"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.

so I went on a date with this girl, it went well. she traveled for a bit and we texted back and forth for the couple days she was there, sometimes me, sometimes her would initiate contact. here is our recent conversation via text

-I just landed, my whole life hurts(she went to do a marathon) I look like the tin man at the moment thats how stiff I am

- I'd rather have you be dorothy I bet you'd look cute in the red shoes

- Maybe one day, just not today or tomorrow or the next day

-alright well better or no date #2

- Maybe this week, if we got time. today would have been perfect, i'll figure something out

- I know but I literally am a mess, I wouldnt have been any fun

I ended up just replying "Yah"

so that was yesterday. no text from her today and I havent sent anything yet.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Text one line to her tomorrow. Do not text her today.

No response tomorrow to your text? Leave it be. Let her make the next move. You don't hear from her in a week...DELETE the number.

Text with a scope: to meet her at a given time/place, and that's it. Too much text communication. Either call and chat for 5 mins, or don't altogether. This cutesy texting where all you do is think of the best lines to woo her will dominate your waking hours while she's getting jack-hammered by another dude and sending you smiley faces. Face to face is the king of communication.

if the first date went so well, then you wouldn't be getting all the 'maybe one day, maybe this week, if i find the time' bs for setting up the next one. just ignore her for a bit, or better yet, NEXT!
 

"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.
