"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.

Just moved to a new place with a good night life, I am 21 now so I plan on heading downtown. I remember reading some posts in the past about how going out alone can be more effective than going with friends. I was wondering if anyone had the links to those posts or had any advice on pickups at the bar alone.

"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.

Find a girl there who is by herself, probably sitting at the bar. Then you dont have to bother with all the set opening, set merging tactics. Girls at a bar alone are eagerly waiting to cling on to someone so they dont look like a loser. Find this girl and fill her need. Then fill her up.

Going to the bar alone is a great way to meet women. Last night I went to the bar alone and used one opener the entire night, and ended up talking with a lot of hot women and going home with one of them.

What I've found out about approaching women at the bar when you're alone is: women of beauty are almost never alone. This is common knowledge. So you have to approach a pair or group of women usually. Start out with an open-ended question addressed to both women in the pair you approach. Personally, I like the Mystery Method's style of saying "I only have a minute, but..." and giving the women body language like you're about to leave any second while you ask the question. You don't appear threatening that way.

Also, have a brief explanation about why you're at the bar alone or where your friends are when asked. Eventually you'll want to isolate one of the women, which is probably the biggest challenge of approaching a pair of women, but the Venusian Arts Handbook does a good job of explaining this whole process.

Good luck, bro.

At least you have a reason for being alone. "I just moved here!"

Thats good conversation material also.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

It's not more effective per se, but what it does is that it removes a crutch. If you go alone to a bar you force yourself to approach because you don't have the comfort of just sticking with your friends. That's why in many cases it's more effective.

If I get asked why I'm alone, I just say that sometimes I like to go out alone to meet new people. It's simple and true.

Exactly right. Whenever I'm out alone it's not long before I'm talking to new people. Sometimes chicks, sometimes cool guys. If you're in a new city you should be meeting as many cool people as you can.
