"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.

FcUk i have a problem and i ddnt see it comming until ive had 5 people point it out to me!

My friend keeps telling me i over analyze things and whatnot when it comes to dating chicks and getting them to that stage (well i dunno he is kind of AFC but eh). Ive also had my ex (a long time ago) tell me that i put too much pressure on myself when doing sh!t, and just a few minutes ago my friend told me that i think too much and that i should let my instincts do all the actions...

Now that i think of it... i have been overthinking... i guess this is what happens when you just keep reading posts and the DJ Bible and not practice them in the realworld. Well atm ive gone thru the 2nd day of the DJB so im at least fixing that real world thing, but does anyone have any suggesstions on how to shut the mind up and let the instincts take control? i know it sounds stupid but when i tend to think it seems to bring in a downpour of negativity and i get that fear kicking in on me. It happened tonight when i was with a girl im interested in and i couldnt bring myself to do kino on her (i have done so in the past but i think i should close this chapter with her as i think she's just undatable)... but yeah see what i mean!? I COULDNT BRING MYSELF TO DO KINO.... it's liike my brain just tells me ... yeah now it's time for kino, then the thinking occurs and whatnot... i remember a while back i jsut let things go as it was.... i was running on instinct and not thought...

somehow i lost my confidence.... anyways if u missed it the question is how do i get my mind to seriously shut the fcuk up and rely more on instinct?
 

"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.

You're worrying about saying or doing the wrong things, that's why you're over analyzing. If you don't want to do this anymore, STOP putting her (who ever it is) on a pedestal, stop trying to qualify yourself to her. Knock them off that pedstal that society has put them on, place your thrown on that b$tch, have a seat and make them work for your attention. Bring out that inner pimp inside you and let them all know (women) that you don't give a $hit about them. Let them know they're a dime a dozen.

I'm the same way, what works for me is drinking a cup of wine or something before I go to a social event. 1 cup isn't enough to get you drunk but it's enough to get you relaxed. Don't drink beer, it won't do ****.
 

"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.

My friends like to poke fun at my overanalyzing of simple decisions. One time at a party i was faced with decision of eating the last slice of pizza. I immediately broke the decision down verbally into cons and pros making it seem like i'm voting for a president than whether or not to eat the last slice. I always reflect on that experience as a "not to do" example.

I found it easier to decide with the first feeling that pops up in your head before your rational mind takes over. That's what intuitive decision is, and don't be afraid to make a mistake.

Each time you make decision, wrong OR right, you train your intuition to make better decision next time around.
