"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'm sure this has been said a million times before, but I think it needs to be restated for all our newer members.

Dating is a game. That's all it is. Nothing more, nothing less. You play games to have FUN. I see people asking, "What should I wear/where should I go/what should I do/how should I say this/etc etc etc?" I'm surprised someone hasn't asked how to wipe their own ass. How many of you asking all these questions are really, truly enjoying yourselves?

Everyone's so caught up in details that they're missing the biggest point, the FUN of the game. Who gives a sh*t if you wear a T-shirt or a button up on a date? Who is going to care if you use cologne A over cologne B? NO ONE, that's who! By worring about all these details you have effectively killed any chance you once had of enjoying yourself.

Go on dates, experiment with options. Make mistakes, we're all human. Learn what works best and apply it next time. But above all else, have a good time!!!

It's like the Gameworks motto. "Life's a game. It's meant to be played!"
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You sense the tension too, huh? I agree, when you have fun you are more relaxed and put less stress on the outcome, and it is not a matter of life and death situation!

hahaha. yeah, if you aren't having fun doing it, then don't. People stress too much over it.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I agree that dating is like 99% just a game.

but some people have alot at stake (i.e. their fragile ego's) that they only want to play to win and over analyze a situation just to make sure they dont lose

One of the most essential parts of the game I have learned is you MUST LOSE TO WIN! whata paradox huh?

Think of it like playing blackjack, you lose, you win, you lose , you win, you win, how many rounds you play is up to you
