"Isn't your line of work really hard?"

"Isn't it hard going to school and working at the same time?"

"Are you ready for the test?"

You are the Don Juan. You are calm, you are collected, and whenever presented with a question like this, you respond:

"Nothing I can't handle."

Nothing I can't handle. I am capable of taking on any challenge that comes my way. Bring it on. Let life give me hardships. Make things difficult. Give me challenging work, adversities to overcome. I will face them head on. They are

"Nothing I can't handle."

Even if you don't feel that way, or don't think you feel that way, you will present a confidence to the world. And, somewhere inside, you will realize... there's

"Nothing I can't handle."

Chicks eat this up.

A qualifying tip -- Put the phrase, in big, block letters, in places that only you will see it. On the back of your closet door, on your favorite bookmark, on a card in your wallet. Always see it now and then and repeat it in your head..

Nothing I can't handle...

The more you see it and think it...it will become ABSOLUTELY BURNED IN YOUR BRAIN!

I hate people acting like it's not humanly possible for me to do the things I want to do. I always tell people that if there's something I want to accomplish, I will accomplish it.

People ask you those kinds of questions because they have doubts about themselves, and they're trying to understand how you could have the balls to think you could do what they can't.

I will remember this one just in case I will take a trip to Germany. Just kidding. Fascinating that you translated something that even our German DJ � derWichtigste � had problems with.

Her: �Does ... make you scared?�
Me: �I�m not afraid of anything.�

I read it on this forum, but unfortunately I can�t remember who posted it.

Please add more simple and useful phrases to use.

Here's another one for you.

"Great." Enthusiastically.

So simple, so effective. When do you use it?
Whenever anyone asks you how you are.

Her: How are you?
You: Great.

Always. Whether you're great or not. Another example.

Her: How's everything going?
You: Great.

Nobody cares about your problems. When you smile, the world smiles with you, when you cry, you cry alone. If you're great, people want to be around you. If you're not, get lost loser. It's just the way of the world. But perhaps the "great" works best when things AREN'T great. For example, right now I'm just getting over a head cold/sinus problem. I feel kind of crappy, and I don't sound so great either. I'm at work and pass a cute girl in the hall, who I know only in passing.

Her: How are you today?
Me (smiling): Great.
Her (laughing): You don't SOUND great. Sinus problems?
Me (still grinning): Nothing I can't handle.

Powerful stuff here.

i am US, but live in Germany. No German here.

I speak the language, but some things like this need to be translated carefully, or you will make a big mistake.

By the way, I have met very, very few german DJs. They just have no idea how to deal with chicks.

Ohh, I see. I didn�t know that. What do you do in Germany, derWichtigste?

How is it to date girls that don�t speak your native language? I�m thinking of working in US a couple of years after I finished my education. The problem is that I�m quite bad at speaking English. (Maybe to write English too??? ) Is it hard to meet chicks if you make grammar errors an chooses inappropriate words sometimes?
