"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.

Greetings chaps

I'm currently courting an HB8 in college at the moment. We've met before and got on very well. I see some potential here.

However, she works weekends (the only time I'm generally free), and she says that she's not going to be free much until the end of June when her exams finish.

Is this an excuse not to see me you think? Shall I continue to pursue?


In before 'do what you think is best'; I'm asking because I don't know :p lol

"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.

This sound like an excuse to me. I mean,she told you that she's not going to be free until the end of June? Uh..yeah...that's an excuse. If she really,really liked you,if she were really interested in you,she'd find the time to spend with you. It's an excuse. Just a nice,non-confrontational way of telling you that she isn't interest. You can trust me on this one. Also since she said this,don't be surprised if you see her 2 or 3 weeks down the line out in public with some other guy. If you don't believe me,then tell her that you'll wait until the end of June when she has more free time. Man,I wish I could see her face if you were to say that to her. She'd be shocked,then she'd stutter to try to find another excuse for you two to be apart.

However,this is all just my opinion. If you'd like to continue to pursue her,then by all means,do so.

It does sound like an excuse, not one that literally declares no hope, but an excuse none of the less. Go after some other girls just keep in touch with this one, but deff dont sit around waiting for june to come along, if she isn't completely sold on you now, see some other girls and see if that doesn't slightly raise her interest.

Update - we've arranged to do something in a couple of weeks (I have uni to get on with until then); will be meeting up, watching a film; play pool no doubt and if I can squeeze in a game of bowling I'll go for that too.

Clever ;) I'll date around then; even if it is just for passing time.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Is this the same girl who you said that told you that she wouldn't be free until the end of June? And now all of the sudden,out of the blue,she was able to find some time to hang out with you. You must have done or said something to create some attraction in her. And when you did that,PRESTO!!!,like magic,all of the sudden,she magically found some time to spend with you,when she had previously said that her schedule was booked solid until June. Yeah,generating attraction in a woman will cause her to show up on dates,return phone calls,and make suggestions for the two of you to do things together,whereas before she was giving excuses about why she couldn't go out with you,ignoring you phone calls,and not coming up with ideas herself for the two of you.

Actually that was an omission on my part - arranged the date before I wrote the first article.

Although that said, she said she's going to give me a call tomorrow sometime.
