Has anyone ever done that? I thought maybe it would ease my tension and help me loosen up.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Take a shot or two before a date?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You'll smell like booze. Do a couple shots with her on the date if you like, but drinking to "loosen up" beforehand is a touch on the alcoholic side. I have drank plenty at inappropriate times, so I'm in no position to look down on anyone, but it's still a bad idea.
For a second there I thought you were referring to the suggestion of jerking off before a date to calm you down.
I would do neither.
Just go with the attitude to have fun and make a friend and not worry about impressing her or worry that you will fvck up somehow. Things will work out better if you are calm beforehand and thinking positively.

I say thats a pretty good idea if you're not driving. I like to show up to parties a little tipsy already, helps me mix right into the flow. Hell, during Christmas time at my work (we do a lot of sales) all the employees throw back a couple of shots in the backroom before work. Helps you loosen up and be friendlier/more outgoing. Sales then becomes so much easier. What can I say? I'm a little alcohol dependent? Its a magical substance.
Whatever you do though, please brush your teeth and chew some gum to make sure you're breath doesn't smell of alcohol.

I love alcohol. It totally loosens me up. It makes me a nicer, more funny, more ****y, more open and a more assertive person. Hell, if it was legal i would drink all day. During work AND in the car. Nah, just kidding.
Hard liqur is more powerful then any gum or toothpaste, it will always win. Especially dark stuff like Whiskey. There is ONE exception, and that's vodka. Don't ask me why, but it is a known fact (go look it up on wiki if you don't believe me). That is the ONLY liqur that doesn't make your breath smell like alcohol, unless you drink a whole bottle of course. Try it.

"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.

Good point. You definitely have to get tipsy before the party.ValleyDJing said:
As for dates...never tried taking shots before...during yeah, but not before. How are you going to drive? But I have tried drugs (before a date...and of course at other times too). I wouldn't recommend either. Drinking is cool, but in moderation. If you have to drink to get relaxed for a date, you may want to work on your confidence a bit. You shouldn't rely on a substance like that. I know how it is to be dependent on something, so if you're not careful it can lead to addiction/abuse. Whatever you do, be careful and be safe. Good luck.

So I ended up not taking any shots and the date went pretty well. We had a lot of fun and everything. It's not going to go anywhere cos she's sorta dating this other guy, but as long as I had fun... I think that's all that matters.
