"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.

A professor of mine (who happens to be the absolute man!) once challenged the class to go one day without eating. He said that most of the people who couldn't do it, gave up just at the last minute before going to sleep. Why would you quit when you're so close? He told us it's not because they were just too hungry that they couldn't stand it. It's the fear of change. The fear to push past your comfort zone.

So what I've learned from that is that it's important to challenge yourself to step past that comfort zone. It can be extremely scary sometimes but you'll feel like the man afterwards. Rather than worrying about how uncomfortable the situation will make you feel, try to look forward to how accomplished you'll feel afterward. Let that thought be your motivation to get off your computer or video game station and go to that party you were too "lazy" (afraid) to go to.

Happy New Year folks! This is your year!
 

"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.

Brilliant.

Reminds me of when my teacher told me "You have to step out of your comfort zone in order to get noticed" because on halloween I wore a nerd outfit and got massive amounts of good attention.
