"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.

Anybody know any good motivational books?

I have realized recently that my former I can take over the world attitude is gone. It has been replaced with a I don't have what it takes to do anything worth doing attitude. I don't know where it came from really. Ill be finishing college in 2 semesters and I feel bad about my major of business administration, like I made a mistake picking that because it's so broad. Anyway, if you have read anything that has really gotten you going let me know.
 

"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.

Why were you disappointed by your Business Admin program?

It's not the program, I just don't know what I'm going to do right out of college. I don't want to end up as a manager at a grocery store or something.

Did you specialize in anything? Accounting, marketing, resource management...etc. There are no recruiters on your campus hiring? Ask your professors or even the Dean for some guidance or hook ups, they're willing to help. But some times you gotta bug them until you do.

And definitely read KarmaSutra's material. Changed my life.
 

"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.

There are often job fairs and theres a career office or whatever it's called. I have never really checked those out but I will this semester.

I think it's just a mental block thing, that's why Im looking for motivational things.

How good is your school's career services center? My advice, go to them, take an MBTI test, and take some time to figure out what you want to do.

What's your dream job? Initially there must have been something that made you want to study business. Do any of these fields sound interesting:
  • Consulting
  • Investments
  • Finance
  • Accounting
  • Marketing

...because really, you have a valuable degree, assuming of course that you paid attention in class and that this is something that you are interested in.

Can't the motivational books just be listed here? Why does it have to in a private message to only one to see instead for all?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
