"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.

To the guys thinking about marriage

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm 41. Believe it or not, I'm with a 46 y/o right now, and I'm very happy. Her kids are grown, so the baggage is minimal. She's been married to one guy since she was 18, and I like that about her in a lot of ways. If she had been Internet dating for just a few years, I think she would be a very different person, more jaded and less giving.

Last year I was with a few girls half my age. I can get that if I want it, but they bore me quickly. Today's 20 y/o is mentally about 12.

Especially if they're attractive, everything gets handed to them...except for this guy!

Throw them for a loop, break the pattern...they'll start thinking.

Be impossible, Be...

It's such a toss up now a days mentally. I went out with a 41 year old weeks back who was mentally like a teenager. It's kind of a big let down when you see one you gel with acting like a little girl. Then another one 43 playing the same games. If I wanted a little girl I'd be dating one.

Yeah bible_belt seems like you got lucky along with your skills.

If I were to find a keeper and we both agreed we wanted kids marriage and a prenup, she would have to be between 22-35

If we did not want kids 22- 49 depending on her looks and how mature she is.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
