"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.

Ok so a girl that I'm friends with basically just pronounced her love for me. SH!T. :eek: I don't know how to deal with that. I like her as a friend but nothing else. I don't know what to say back to let her know that it's not reciprocal but that I still think she's a cool friend.

I usually don't come to this board for stuff like this anymore but I can't deal with this kind of stuff.

What should I say back?
 

"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.

This girl just proclaimed her love to you... anything you say will seem to her like a rejection if you don't say I love you back to her...

So the best thing you can do is simply say... I like you as a friend but nothing else... which is exactly how you feel...

If she's not horribly ugly why not tell her you want a booty call and nothing more.

If she looks like an urangutang then you may just tell her that you're in a "complicated" relationship right now.

The girlfriend manuever. If she's a good friend, it probably won't work, as she knows you're life.

Hell, if chicks can lie about having a boyfriend, we can lie and say we have a girlfriend.

That way, you can still be her buddy, just one who is already taken.

If she knows you're single, and thinks you have a problem with women, then KIND honesty is your best bet.

You have a friend that's a girl, and you're "just friends"? Are you sure you're a guy?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.
