"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.

Hi,

I've now read and listened to so much information on the subject that I think I've overloaded. My issue is that even after getting the basics of how to approach, how to become more confident, etc etc it still doesn't feel right and I have too much fear of being laughed at or slapped.

I'm in the perfect place right now where I am moving overseas in 3 months and should therefore have no cares or worries at all on making a fool of myself, getting serious, or approaching in general, but I just can't force myself to do it. Even in Strauss' training diary I can't get through day 1.

Does anyone besides the obvious just do it mentality, have any suggestions on where to start or what to do to work up to that moment?

Ultimately, I think I would do better in a daytime environment given that I'm a tall, attractive guy whom has to dress for success. Surely it shouldn't be that difficult to go up and start a conversation but where do I start?

Many thanks in advance.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I think you just have to get rejected many times. After a while, you won't care. Worked for me.

I agree with brian and you almost have to chunk this stuff. I think it took me over like 50 rejections till the point I didnt give a **** anymore.

I also recommened innergame work as well. A lot of people dont stress that part but if you dont truly like yourself first and arent afraid to be yourself then women wont want to be around you or atleast the ones you want.

Also work on developing your personal style, looks, and hit the gym. Let's not minnimize the importance of looking good.

And yea, get rejected a bunch. Experiment and learn about yourself.

I still get rejected quite a bit by women. I am still working on my game. When I come home at night from a night out at the bars, the worst feelings I ever have is when I don't try over when I try and fail.
 

"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.
