Chancer weren't you depressed and ****??? Are you over it yet?
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.

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.
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.
Yeah same here. I'm fine around friends and coworkers.Originally posted by 777boy
Jond i was also thinking of going and getting tested to see whether i suffered from social anxiety.But in my case its weird cos im okay with all guys and girls i already know.
I only get totally flusterred with new chicks.

You see you are still thinking from the perspective of what the other person is thinking of you. It is not that you put on some front or act in some way that seems like you don't care. You must honestly, truthfully not care. It doesn't matter what they think of you.In the paragraph where you said " i have to learn how not to care" Could you elaborate more ?How can i seem not to care or to give the imppression i dont care.
Do i like act unaffected when i see a girl i like instead of oogling or.....?
Yep. Or as if we're doing something dumb or stupid. Like everyone else in the world knows whats going on, and we're just pathatically trying.Originally posted by 777boy
Jond i know what you mean when you say " you feel everyone would be watching you if you tried to approach a chick and think youre a loser "
Its as though were doing something wrong....and we have no right to approach a chick.
No, you're 100% right. Look at eharmony, match.com, yahoo personals, etc. There are ALOT of people who dont have this area of their life handled.Originally posted by 777boy
You know i think its cos we think -ve we dont see all the other people out there who are in the same boat as us.Do you really think all
guys are getting chicks and having a good time ? I honestly think there are so many out there like us.Look at this forum you,Chancer 357 and myself have this
weird problem.3 people in a single forum.So what about your state or city ? Believe me there are so many miserable people but many dont say anything or make
an effort.At least we are in this forum trying to figure out ways to help ourselves with useful input from others.
Not really. I've been searching for other methods(NLP, therapy, etc). It seems to look though, like the bootcamp may be the only way.Originally posted by 777boy
Jond have you done the Boot Camp ?
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I think that is a reasonable question and I don't mind answering it. I think hearing about where other guys have come from can help people who are in a similar place.Originally posted by 777boy
MrCode,
I need to ask you though.You said a while back you were shy etc. What exactly was your problem and what techniques did you use personally to improve and did that help you getting a chick ?
Sorry if this is too personal but think maybe this info could assist me.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
