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.
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.
tick37 said:You're now going beyond AFC and into the world of stalker. Stop calling. You should have given her space and time to decide on her own. Now you're pushing her and being selfish. You didn't even give her a chance. You started chasing, and she started to run. They always run when you chase.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
crap i think i mighta said i'd call her before i leave.. even tho i said make it at 8 like 3-4 times.tick37 said:Well, hopefully you've got definite plans. If so, don't confirm with her tomorrow unless you already told her you would. If she doesn't show up, don't call her. Don't ask if she's coming. Just wait 15 minutes. If she shows up 30 minutes later, it's her loss. She'll have to make a valiant effort to make it up to you. Now, if she shows up, be yourself and don't go overboard trying to make her like you. Just be you and know that you are giving her a great opportunity to be with a great guy.
Were you not suppose to meet up with her today? Did you? To me that is flaking. Now your making excuses for her. If by the grace of god she does show up tomorrow and you hit it off, in a month's time, your going to be telling how she is the one, then in 8 months, your going to be asking us how to get her back.pete101 said:unless of course she cancels on me last min.. how come this girl isn't following by the rules and things you guys have been saying in regards to flaking etc?
pete101 said:guys i dont understand what the hell is going on..
i call her now with no caller id so she doesn't know who it is (i dont think shes smart enough to realise these things yet..)
i completely make no mention of todays indiscretions and just acted c+f, i made some joke on the phone immediately and had her laughing then she says to me 'i've never met anyone like you before who's so ****y..'
i didn't know how to respond so i said 'well im not ****y and arrogant, im ****y and funny.'
i guess it raises my level a bit that she thinks im self assured.. i just need to prove it. but anyway she's meeting me tomorrow.
unless of course she cancels on me last min.. how come this girl isn't following by the rules and things you guys have been saying in regards to flaking etc?
obviously i'll be embarassed if she ends up flaking.. she sounds like a girl of high interest on the phone.. but she wont take my calls unless she doesn't know it's me.. crazy.
ummmm that was mean...LOLMacAvoy said:Were you not suppose to meet up with her today? Did you? To me that is flaking. Now your making excuses for her.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Don't send a message, don't call, you'll just give her an opportunity to flake. Just show up and be prepared to do something else instead.pete101 said:crap i think i mighta said i'd call her before i leave.. even tho i said make it at 8 like 3-4 times.
i guess i'll have to send a msg then cos otherwise she wont think it's on if i said i'd call her beforehand.

I know, its called tough love. He's been here 2 years and should know his stuff by now but he's making rookie mistakes.DonGorgon said:ummmm that was mean...LOL
This is where I bail. My mean predication has already come true.pete101 said:see i know what you're saying.. i guess it's cos i got oneitis already.. that im not strong enough to cancel on her.. i've never met her before
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.
You're not strong enough to cancel because you don't believe in yourself. She's a flakey hor, and you've given yourself up. Did she do anything for you to reward her with your attention. No, not a damn thing. Since she knows you'll always be there, she'll do as she damn well pleases.pete101 said:see i know what you're saying.. i guess it's cos i got oneitis already.. that im not strong enough to cancel on her.. i've never met her before this is why im inclined not to cancel on her or do these things till after we've first met.
with a HB like her guys falling over themselves i guess it's a necessity to do the things you say..
assuming things go well tomorrow i should split after 1 hour even if she suggests going somewhere else after?
it'll take her by surprise i guess.. but i probably need to end on a high but seem disinterested at the end.

You can't get credit enough to overcome blunders with someone you haven't met yet. They have to have grown to really like you somewhat in real life first in order to turn a blind eye to small mistakes. Rather, at this stage, women take it all in, unknown to you, and observe it all and form their opinion. They don't necessarily tell you what that opinion is, pete.maybe she really likes me enough to forgo some of these stupid things im doing..
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.
