As fun as it looks, try not to be this guy.Editor's Note: This piece is by Nick Notas, our Boston Wingman Strategist and Confidence Coach. You can read more of his pieces at The Dating Specialist.

Over the past week, I've been getting in many conversations about whether women should approach, takeinitiative, etc.

Conveniently, our Confidence Coach has some things to say about it.

Gentlemen, pay attention to these signals when meeting women.

The Winning Mindset

I get a lot of people asking me about confidence. The most important thing to understand is confidence is an emotion.

Because it's not tangible, confidence is not something you can “acquire.” It’s something you grow and like a muscle, it can either get stronger or weaker.

There are two key states that determine your success approaching and attracting women.

Pursuing a girl you like is normal. In fact, a little bit of persistence can go a long way with women. At the same time, it’s easy to lose sight of when you should keep trying or when you’re better off letting go.

Here’s an email I answered that I hope makes your decision easier.

It's Our Birthday: We’re All Grown Up

We're SO ready to party...some things never change.Nearly four years ago, I took a BoltBus with my friend Amy to meet Gary Vaynerchuk for the first time in New York City.

Gary and I were tweeting back and forth and I was a huge fan of his “monetizing your passion” message. That day, I was finally going to get the chance to meet someone I looked up to.

But, we got caught in rush hour traffic on the way. I saw tweets from him saying the venue was being lame about lowering their music and his talk may get cancelled.

He was the only reason I went to New York.

We bolted off the bus (no pun intended) and rushed to the venue. By the time we arrived, the venue refused to turn down the music but he was still there.

In fact, he took the huge crowd outside, stood on a milk crate and did his keynote about pursuing your passion right on the sidewalk.

Why Don’t You Do This?

Learn how to meet women when out alone.Let’s talk about going out alone.

People always tell me, “oh, I’d NEVER do that. That’d be so weird and everyone would know I was alone, which is even weirder.” 

Excuses, excuses, and more excuses.

Back when I was working the evening shift as a valet, when I got off at 11PM -- sometimes midnight -- I wanted to go out and have a beer. But with all my friends working normal “9-5” jobs, I had no one to do that with. 

I had to create another circle of friends to hang out with when I got off work.

So what did I do?

What's the Countdown For?

So many people have been asking me about the countdown on the site and it bewildered me that I didn't explain why it's posted. Silly me.

The countdown is for the company's 3rd birthday! Crazy, right? It seemed like yesterday I was just getting started while all of my friends were laughing it me. I love my friends. 

There will be a celebration of some sort but also many changes to the company and the site as well -- all of which I am excited about.

Even though we're turning 3, in Internet years, that's, like, 40 so I think it's time to step things up. Be sure to sign up for the Wingman Labs below if you want to get exclusive content leading up to the launch. Our next email goes out tomorrow.

Jamaica, Inspiration and the 5 Ways to Attract Women

One of the most beautiful places in the world.I wrote this while I was in Jamaica last week, helping prepare for and attending my grandfather’s funeral. 

I was going to share this with my Labs members but decided to share this one with the world. 

It’s more raw than my normal writings and hope you appreciate that. 

There is always a lesson to be learned from every experience. Here’s is what I learned from mine. 

DC Wingman Guide Coming Soon

We're almost done with the guide after being in DC a few weeks ago. There is a lot of information and cool stats to take in and we want all of it to be organized to create the most comprehensive piece possible.

But first, I want to share with you a testimonial from a guy who drove up from North Carolina to work with us in DC for ONE day that weekend. We're excited to provide these kinds of results so quickly for our guys and at the same time, we're not surprised. This is what we strive to do everyday.

We can't wait to reveal the next city for March and the rest of the year. Stay tuned!

"For years, I was uncomfortable meeting women at bars and other public places - I couldn't talk to women I was attracted to. I knew in theory what had to be done, but try as I might, I could not put it into practice. So I decided to work with Thomas in person, for a day. After just a couple hours,  I was talking to women, and getting their contact information! As the night went on, I initiated conversations with many women, including groups, and grew more confident. Thomas talked me through the mechanics of a conversation - how to read people and yes, flirt! He even gave helpful pointers on fashion. I am glad to have worked with Thomas, and highly recommend his services!" - RS, North Carolina
