"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

One of my "fears" is getting into a confrontation with some cokblocker afc. I know I can hold my own in a fight, I just hate fighting though.

Honestly, it's confronting the "jealous ex boyfriend" of whoever I'm talking to. In my area, people do some stupid sh1t over girls, like I know a couple of stories of guys who shot each other up because they were fighting over a girl (an even more ridiculous story is that a guy got killed over a hat). I just don't wanna one day have to face through a situation like that.
 

"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 common fear....rejection! I've gotten used to rejection and my confidence outweighs it, but I still fear it everytime.

not knowing what the **** to say. and the **** happens too so my fears actually have substance.

its hard as hell especially when either the girl doesn't hold up her end of the conversation, or if she's too shy to do so.

actually this isn't a fear, its a legitimate problem. small talk seems lame as ****.

Simple, that gut ripping feeling when you can't seem to get your game on. it;s the worst experiance in the world. You know that your a nice, cool, sexy man... but when you game just doesn't go, I feel like CRAP, then I curl up into a ball and have to spend like 2 days psycin myself back up so I can pick up. It's horrible, and the one thing that I fear more then anything in this game... is my own social shortcommings and lack of skills at time.

Choosing the wrong one.

I like to be playful and I naturally kino a lot,, the problem isn't to keep the convo going, but sometimes I encounter a rude chick that doesn't like to have fun... And she may be like "STOP touching me YOU CREEP"

Apart from that... What's there to be afraid of?
 

"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.

Trucks. Trucks are my biggest fear. I constantly worry about getting run down by a truck while gaming women. I always look behind me to make sure that there are no stray trucks looking to hit me. They're everywhere. Clubs, Bars, Malls- No where is safe from trucks.

I lol'ed for real at that. :crackup:

But really, this thread is silly. The ONLY fear when doing a "pickup" is that you may miss a better female while gaming your current target.

Bringing this up once again! It's a new year! Have your overcame your fears? Are your fears the same or have new ones came to surface? Speak your mind!
 

"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.
