ONE DEFAULT THING TO DO IN ANY SITUATION





One of the concepts that I really think is valuable to


get a handle on is called "Always have one default thing to

do in every common situation."



It's amazing to me when I watch a guy interacting with a

woman, and everything is going well... and then it's time

for him to either step up and make something happen, or

walk away like the wuss he is for NOT taking action...



...AND HE JUST DOESN'T DO IT!



Ohhhhhhhh I hate it when that happens.



I'm sure you've never had this happen. Neither have I,

of course.



I was out yesterday at the cell phone store getting a new

phone (because a certain company who's name starts with "S"

has the worst customer service on the planet)... sorry, I

digress... and I witnessed a painful episode of "Wuss Drops

The Ball" right before my eyes.



A tall, blonde model-type girl was waiting to get

herself a new antenna for her phone, and Mr. Smooth started

a conversation with her by saying "What kind of phone do

you have?"



The conversation was going along well, and they were

both smiling and laughing about phones and such.



Finally, Ms. Model walked up to the counter and got her

new antenna, then said "good bye" to Mr. Wuss-Of-All-Time,

who proceeded to smile dorkily at her and wave as she

walked out of his life forever.



He just watched her walk all the way to the other end

of the store, out the door, and out of sight.



You've probably seen the "I'm SUCH a loser" look.

Well, he had it.



IT WAS GOING SO WELL FOR HIM! WHY DIDN'T HE JUST ASK

HER FOR SOME INFO? EMAIL? NUMBER? ANYTHING!



He had that look in his eye of "Damn. I really should

have just asked her for her number."



Twenty bucks says that he thought about that girl all

day long, and imagined 47 different great things that he

SHOULD have said in the moment - but didn't.



The only reason I'm so sure of this is because I used

to do this exact thing myself all the time. And now I

know that many, many guys go through scenarios like this

every day - but never get any positive results because

they're not READY TO ACT IN THE MOMENT.



For some strange reason, many guys feel compelled to

come up with some UNIQUE and ORIGINAL way to handle

every situation. And you know what that usually leads

to... (right, a date with Rosy Palmer and her 5 sisters).



So what's the answer?



The answer is to have ONE DEFAULT THING TO DO IN

EVERY COMMON SITUATION.



One way to start conversations with women.



One way to ask for emails and/or phone numbers.



One way to take things to a physical level.



One place to go out with a woman...



...etc., etc., etc....



I can hear it now:



"But David, it sounds kind of corny to ask every woman

for her number the same way..."



I get it.



I used to feel the same way.



But here's the deal: If you will just take the time to

learn and prepare ONE simple way to handle each of the most

common situations, you'll be about a hundred times more

successful than if you try to "figure out something unique

and original on the spot" every time.
