"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.

Hey do any of your parents know you do this, into the whole game etc. It's kind of funny, my mum thinks I haven't had a girlfriend since I was a toddler (remembers the corny puppy love moments)... Thing is, I've had tons, and my excuse every time is, "I'm just gonna play out with Oli" (He's a mate of mine)... And each time I either go to his house then make our way to the park where my girlfriend is, or go to her house... My mum also thinks I will get tons of women as I am such a "nice guy"... And ALSO believes I have NEVER french kissed a girl. Jesus if she only knew... Any of you lot in situations like this? I KIND of drop hints, if some guy on TV is acting real AFC, I point the fact out, and when my mum is like, "yes that's WHY she likes him," I go rambling on about the wrong-ness of "Just Be Yourself" etc. in which she just gives me the 'yes dear' look.
 

"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.

yeah my mom pretty much got the picture when I was 16 and she came home early from a business trip, to find my current GF, giving me the ride of my life.. i was so into it I didn't hear the garage door open.. even if I did, I don't think I would have stopped.

since then it's been pretty much don't ask don't tell.. She ironically trusts me when it comes to women.. I mean I am grown, but she doesn't dabble. if I make a deciison she knows i have good judgement. However going back to when I lived with her, as long as I didn't do anything blantely disrespectful (bring girls home at midnight, getting caught sneaking out) she was cool.. and no kids

My mom used to be happy for me when I got a date. LOL guess she really liked how I was growing up in front of her and that I was popular with the ladies. She would give me tips lol which were pretty decent. It wasn't NICE GUY tips but GENTLE MEN tips. My dad was a pretty good player too, heard from his highschool buddies that he was the most popular natural at school. Thank god I got some of that. :D
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

My mum teases me SOOOO bad about this kind of stuff so I never say anything lol
Next time she teases you just tell her "That's why I haven't brought over your grandchildren."

Mom knows something's up because I'm different from what I used to be, like 180 degrees different. Plus she've been with men into this game, so I bet she knows. It's not just women, it's everything else, and this success is a sure give away.
