I read a book recently called Switch, by Chip and Dan Heath, about “how to change when change is hard.”
The book covers a lot of different areas of life, but it centres around how and why people can change things in their life, whether it’s their dating, love and sex life, their business or work, or other aspects of their lifestyle.
I took a lot of great things from it and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in growing any facet of their life.

When I first started going out to meet women I might have spoken to a woman for twenty minutes and hardly be remembered when I followed up with her.

One of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal to move along the Emotional Progression Model and seduce a women is storytelling. The power of stories is that they can help you in most areas of the Emotional Progression Model (i.e. Approaching, Attraction, Comfort, and even Qualification a little bit). Some stories can even achieve multiple aims at the same time (i.e. Approaching + Attraction, or Attraction + Comfort)
As discussed in Magic Bullets, building Attraction is primarily about having a woman discover your positive characteristics. One way to do this is for a woman to be told about them by you. Storytelling is great because it allows you to tell a woman almost anything you want about yourself. When building Comfort, storytelling can help build a meaningful connection with a woman. Stories provide a great opportunity for her to get to know you better and should encourage her to tell you about herself as well.
My preferred approach to story-telling comes from Magic Bullets, and has six distinct components: A hook line, The Flow (main content of the story), Embedded information, Opportunities for input, Open threads, and the Conclusion

Whenever men seem to get to the point in a conversation with a woman where it reaches an awkward silence – something that anyone who has time in the dating world knows, happens quite often – they always resort to the same style of conversation: Rapid-fire interrogation. These quick questions about the woman’s life (“What school did you go to?”, “Where are you from?”, “What do you do?”) never lead anywhere, usually causing the woman to be bored and looking for the next topic of conversation.
Instead of falling into that trap when talking to women, here are 6 different conversation topics you can use to keep the awkward silences to a minimum while keeping the excitement of the conversation to a maximum.
1. Speak your passions
More than anything else, pushing a conversation topic in the direction of your own passion is the best way to keep a conversation going. Instead of thinking too much about trying to maintain the conversation, by talking about your own passions you can just begin to have fun and show your excitement about the topic at hand. This will not only show your own intelligence – since you’re talking about your passion, you’ll automatically know about it – but also give the woman a glimpse into your own emotion and excitement. Women are always looking for this in a man.
In the same way, if the woman begins talking about her own passion, ask her about it even if it’s not your own passion. This will allow her to feel excited while talking to you (something that is never a bad thing) and give her a chance to talk about herself, offering clues as to her personality that you can come back to later on in the conversation.

Area51Lifestyle.com shares its ongoing a comprehensive inquiry of a fellow by the name of Mystery, who's been teaching guys how to meet girls for 16 years.
Here's the rundown:
The focus this feature is how to initially interest women.
Also we've tacked on education through adding a video that I created in conjunction with Mystery.
This polarizing character that Mystery, AKA Erik Von Markovic, conjures for people, has also appeared in Playboy Magazine.
Erik Von Markovic's fame happened because Mystery has used hidden camera video and verified his smarts in exciting radiant world famous women…
This guru has professionally taught his secrets to umpteen struggling guys to advance their results with women…
And Mystery's inspired dozens of his best proteges, like Matador, to train their own charges to step up their results.
We've gotten lots of letters from flustered guys about this mystery pick-up guru and most folks have been giving false information about Mystery and his routines.

Once I started learning Love Systems, I was actually able to pull beautiful women home to my place. But in the meantime, I also got good at making things work by going back to her place. Here are four tips for closing at her place.
1) Find out where she lives.
This step seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how often it is unintentionally left out. When you know where a woman lives, you can plan ahead to deal with the logistical problems you're going to hit later.
Does she live near the venue? Does she have a roommate? Is she in a dorm? Do you know of a cool bar/after hours joint near her place? When you want to bounce her back there, are you going to drive, walk, or take a cab? Even if you end up with a phone number + date instead of going home with her, this info will be useful for when you go out again.
Here are a few scenarios to consider, and ways I've figured out how to deal with them.

Most men are interested in dating science because they want to get better at interacting with beautiful women. Whether your goal is to land a playboy model, or to start dating that cute barista at Starbucks, you need to learn how to sexually progress. Otherwise, you are likely to get the all too familiar “let’s just be friends”. Unfortunately, most men are afraid to act out on their sexual desires, and the result is that they never push any boundaries with women. This causes their game to plateau below their potential, leaving the best opportunities to those willing to push the limits.
A good parallel is with an athlete trying to improve their skills. I have a friend who white water kayaks, and he was telling me about his adventures. If he never paddled rapids out of his comfort zone, he would still be kayaking on dinky one foot waves. Instead, he goes out with friends that he can learn from, and makes sure he paddles a section of the river that is just a little bit out of his comfort zone. That way he can improve his skills, while making sure he doesn’t end up in the hospital. Now when he goes white water kayaking, the dangers are real – but he takes constant, yet small steps to take things up a notch. Not surprisingly, the worst thing that has happened to him is a pulled muscle.
