Did anybody read no more Mr. nice guy? Is it worth spending 10 hours to read it?
"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

No more Mr. Nice Guy took me like 1 or 2 days to read... and yes it is worth the read just for the stories in the books, you might read about someone like you in there.

I know about it but haven't read as if yet.
Another good one is "The Power of Now"
Still haven't read the whole thing but it's a good one that I recommend checking out.

Yes. NMMNG is a great book and a must-read for any DJ. The Power of Now is way too new age and spacey for me.

I've read The Power Of Now. While few ideas were really worth reading 95% of that book was some utter bullsheet.
"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.

Haha like I said I haven't read the whole thing I kinda skipped around to parts I was interested in.
It is a little too spiritual for me but there are good things on the book as well

I read it years ago. Highly recommend any dude reading this book who just came off a break up where he says to himself "I did EVERYTHING to her, I loved her and did whatever she asked..." Then watched as she started fvcking a dude that treats her like cr@p.
This book not only explain WHY this happens, but will actually give you tools to recover from being a nice guy doormat.

the nice guy has left the building...
no book required...just get your heart stepped on... a bunch of times.
How many times do you need to hit your thumb with a hammer before you realize...'YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG'?
