"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.

Strange Decline in Confidence

The past few weeks have been very strange for me. I have experienced a huge decline in confidence. There are several possible reasons why:

1. the cold grey weather. I think I might be suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

2. As a result of the cold weather, I've stopped exercising and feel a bit less energetic and have gained some weight.

3. I feel like fewer girls are staring at me, checking me out, and approaching me. Perhaps because I am taking less note of this, or perhaps it's actually happening less often.

4. I feel and look older. I know, I know, it seems bizarre to believe I look significantly older in just one month, but I feel like it's true.

I think what was happening before, was that I would check out or stare at women all the time and they would naturally check me out in return, and I would take these as IOI's, even though I was actually causing them. Now that I'm doing this less (checking girls out), girls are checking me out less, and this affecting my self confidence.

Oddly, I've found a good new job and getting good hours so financially I'm ok and actually doing better than before, but it's not helping my self confidence at all.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I think you just need to go out and get some phone numbers. Most of the time I have no confidence too and can't be bothered to hit on a hot woman.

But occasionally I will go out and just do it and getting 1 number is like a crackhead finally getting his fix.

After I get that # I just want to get more it's addicting.

So go out and get a number tomorrow and you will feel better.

do you ever talk to any of these girls or do anything beyond checking them out?
 

"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.

not gonna comment on the "game" aspects of your post cuz i think these 2 are the most important. SAD is REAL. go see a psychologist/therapist, discuss it with him and if you do have it buy a full spectrum light lamp, i ve heard it does wonders

by exercising you release endorphin, a chemical that makes you "feel good". so SAD + less endorphin in your body=the sure road to feeling s.hitty, if not outright depressed

so buy that lamp and start exercising. btw "as a result of a cold weather i stopped exercising" sounds like bs. Did you use to only exercise outside? there are no indoor gyms in your area?
