"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.

why are guys so afraid to ask a girl out?

you make such a big thing out of it. it is not hard at all.

if she isnt calling or texting you back. she isnt interested. look for another one.

if she is busy......do this....if she likes you she will call you....then you ask her out.

text her and say "I've got something really funny to tell you. call me when you get a chance." ( if she likes you she will call or anybody will call to hear something funny. You better think of something funny to say before you text this.) She will call you and then you ask her out.

when you ask her out do this......

Talk for a bit and say.......Hey, (her name) I thought it would be fun to go to...(wherever you ask her to go) say (whatever day you pick) works for me...what about you? then see what days she is free. Then YOU say ok lets go out on (what day that YOU pick)

see.....its not that hard.....so do it.
 

"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.

I'm 40 now. And although the sickness that you talk of is mildly better, it still annoys me. I still get nervous as ****, not quite as bad as I used to be but it's still there. Pathetic things like dialling half their number then stopping.

The answer I've concluded is that it's a mixture of insecurity and egotistical narcissism. The fear of being "laughed at" by the girl and her mates. The fear of her saying no and popping your bubble. The fear that she might make you think you are not in fact the Adonis you thought you were five minutes ago.

It really is stupid and yes definitely IMHO the guys who find it easy are at very much an advantage. It really annoys me in myself, I hate it and I disrespect myself for it. It has to stop.

It's cognitive programming to a certain extent. And the more you practise it the easier it becomes.

Good post, I think you're totally right. Guys who do what I do are being pathetic and so am I. Somewhere inside is a switch that can be flicked to overcome it, but it's a matter of finding it.

That is a very major factor, yes. I'm the same.
