"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.

f**k it
f**k it all
f**k those popular kids
so confident and tall

for there is more to life than women
it seems so hard to see
there is more to life than drinking
i want to be free

under shackles of conformity
it seems so constrained
being judged upon by others
how do I break these chains

If you strive for independence
And truly break free
Unleash your self expression
Truly happy you will be

It's not about what you say
It's not about what you do
It's not about being alpha
It's about being you

Sexual frustration is your motivation
Procrastination is your foe
Self-respect is your guide
On a journey you must go

I see the beautiful people
So ignorant and bliss
They have been my splitting envy
The past I will not miss

Love your biatches
don't pretend
Love yourself
Keep growing to the end.

"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.

You know how people will say stuff in the mirror to convince themselves they're the best? Its a common pick up trick.

I'd say if you change the you's to I's, this is better than any of those. Dope poem dude.
