"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.

... This has been bothering me for some time now.

Over the last few years a lot of my good friends have either gotten full-time jobs or have moved away. We used to go out all the time and be outgoing, pick up girls, hang out, whatever. But nowadays it seems like what friends I have left just want to sit at home and "chill", as one friends describes it. At 23 y/o you should be over "house parties" every weekend (with the same damn people). Now I do have a few girls that I roll with but I have been missing out on the guy aspect of socializing. I have no problem at all with talking to women but getting new guy friends seems to be a hard task. I would say that I have 2 or 3 guy friends that I can go out with frequently. The others are just boring, introverted, druggies with no social life.

This sucks... anyone feel me here?
 

"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.

i just moved home from college and all my guy friends live hrs away from me. Although, many of my girl friends live within visiting distance, we hang out every week and it lets me keep my game strong. Although my relationship with these girls are set in stone, i can work new C&F stuff before i use them with new girls. Its hard at times. I cant get dumb drunk and do guy stuff (pick up girls, vomit everywere) but at the same time, it give me awesome social proof plus these girls have hot friends to work my new material on.

dude, what do you want a freaking basketball team to take out with you?

I have 2 Friends... not that I can take to the club, just 2 friends in all. One of them I would consider taking to the club. Keyword, consider.

Make due with what you have.

HOwever I perfer to go out by myself anyways, because I am more likely to be the catch.

However, my friends are fun to hang around, and I do make sure that I get with them around 1 time a week if possible.

Gotta agree with this. :)

I know how you feel because every single one of my friends from highschool they all have 2-3 jobs and never do anything. The only thing they do is work and sit around listening to there little ugly dog face girlfriends problems all day on the phone when they are not working.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'm 23 too so I feel where you're coming from. The few friends that I have already have g/fs or are out of town for the summer or working way too much!
