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.
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.
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.
Man, you are just about the coolest dude in the world. Pure honesty and pure sexuality, and you get em all.Nino-Tk said:Well sometime last week she told me that she'd be cool with dating but only if I left all my girls, I refused. She walked away. Today, however, she told me that she was going to go ahead and just date but her friends refused profusely because they have seen hanging out with a girl too often so to her it just added fuel to me being a player. So she asked me straight up today if I had a Gf, I admitted to having several and then she kept quiet, after a while, she told me that we should be FWB, it seems good to me but I don't know gents, I think shes got feelings for real...anyway, I told her that I will be spending breaktime with her tomorrow,I'll see what will go down.
The problem is, women are emotional creatures. When they get with a guy, they have emotions about it, and if he's with other girls, they feel jealousy and other painful emotions.beacause it is not like I LIE to these women, I tell them the truth...then again..ah fvck it, someone shed light please.
Thats GENIUS. Dude youre awesome. You always have a new close to share.Nino-Tk said:So then I thought of Tshpenova's " On Da Spot" theory where he will always try to have sex with a women anywhere, anytime so that even when he doesn't lay her, the girl can look forward to experiencing it, because of the brash sexuality! So we are now hot and I pull her skirt up and squeezed those thighs, She told me to slow down " No, not here" But I'm a Dj, its not what they say, its how they act and she sure as hell wasn't moving it away, so then I just brushed up on her Gina, God, I swear I witnessed a sexual beast! But like a Sweet dream being abrubtly interrupted, we heard the hooter of of our buses, we had to go. I was hot, so was she.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Man you should come to the townships, where I reside, there are alot of guys who are not in Universities bra, I don't think having bad marks will get one into University just because that someone is black. And yeah you are right, its not that hard but I can get obsessive quite easily, so this time around I wnat it to be my school work, I'll try and strike the right balance though.DanZy said:Dude I don't mean to be rude or cause offense, but you're black and in this country that means near-guaranteed university entrance. ****, as a white guy I have the toughest time getting in, especially with the course I want to take. Balancing girls and grades isn't easy but it's not hard either.

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.
Bra, now that I think about it, yeah I shouldn't have agreed , I should've thought of that line! Oh well I guess we never stop learning about the game huh? Nice one though thanksLearningSlowly said:You're right that you need to focus yourself on school. Your future is important. You know how to get girls, make sure you take that skill to the university level.
But as far as telling this girl you would be an exclusive... Wrong move. Maybe you could have said "I'll be your boyfriend for today, and we'll see how it goes. Come on, lets go this way." then started walking and looking for a private location where you could have sex.
I wouldn't have thought of it either, but next time a girl wants you to be committed, and I'm sure someone will, you might remember it.
Yea bro I spent last week in Alex, ****s depressing. I know guys who've come from absolute poverty and made something of their lives from sheer hard work. The government has failed our nation completely, it's appalling. Without COSATU, we'd have a single party state, they're the only ones who have any pull with the ANC.

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.
