I disagree with the leaning thing. Leaning in is a perfect chance to get to get physically close to the girl :) It's far better than to shout so loud at her that her hair starts to blow back.

hahaha. the "technique" is talking at your same volume, and if they want to hear what you say they'll lean in. but if you lean in first tehy'll see that they don't need to and keep letting you do it. Learning all this stuff from David De Angelo was great, but I found learning it and then FORGETTING IT makes it work. if you use it as a "technique" its very fake. Once you internalise it and forget it, it just amplifies who you naturally are, then you can just "be yourself". I foudn and married the girl of my dreams.

I know this is getting *CRAZY* off-topic.
BUT I just came back from my 18th birthday(!!) :P
I spoke in a *normal voice* ,drank a lot of water (to level the alcohol) and instead of any of us leaning in: If she showed interest in what I said (or in me you might say) I just pulled her a little bit closer because we are both just interested in the thing we have going! (and it's alpha and stuff..) :)
well, it works for me anyway... :P

Anyway guys, It's 5Am and I have a rehearsal in 9 hours for a muse tribute concert in Thursday and I need to sleep and warm up before!!!
wish me luck! :D

(BTW, I think we can now end this PUA thread :P)

Keep on rocking (and sarging?) in the free world!
good night :)
