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.
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.

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.
This is 'not' the ex-girlfriend saying I might be the father. This is a one night stand I had last summer with another girl before I met the recent ex-girlfriend.Warrior74 said:Leave it bro. No contact. When she initiates contact, tell her you want a DNA test. If it's yours, you make her deal with it. If she wants child support, make her go to court for it. If she dumped you she already doesn't respect you. If a baby can make you jump thru her hoops she owns you. I say this as a man with a child. My ex tries to play games with my daughter. I ignore everything but what I want. Why? because she only respects me when I don't kiss her ass. When I was nice I never got anything I wanted. Listen or otherwise she's just gonna use the baby to jerk your chain repeatedly.
She has already asked for me to take a DNA test. She wants to do it tomorrow. She doesn't want a relationship which is cool. I just didn't want a kid this way. I've wanted to have one for a while though, but not from just some random girl.Warrior74 said:The same rules apply. What's fun is fun and what's done is done. Not a dime until a DNA test. No contact otherwise.
