"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.

I consider myself to be pretty good with girls. Confidence is no issue for me, and recently my fear of approaching chicks has evaporated. Lately, I've met a tonne of women. I've got a list of phone numbers on my bulletin board of good looking girls to call. But for some reason, I still don't get dates. I know the numbers are real- that isn't an issue.

The last couple girls i've phoned to set stuff up with have agreed to meet up with me, and then either don't show up or they flake out on me. Obviously, I next them right away, but do you guys have any good tips for the first phone call to increase their interest?

More info: I have been setting up either coffee dates or inviting them to my place to watch a movie. I'm 18. About half the numbers i get are in clubs. The other half come from whereever (mall, class, gym, etc.).
 

"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.

Welcome to the true world of dating. Yes, it does happen alot. It's during that first meeting when the girl will know if she'll really want to hang out with you or not.

It's easy to get numbers. But you have to build up enough attraction during that first meeting so she'll be looking forward to seeing you again.

Obviously you're right. But in the meantime, I've got all these beutiful girls, and even if I didn't drop perfect game on perfect meeting, I must still be able to salvage it. Regardless of how much they want to hang out with me, there must be better ways to talk on the phone then others. And even if I do really well on the first meeting, it can't hurt to be better on the phone.

inviting them to your place might be a bit much for some girls on the first date....coffee sounds better

You have to spend more time with them during that first meeting. Try to get them to do something with you right away. Like at a club meet them, talk for awhile, try to get them to come grab a bite to eat with you or go to another club, etc. That way they'll be more used to you and when you call up you're not just that stranger that asked for her number, you're the cool guy she hung out with that night.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Thats a good idea. I usually only talk to them for about 5 minutes. I'd still like to salvage some of the current ones (i've got some 10s...)

You should probably not go for the "date" quite yet. especially if you met them at a club, invite them and their friends to meet you and your friends there.

once you are comfortable with each other, and you have good conversation on the phone, then you can try to get a date.

A lot of girls give out their real phone number and still have no interest in seeing you again when you call them. Improve your skills and play the field more.
 

"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.
