"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.

A bumpy situation came to me in which i desire to seek extra advice, haha that sounded good, but i thought i would ask you guys!.. i didn't realize how hard it was to actually attract and pick up a girl while in class or at least try, more particularly the class i'm in. the class is no bigger then 15 people so the class room itself is pretty small. The situation is, this hb sits at a different table which is right next to me but the ****ty thing is there is no time to work my skiillz. the fugging professor is constantly lecturing so its impossible to dose off into a convo with her. i don't see her before or after class at all. What the fug a dug should i do to work around this obstacle

PICTURE of classroom- for the visual people. :up:

"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.

Yep, its hard to talk in a university class, because lets face it we're more mature and know its not polite to talk while the prof is lecturing. Anyways use notes, it works for me.

Heres an example of what I did

The prof was going on about how Oprah is overwhelmed (useless stuff in a class about education) Anyways I wrote on my paper "Oprah needs a hug :("
tapped the HB 8 next to me and pointed at my note, she laughed out loud. After class we talked about how the prof rants about useless crap, I got her name (thus facebook) and email after class. Definately going to work some game on her.

never thought of notes, i must say that does seem like a good idea, if not the only, and the best.

Pass her a sheet of paper with a tic tac toe on it. If she looks at you confusedly - look at the prof, look back at her, and shake your head like you really need a break! ..and keep smiling (winning the tic tac toe is not the objective here lol)
 

"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.

haha yes. i like the way your thinking. She has been giving me so many IOI and it kills me inside not knowing what to do in a situation like this, usually i'd act but this was such a confusing setting for me. really.

man, i totally know where you are coming from. im normally not very shy when it comes to picking up but in the classroom it just feels so odd.

there is this HB in one of classes and it just feels so awkward to try to approach during class.

i like some of hte ideas mentioned in this thread though, and ill be sure to try some of them.
