That&#8217;s actually a <strong>HUGE<\/strong> step, and it shows that when you apply what I&#8217;ve taught you, you&#8217;ll go far.<\/p>\n<p>I have to tell you that it&#8217;s just fine to have tastes in &#8220;older women.&#8221; But restricting yourself this way right now is actually detrimental. You&#8217;re making it harder for yourself by being a bit too picky at this point in the game.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re not out there trying to rule the dating world and meet your future wife&#8230; you&#8217;re only <strong>PRACTICING<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n<p>Drop the pickiness and get practice.<\/p>\n<p>Most guys who fall back on the &#8220;I only like&#8230;&#8221; reasoning and picky behavior is often a cover-up for reluctance to meet more women.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s usually a lame excuse.<\/p>\n<p>So your next step is to simply keep doing what you&#8217;re doing now, and notice that when this part becomes &#8216;easy&#8217; for you, you&#8217;ll naturally want to go further.<\/p>\n<p>And the next step for you is to simply <strong>ADD<\/strong> more conversation to what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>And the part you need to add is this one sentence:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, it was great talking to you&#8230; You know what? We might want to continue this conversation sometime. Give me your number and we can stay in touch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Or you can say &#8220;facebook&#8221; instead of number.<\/p>\n<p>Or you can say &#8220;email&#8221; instead.<\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t matter.<\/p>\n<p>The point is that you are simply accepting that you&#8217;re not asking her for her number.<\/p>\n<p>Some voice in your head is talking you out of it.<\/p>\n<p>You think you can avoid &#8220;rejection&#8221; by not asking, right?<\/p>\n<p>But the result is the same.<\/p>\n<p>You still don&#8217;t have her number. And now you&#8217;re also practicing &#8220;failure&#8221; by failing to ask.<\/p>\n<p>Just use what I just said. Start gathering numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Do this over and over.<\/p>\n<p>Because you can&#8217;t get anywhere until you get over this hurdle in your game.<\/p>\n<p>Get out there, keep doing what you&#8217;re doing, and just push a little further each time.<\/p>\n<p>Remember &#8211; you miss every shot you don&#8217;t take.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.realdaygame.com\">And if you want to learn a complete strategy to meet women anytime and anywhere &#8211; no fear of rejection &#8211;
