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.
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.
I tried my best to watch that tv series but could not stand the endless talking and drama...the only series about outlaw criminals who spend more time doing introspection and assuring women than doing criminal stuff.Die Hard said:Mad Men and Don Draper? I'll take Sons of Anarchy and Jax Teller, thank you...

That might just be me. But if you made a list of times men are debased on TV, I could probably come up with 2 examples of minorities and women being debased for your 1.
I don't usually disagree with you much, Arcbound, but on this one, I don't think we'll see eye to eye.

This quote raises a spectre in me, that I get seriously irritated by. Fair play to all masculinity, but I really do believe that the liberal media promote only positive/masculine images of minority male groups, certainly here in England.
Its like because we have such race problems, white males have to bend over backwards to be "gentlemen" and accepting and not brutish, or cant ever be patriotic because thats "not on". WELL FUKK THOSE FUKKIN CUUNTZ. It just disturbs me at seeing the pussification of men; very disturbing indeed as I come from a line of soldiers/ warriors who would turn in their graves at seeing their descendants completely wacked out with spin/bull****/manipulating policies from goverments/thinktanks/big business/ "educators".....
How did it get to this.....
How do we get our pride back......

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.
