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 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.
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.
Thanks cool dude. Move along.New2Town said:Live a full life and you'll have your own stories.
If you have so many stories, then why look for others? You can't create stories and then have people ask about them later and forget about what you said. It's easier to tell the truth than it is to lie.fea8899 said:Thanks cool dude. Move along.
I have plenty of stories already, but I'm always looking for others to have up my sleeve to be able to introduce in different situations. It's something I'm good at, so I'd like to maximize this skill by seeing other stories and using them as a framework and/or reminders of my own.
Now if anybody has anything like this, please let me know...
It's not a template I'm looking for. It's reading other peoples' stories that will trigger memories in my own life that I can spin in a humorous way. Take a look at the thread above with Mystery's new video about his niece...it just reminded me of some funny experience I had with my little cousin that I can now use in the field.New2Town said:If you have so many stories, then why look for others?

Here's a template for your stories...
Last _______ (insert day), I went to ________ (insert place). When I was there, _________________ (insert funny thing that happened) and I was __________ (insert emotion).
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.

Stop wasting energy trying to undermine me and just be a help if you can. If not, just ignore this thread. For your own sake homey.
