"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 a couple of times I've had people who are claiming to be my friend and maybe they really are, whatever, say things that really piss me off in front of girls. Usually it's when I've had a few drinks I get pissed off and end up feeling like leaving at once and feeling torn like I'd love to hit them in the fact but yet they are supposed to be a friend and I'm being stupid for being angry... If I'm sober I'm more able to laugh it off or keep composure.

Basically it's like when I'll throw something ****y funny out at a girl and she'll respond and a friend will come in and say something like "Oh don't mind affirmed, he's cool just a little weird" or some kind of passive aggressive ****. like I need them to talk on my behalf. ****ing hell. Makes me so angry I hate that ****.

It's like how they'll not approach themselves but as soon as you do they'll come in and start being all "Oh he doesn't mean that." and basically gaying up my game.

Now obviously I wouldn't take guys I know to do this out with me if I were sarging but sometimes I'm just having a good time and somebody will do something like that and totally throw my state. I don't know if anybody else feels like this about it but it makes me more angry than practically anything else...

Any thoughts?
 

"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.

When friends work against you

I don't have any friends that are DJs. I would rather be by myself in a club.
The last time I went to a club, I was talking to a very hot blonde and my friend came up to us and said "Is your name so and so and do you know so and so?" She didn't know what he was talking about, so he said "Do you have a twin?" I didn't know what to say after the interruption so she walked off. I was kind of pissed, but I didn't want to be a jerk and make a big deal out of it, but he basically screwed it up before I established any kind of connection with her.

Either go out on your own or tell your boys to step off your game. Tell them that you wouldn't interupt them if they were speaking to a lady and they shouldn't to you. If they don't understand, find some new friends.

1.) If your friends c0ckblock you or get in the way of your game, don't bring them with you when you go out to pick up. It's not rocket science.

2.) If your friend says something like "Don't mind my friend, he's cool just a lil weird", do this:

totally ignore your friend, like he isn't even there, keep looking her in the eye and grin and say "I don't even know this guy". then look at your friend and be like "would you mind standing over there for the next 20 mins". if he says something back, say "why are you still here?"
