Well after 3 ugly gf's over the past 3 years I have a date with a down to earth good looking nice girl. Its tomorrow night and I'm taking her out for drinks in a trendy part of town.

Girls have causually told me im cute/good looking and could have done a lot better then my ex's. Now finally im being told shes the kind of girl i should have been dating all along.

I'm getting a little nervous. I got the date so that should count for something right? Maybe im putting too much on this. Those AFC feelings of "do i deserve her" are creeping in the back of my mind.

I can usually act myself again if i just picture her as one of my ex's.

But any last minute tips?

Edit - I'll post the update of how it went
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Congrats, man. I do have a tip: talk to more girls, during the day, on the way to the date, you name it. Now that you got started, go with the roll. You probably don't want to get oneitis just now.

Gonzalo is offering you pure gold here, the roll is what you need. Talk to the waitress, bartender, whatever. Keep in mind you can get a date with many other girls.

May sound sexist

I know that what I am about to say is sexiest but think about it this way and it make life alot easier.

You will have to be sexiest. Thats what I do.

I usually think about women as inferior to men, and that the only reason I am interested in them is their body.

Since there mind is based on feelings and not strong rationalization they are inferior and of no use to this world except those women who are strong and independent that make it up to the corporate ladder.

Every othere women is lost and is confused and men think straight and dont have probelms since they dont change their minds based on feelings and we have the best weapon, its logic. We have logic and they dont have as much or they dont use it or listen to it as much

all this evidence makes me feel that men are much getter than women and in more detail that since I am a man that I, ME, that I am so much better than any women.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

This is going to sound really lame, but it works for me.

In situations where I start to feel nervous, I pretend like I am inside a computer simulation, like in The Matrix. I tell myself this isn't real, and that way I can ignore my surroundings because they are "fake". All of the people around me lose importance, because they are just part of the simulation. This keeps me focused on what I am doing, keeping me away from thinking like an AFC.

Of course this advice should be taken very loosely, but I find it helps overcome nervousness and anxiety, especially since I am a gamer at heart.

Just a little update.. its been a month since that first date.

Shes now my gf and things are great. Even though its just the first month.

Its pretty even I'd say. More so her calling me. But me making all the plans.
She loves the fact that we'll go out and she doesnt have to decide what we're doing.

Thanks to all for the advice...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Big Update:

I know I'm digging up an ancient post of mine. But I'd just like to thank everyone of you for posting your tips and storys.

Anyways I've been living with the girl mentioned above for 3 years now and last year I proposed to her:). I couldnt ask for anything more in a partner and this Feb we are getting married on the beach in Mexico.

Already talking about starting a family and we couldnt be happier!

Thanks again everyone, but I won't be needing this forum anymore :)

Keep in mind the possibility that she may have a strange ( but quite common) reaction to eating wedding cake,
Some of the signs and symptoms which may appear in the following weeks or months are - a loss of libido, a sudden tendency to weight gain, cravings for ice cream, a tendency to nag and whine, a demanding even overbearing manner, a desire to spend more time with her mother, frequently criticizing your clothes, your eating habits and your friends and so on...

Should one or more of these behaviors emerge in her the first year of your marriage , log on and post here without delay.

You forgot the one where they suddenly desire to cut their hair short because it's too much work to keep it long... right.
