I need a little more commitment.

"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Understood captain. Army salute. Let's do it. I may be adding some peacocking to it (i.e Santa Clause hat). Does Real-Estate clients or cold calling for leads count towards talking to people in general?

Not to nitpick or anything but Monday is December 3rd.
I will join but there is no commitment from me at all. So maybe I won't join
But I'll think about it

I would think so, Luke, it's all about confidence building?
I got a picture in my head of you like one of the guys from Glengarry Glen Ross now - always be closing!
Looking forward to this starting - good luck everyone!

"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.

Hey guys, I've attempted the BC once by myself but didn't finish it. Love to do it from start to finish again with the support of others. Some info about me: 21 yr old from Australia at uni.
Physically my game is fine, need to overcome approach anxiety and opening groups. Major problem is building rapport in a big group of unknown people.
Looking forward to week 1, will post up regularly.
Cheers, Mr_Aries

A PM has already been sent to confirm.
The reason of joining is I believe this bootcamp will inspire action since I'm pretty much dormant right now in the public avenue of cold approaches and tend to be relying (with not much avail) to online game.
I'm an RE Agent so I'm in a sales profession where I have to deal with the public in an ongoing basis. As per bootcamp rules, does contacting people for purposes of sales, as I'm normally doing constitute as 'talking to people', etc? Does handing out my business card to older attractive women and introducing myself also count for something?
When I deal with people, I'm usually tensed up and usually cut to the chase of business - and that's the type of person is really cut-to-the-chase and task-orientated stuff. It is difficult for me to start conversations with anyone unless there is a clearly defined goal in mind because I tend to like to jump to the goal and let the chips fall where they may so to speak - but I also realize you need time to show your value or personality and get a chick to like you.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Well I worked my way through all the reading material and headed out into the field. Boot Camp certainly seems to start off slowly to get you into the groove rather than diving in at the deep end.
I find eye contact and smiling easy and don't get uncomfortable looking people right in the eye. Sadly, everyone else seems to and won't hold it with me! Everybody is looking down at the floor or staring into space. I tried to get eye contact with as many people as possible anyway while walking around town and a few shops.
I do find saying 'hi' randomly to people walking down the street a little strange. I only did four and they were quite meek, only one person said it back (again quite meekly) and that was a guy. What is the best way of saying it, not looking manic and crazy, and having the other person respond? I'm thinking of adapting it into something which I would say more naturally rather than 'Hi' or 'Hello'?
I wouldn't say I feel a change in myself just yet but I'm not yet out of my comfort zone so I'm sure that will come.
Looking forward to reading the experiences of others and would appreciate any feedback.
