"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.

Most people using dating sites aren't even reading profiles. The majority just do the "swipe left/right" thing based on your default profile picture. Women, especially, don't usually read profiles or make first contact. It honestly doesn't even matter what your profile says since it won't be read in most cases (although you should still be honest with it since it will be read in some cases). This is also why you shouldn't take "likes" seriously, only messages matter.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yup!

Funny you say that...

My very short profile clearly states that "I am Canadian, living in LA"...after 3 or 4 messages she said, "so.....I know you are American...but where are you from?"

ummmmmmmmmmmm...okay, so someone clearly did not read my profile...hahahaha...

You should have deleted the match when she said that she was not comfortable. Remember, she has dozens of choices for men every week, high value men we are talking if she is hot. Whatever the reason or background, online game is a means to get the number and then plan logistics to meet. Everything else, you are giving her attention along with the several other dozens guys, even if she only messages the best looking ones, she has many more she never answers.

I had a chat with some skank. Was being dumb. I went off and #next! I got a msg about her crying for days.

These girls need to be put on ice more often than not.
