"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

seriously. i can not keep a straight face, ever. i was always like this, and i think it's the main reason i lose respect a lot. i think this is the major thing holding me back

if something slightly funny comes into my mind, or i try to say something serious, or i get any kind of look, i start to smile like an idiot. most people are straight faced all the time, and when something genuinely funny happens, they will laugh or smile, but i uncontrollably smile/laugh at everything, which makes it impossible to be a man.

ive always had this problem, any help to overcome it?
 

"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.

Is this really a problem? Sounds like you are bubbly.

Hey a MAN is bubbly when HE FREAKING FEELS LIKE IT.

Go out and have fun. You'll wonder what happened to it when you are 50. Don't loose it, have fun with it.

"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.

I have the solution!! Just carry around a carpenter's "level" to measure your horizontal, and you'll be ok!
