"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.

AFC's running rampant....

Just out of curiousity, was wondering if any of the towns any of you live have the ridiculous number of AFC single guys running around. Huntsville, AL is full of them. It's an engineer town, and so easy to pull leg because of that. Problem is, there's alot more guys than girls. But what really taps my a** is the recently divorced single guys, overflowing with fake confidence, who use every tip they can find in Men's Health and usually make fools out themselves in bars and what not. No offense to anybody here, I'm talking more to the scores of middle aged AFC's that try to be cool by hitting on every girl they see. These guys have never posed a threat to me, except one swung at me one time when my gf told him to get away, and then i took him out with a single open fisted punch. Now I'm not a Don Juan just yet, but d*mn I'm way ahead of most of these yuppie chumps. Maybe it's this town, but you can't get away from these fags around here. My gf gets hit on by them all the time, never gives me a reason to doubt, but they get on my nerves over time, esp. when we're out just trying to relax and watch football or something. Just bored at work wanting some of your thoughts....
 

"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.

Law school is AFC-dense. Today, I was walking behind a girl and a guy that I know. She turns to him and says, "hang out with me. I need someone to hang out with." I'm not after the girl, so I'm trying to set him up and help him set a frame. I say, "uh-oh, look out. She's desperate."

And then, wuss that he is, replies, "she must be if she's asking me." D'oh! Then the girl proceeds to talk to me instead of him, which was not what I was after. This guy probably has a 130+ IQ but he is clueless about women.

That seems more like a self-esteem issue than an AFC one. Dude thinks he's so worthless that a girl shouldn't even want to hang out with him??

DonJuanMonk, nobody told you you had to post in here. If you don't care, don't post, simple ass that, jacka**...
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

He sees himself as joking, but it is still supplication. The girl stopped walking with him as soon as he said that and started walking next to me. The guy is overweight and probably does have low self-esteem. I actually was trying to help him, but oh well.
