If you've been single for a while, what would your office colleagues make off you? When I used to work in an office the chat would invariably be centered around their wives and girlfriends. In computer programming world you get a bit of a pass because half the office is single too. And what are you suppose to do for office parties such as christmas when you are expected to turn up with partner and you don't have one?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"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.

Go out and get one.
Play up the benefits ' hey last weekend I went skeet shooting' or whatever and make sure u r living room hat life. Do the whole Hollywood romance thing. U can't push these things ..when the time is right... BS chicks love that.
And don't ever ask anyone at work to set u up..believe me its safer to cold approach 100 fem Nazis.
And NEVER let them think your a player. Most workplaces r controlled by the sisterhood these days at least in the west..it won't go well for u.

Everything is about spouses and kids.
Avoid eating with them just eat at your desk and realize that their life isn't so rosy ... They have to put up with a lot of crap you have complete freedom
But I agree that if you're single the office will ostracize you

"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.
Yeah u do survive longer in rat race being a beta bytch but it does eat your soul. Start studying/positioning yourself as a software architect/dev lead. People don't put you down when you're a manager.
