"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Well I will start off that I am 16, and a sophomore in high school. It's not that girls don't want to talk to me, they just say I am really quiet. I get reallllly shy for some reason around girls I am intimidated by. I know a girl that really wants to hang around with me at lunch, but I don't want to say yeah yet because I start stuttering sometimes or I just stay very quiet. How can I get over this? I get lots of looks, but I am too shy to go up to a girl and talk to her if I don't have a reason too.




TY!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I would also like to mention that I think it's just I am afraid of saying something stupid, I am not shaky or anything around them

Yeah, it's natural around girls you are really attracted to. Just push yourself to talk man. The first few times you'll probably say dumb **** and knock ureself over the head for it but don't let it get you down. Just keep it up and you'll be cool and calm with these brids in no time!

Take it from me, a person who had social anxiety meaning I had you're reaction in situations with not only girls but with everyone, it'll get better.

That's exactly how it is. Once you first start talking and try to be more outgoing you'll probably fumble your words and say something stupid. But the more you do it, the better you get at it. Practice makes perfect.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This is exactly the case.
Practice.
Go to the mall and start coversations with the female employees there. they are paid to be nice to you. then talk to random shoppers, whether they be male, female, young, old, etc. Then start talkin to HBs. Practice.
