"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.

Just wondering... do you guys rather text or call a girl you're aquired a number from? I mean the first contact attempt you make.

Personally, I prefer calling. That way I'll get a direct response and be impossible to ignore. A text message is easily ignored. I also like to talk, having conversations is a good way to build rapport, as I learned here. However, it's the totally hip thing to text these days. Now I don't give a sh*t about that, but how does it work out with the ladies for the other people who also call right away?

..just wonderin'
 

"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.

For cold approaches I text first, if it's a girl from work or social circle I call.
 

"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.

I would deff call on the phone first.. Text messages and emails look to stalkerish and anonymous(to me anyways), and yeah can be ignored , plus you'll be driving yourself mad waiting for her to text back..

Yeah, first contact.... use the phone:up:

Always call.

This way you can get her in a good mood.
Her in a good mood equals better chance of her accepting an invitation to spend time with you.

While tone on the telephone does have a resounding impact, so do the proper text messages and e-mails. Every opportunity has its unique qualities that make every approach and situation different. It is up to you to learn through practice which is proper in each circumstance and to apply that knowledge.
