The Mad Ghost
Senior Don Juan
Anything...
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

OK...why did Michael Jackson hang out with that little kid from alone?The Mad Ghost said:Anything...
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I'll tell you this much....Alex DeLarge said:Okay TheMadGhost, I've been having a problem lately..
A few women have been complimenting me on my looks, they've said I'm very handsome and good looking, but when I call them to schedule a date, most of them flake. Even though they find me attractive.
I'm thinking that maybe they lack confidence? Maybe my game is shot.. I'm not too sure. Most of the time, if I ask a girl out it's through text (I'm 22 years old.. Chicks NEVER pick up the phone anymore even when I try calling and most prefer text that I talk to) here's how a usual conversation goes..
Me: Hey ___ it was great seeing (or) meeting you the other night! (Then usually I throw in a little joke here like a witty remark I made to her or something funny she did that I thought was cute but rag on her a bit like an older brother).
HB: Hey ___! Yeah it really was. (Usually she says something here about the previous encounter or date too)
Me: Great! well later this week I'm going down to ____ to do ____ (typically action date, or grabbing drinks.. Something low key) You should tag along and we'll get ourselves into some shenanigans!
HB: Okay! Sounds good!
Now usually this chat takes place about 2-4 days before the meet up, but I don't typically chat with them in that time period. Then the day comes around and they flake or just never respond. This is a girl who had complimented me on my physical appearance before hand as well..
Now I'm thinking...
-Maybe I should communicate more and build rapport for the meet up?
-Maybe they're just bored and want to flirt with a guy for the evening?
-Maybe they're just too nervous? (If I knew this, I would try and make them feel more comfortable, but if it's not that.. I could be easily interpreted as creepy and needy which I'm not)
-Maybe I should make my appearance less intimidating? (Usually I wear a leather jacket biker style, band tee shirts, and engineer boots.)
I have no problem getting numbers.. I've got about 5 phone numbers since Dec 23rd and it's the 28th today. Only 2 of them seem somewhat interested in meeting up, but one of them seems sort of low-quality.
Any suggestions?
CURE IS THIS... YOU HAVE TO HAVE KILLER ATTRACTION AND COMFORT THE NIGHT YOU MEET THEMSamTheHobit said:What's your veiw on number flakes and is there a way to minimise flakes?
Seems alot of people are having trouble with this.
It depends on what type of flake that is?SamTheHobit said:What's your veiw on number flakes and is there a way to minimise flakes?

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.
