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.

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Since when was saying 'I'm attracted to you' a show of feelings?nismo-4 said:In English, No.
In Spanish, No.
In Russian, Nyet.
In German, Nein.
In French, Non.
In Ebonics, Hell naw!
In my language, F**K NO!
You're giving the girl the upper hand. You'd better have your sh*t together before doing this. It's better to show your feelings through your actions, and even then the wrong one can turn the girl off.
There never was a sure-fire way to get a girl unless you got good looks, you're famous/ high status, or you're rich. But there are sure-fire ways to lose a girl!
Case closed.
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.
I don't understand why you would need to say that to her.Rhino22 said:Say you get a girls number or whatever. Should you eventually just be forward and say, "I am attracted to you" ?
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I say you hit it on the head too with this one.DavenJuan said:BB hit it on the head..
in some cases, extreme direct can work, but its about HOW you say things, not what you say.
its not so much TELLING her that you are attracted to her, rather than helping her realize you are.
Master expressing yourself WITHOUT the use of words. IMO, this is VERY important. TELLING someone anything leaves out the interpretation, and simply put, boring.
