"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.

A place where dreams become reality
Alright, you're stressed out. You're guilty of over-thinking and pondering over her mixed signals. She appears to be really interested, and then her interest level drops like the economy. Whatever the reason is, you're exhausted. And you know it.

Ever had a lot of fun in your life? Remember the times when you were having so much fun that you were caught in the moment? You would not notice even if a car accident happened across the street. Remember when your mind is in a blank, free of thoughts, cool, calm and relaxed? No outcome would have gotten into your head. Ever. Your heart beats at a steady pace. You're not even aware of the way you breathe.

Grab that fun, relaxed moment. Hit the 'Save' button. Whenever you are stressed out by anything that happens in your life, whether it be women, money, or crisis, hit the 'Play' button. Think about how cool and calm you were at that time. Not a thousand rejections would faze you. Nothing would faze you. Nothing is ever that important. Nothing is too dangerous. Nothing is a real threat to you. Nothing is a big deal. You don't worry about the future, you don't worry about the past. You're living the present, every breath of it.

Remember that moment. Savour it. Feel it. Live in that moment and set yourself free again. As long as you be a Man, any problem can be solved. You don't worry.

Think about it.

No, don't think.
 

"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 here. in the real world.
I understand what you're trying to say here man. Basically -- we can enslave ourselves by _worry_ and _fear_ when we overanalyze things with women.

What we have to do really is just pull into ourselves and realize that no outside person can bring us happiness. It's gotta be inside, and any single female cannot make or break that.

I like this, sounds like a great way to help stay positive and keep good emotions flowing through your body. Always a good thing when dealing with anyone.

Even if you are sad, we all are at some point just find the beauty in life. The world is a beautiful place but also has a lot of sad and evil things.

I think "the moment" that you're talking about is the main goal of DJism. Being able to be in that state of mind, naturally, is the ultimate goal.

But I don't believe you can "save" that moment, and "play" it any time you want. I've tried it, and it's not that easy. When I remember back to the times I was in the moment, it was usually after i had accomplished what I set out to do. And that feeling came very naturally. I didn't care what anyone thought of me, there was no thoughts and worries in my head, and I was very calm and relaxed. I remember these times perfectly clear and it's been the best times of my life so far.

You've understood a really essential step in your way to becoming a man, and that is becoming the free spirit.
This is the first step of your journey, for you must be free before being able to love and being able to transcend your art.

What you got wrong though is the way to free your mind from trouble and being in the state you've well described and that people who ever had this experience with freedom will recognize easily, and dream, and long for returning in such a state again.

I'll soon make a thread about it which I'll call "Freedom, Love & Art".

You're on your way !
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
