"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

The Most Painful Scene in the Dating Game

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Atleast he had the guts to go for the kiss... that says something, I guess. Lots on this board would get scared to make the move in the first place.

LOL

the expressions are very entertaining.

That just made this post even funnier....so true.

Yet that is not a bad thing... we are all on different levels and are all here to improve our game - whatever that may be.

As I have said in other posts though, if you are AFC, please dont pretend that you are not; bringing yourself undone with missinformed posts giving advice.

That is my pet-peeve on this site, apart from that - all AFC's welcome and much love.
:D
 

"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.

He looks like a sissy, he acted like a sissy. And he doesn't look like her type.

Yikes, the early 90s big hair thang sucks!

Easy. Forget about the girl and move on to other girls.


Jake did have some balls. But something tells me that he made his move way too late. You should make your interest known from the get-go.

He also made the mistake of listening to her problems, comforting her and letting himself be perceived as a nice guy/friend material. His timing was also dreadful. Never hit on a woman when she's in a low state - in fact, get out of sight altogether!

It sounds like this girl is dating Dylan (http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Loge/7725/dylan.html), so this kid has no chance!!!

Also Jake should have picked up on the signals, or lack thereof, beforehand. His compliment also sucks. Telling her lots of people think she's great, he's just opened up the competition for himself.

And NEVER EVER take the advice of a prepubescent alcoholic
(http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Loge/7725/matt.html) :)

But kudos on the eye contact, kino and having the balls to go for it. And if he's making his mistakes so early in life, I bet he'll be a top DJ when he's older.

Great find by the way!

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Okay, you guys realize that those photos are not of the actual event, right? There's not way a guy like jake would do that kind of thing if there was some guy ten paces off snapping pictures of the whole thing. This was acted out. It may have actually happened, but the pictures are of people imitating or acting out a storyline.
