After being out of college for two years now, I completely agree with you.

I’m 26 and my g/f just broke up with me (for good reason) I just wan’t ready for the long haul and pushed her away and now i’m single.. This really hit.. for the next half of my twenty’s I just want to learn to have fun and date many women, laugh, learn about myself and create long lasting friendships!

COllin thanks.I’ve read something like this.Don’t know where. As I’ve said I know the theory but sometimes I just, forget. My last date was kinda like me always laughing and pointing out her funny body language . I can’t have a straight face,seriously I’m not the person to be . But if I think about it I am like that when I’m alone and not talking to anyone. It’s weird anyway hope I get over it. Thanks again…

At any age self judgemental thinking and not enjoying the moment is not the path that lead you to true freedom.

Well I’m about to turn 21, so trust me David. I’m gonna enjoy this adult adolescence quite a bit.

And Mike, I’ve definitely been there with your “BIG ISSUE.” It’s hard, but you need to flip your thought process upside down. Treat the date like a big test for her. You’re looking to see if she meets your standards. Don’t even really bother trying to meet any standards you think she might have. You aren’t spending time with an angel who has graciously allowed you to spend some time with her. You are a man who is trying to figure out if she measures up. Be playful, flirt, have fun, and enjoy the chemistry, but I think if you go in with the mindset of “she doesn’t have my approval yet” then you’ll be much more successful.

Thanks for the feedback Eric. Look here’s my email:zappy91@gmail.com

In my opinion one of the best ways to keep improving is to learn from others. I mean, in this case is really cool cause we’re not so different , at age. Want to talk about this stuff just email.

STEVE, If you’re reading this…you remember a couple of posts ago I was talking about a girl that I was trying to be with that had a boyfriend and eventually turned me down?I did what David sugested in the “So she has a boyfriend” post and guess who got a call about 3 weeks later?:))
She finally gave up.Don’t know what happened I had already deleted her number, email adress…but miracles do happen . We’ll see if I manage to pull this off.

P.S BIG ISSUE.Why do I get over excited when on a date with someone I like and have chemestry?I’m so happy and excited that I’m always smiling and giving away good energy….but this behhaviour isn’t helping…Once a girl told me this thing but I can’t control it . Help?:)

Yo Mike,

I’m 17 and I’ve also been reading the blog for a while, I know where you’re coming from! People view me as really social but I also feel that there are a lot of things for me to work on.

I’ve read many articles about loving yourself and believing in yourself, but I don’t think just reading them is enough. You have to take them to heart and say “I love myself” with feeling and believe it, so whenever negative feelings pop up. Just remember the positive and remember it with conviction. That’s what I do =)! Good luck Mike! Keep on working hard!

Now I feel small . I’m just 18 but sometimes I feel that I think different in a good way , than most guys in they’re 20′s. Maybe it’s beucase I’ve started reading this blog and really getting into this stuff at 17.The problem is, I can’t always do my…objectives I set up in the morning. And for every little thing I beat myself up.

It’s weird, most friends see me extremly confident, but in reallity I have my issues but they don’t want to see that.They only see the best side of me.

David or other readers, what is the best advice you would give a 18 years old guy who really wants to grow.Not beating myself up? I really want to know what you think.I’m very open minded so feel free to say anything .

P.S THanks, I’m not in my 20′s yet but I can relate to that, I turn 19 in april.

Wow! This really resonates with me big time. Thank You David.

Being a 23 year old, I always seem to beat myself up for not knowing everything and for being inexperienced. I tend to get stressed out about ridiculous, small issues. It’s always such a relief when you write something that relates to me.

I’m reminded by a podcast you recorded last year, “There’s no such thing as a bad day.” I recommend the podcast to all 20-somethings.

Thanks David
