-D-A-Eh!
Look into Anthony Robbins, either at your local library or bookstore, or if you were so inclined... your local filesharing solution.

That is the guys main focus.

I've been studying NLP casually for around 5 years and it is very effective. It has helped me develop a deeper understanding of people and the way they think, has helped me improve my state of mind, my success in life and my relationships with people too.

Some of the material by Bandler and Grinder (the originators) gets a bit technical and complicated, but as previously suggested, you can't go wrong with Anthony Robbins. He is fantastic and his style is very easy to follow.

I'm very sceptical about Ross Jeffries' seduction methods, but he too is excellent in terms of teaching NLP, confidence and internal states.

I have managed to do this without eBooks but just personal thought. Basically you need to think back to a time, a party, a class, a job interview, talk to the cashier as you rent a movie or buy groceries.. Just find some memory in your mind where you were completely confident and comfortable with yourself and where you were. That is the feeling you want to imitate. Now you have to figure out why you were feeling that way at that certain time. Maybe you just got laid, earned a big pay check, bought a new car, got a hot girl's # who you KNOW really wants you. Now lets break it down.. something simple from your HS days.. Let's say that you just found out that a girl you had a crush on likes you. You feel uplifted, on top of the world, no one can touch you because you are so high up in the clouds. Why were you feeling like this? Because you have social proof for yourself that you were something great to someone else. Now you have to change direction. You were feeling great because of how someone else made you feel, now what you must do is make yourself feel great. You MUST be ready and wanting to make yourself a more confident and comfortable person. You have to do meditation.. not sitting there with your legs crossed in a park humming, but on your lunch break or driving down the road you must figure out why you don't feel confident and secure with yourself.. once you do this you will be half-way done. It could be caused by undo stress in your life, maybe you havn't had great luck with girls lately, maybe you had bad luck with one girl or several. What you're going to have to realize is that you have to be a MAN.. yes that's right a testosterone driven MAN with big b*lls. (Read Pook's entry in the Bible title "The Secret of the Jerk" to go further into this) By being a MAN i mean that you have to KNOW that everyone has insecurities.. EVERYONE.. and everyone is just human.. Some girls will think your attractive and want you, others will not. There will be other guys that might not like you, ****block you, or try and pick a fight with you.. but wait the girls that ignore you aren't meant for you because you arent each others type, the guys who might be negative to you in whatever way are most likely jealous and have to do what they do to make themselves feel more powerful, but they are hiding their true internal states with fake confidence. You are a Master of Your Domain.. There will always be girls who dont like you, but there are even more girls that do. Next time you're out keep an eye out for gorgeous girls with guys who you think would be rated lower then you on a scale from 1-10, and think to yourself, I think I dress and look better than him, he11 I KNOW this -- I just have to find the girls who agree with me.

So what you have done is realized that you need & want a better Inner State.

You have determined why you are in your current state.

You have thought back to a time when you were in a state that you wish you were in all the time.

You figured out why you were feeling so great.

Then you realized that you can make yourself feel that way on a daily basis just by knowing that you are who you are and damn proud of it.

You also realized that other people wont agree with you, and that is there problem because you don't have to deal with them if you dont want to and it is THEIR LOSS.

So now you have begun the transformation process by addressing the problem, figuring out why the problem was there, and finally figuring out that you can control this problem by eliminating it from your mind.

I know i might have rambled a little bit but I hope that I've helped.
 

"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.
