"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Life was easier when I was an orbiter

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'll be teaching an orbiting class on SS soon. No meet ups we'll sarge online from the comfort and safety of our bedrooms and go on a social media approach rampage of likes and no shame pandering comments.

Easy work.

Reported for posting my picture online. I didn't give you permission to do that and it's hurting my feelings.
I thought it was a picture of me at first, until I realized there were too many teeth.

I'll be teaching an orbiting class on SS soon.
Maybe we should start a petition for an "Orbiters" subforum.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
Now I'm CONVINCED you've been skipping your medication ;)

He has a point tho, remember when you weren't enlightened? You sat around believing in fate and destiny? Life was simpler back then, I'm sure...But you weren't getting laid, either...
Simple and you would walk around hunched over, with a goofy smile on your face, scowering clubs, buying girls drinks to find "the one." waiting 6+ dates to get laid or not getting laid at all. Giving girls attention with no reciprocation. Ya, being an orbiter was super fun.
