"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.

While I wouldn't consider myself a collector, I do have about 4 or 5 pairs of expensive sneakers. Mostly Jordans and retro Nikes. I like the culture, particularly when they retro old shoes.

It's something I enjoy spending my money on, as opposed to drinks at a bar, car mods, video games, etc. Not saying I don't spend my money on those others things too, I just like buying a nice, new pair every now and then. A few times a year I put my paycheck towards a nice trip to Footlocker.

I'm in my early twenty's, so I might not do it too much longer. I realize mostly young people like basketball sneakers, but I enjoy it and don't really care if it seems immature or materialistic or even like I'm wasting money.

Anyone else here wear Jordans, Nike, etc?

"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.

Haha and I thought women had too many pairs of shoes...

On the other hand, if it makes you happy, and you can afford it, why not? Personally I have never seen the appeal of collecting things (I collect dollars instead) but I do use my money on other things like travel so I don't even have anything to show for it except memories, stories, and a few photos. Who's to say what a good hobby is.

However no, I don't collect sneakers and don't think I ever would.
