"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What if you stood to lose $100,000 if you failed to pick up a girl at the bar tonight? What if your life depended on you scoring tonight? Do you think you could do it?

It's amazing what people can accomplish when their balls are held up to the fire. The problem is, most people only dig deep and show our potential when failure isn't an option. That's when we show some of the things we're truly capable of.

But we could have done these things all along.....
 

"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 will 100% concur.

When I was most AFC, I would always find a way to rise to the occasion when I went clubbin with my friends who were DJs. I was learning on my own, but when it came to hanging with the fellas - the face you may lose being rejected by a girl is nothing compared to the face you lose by not even approaching - everybody gets rejected, nobody doesn't approach. Other things this reinforced with me were the 3-second rule, 80/20 rule (80% of my play will come from 20% of my approaches), how to be a good wingman, etc.

Yes, you probably could, but this is NOT the mentality to have when dealing with women. Iron will and fanatical persistence will take a man far in most walks of life; but with women, you're just another hungry dog to shoo off the doorstep.
