"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.

... that the "romance" character development felt completely unnatural?

Hehe, mind you it's a frickin video game, but i thought the character interaction was really awesome EXCEPT for those romance bits which had me cringing at every sentence.

I mean, you're the big battle hardened soldier, shooting people in the head every day, and then you go to that girl and say "oh hey i have feelings for you", with your face forming some weird grimace.
Those conversation options felt really wooden and didn't fit Shepard's (virtual) personality at all. Whoever wrote those is either a 40yr old virgin or a girl. Anyone else played it?

Not that I care too much - I don't really get off on space pixels.
I just thought it was a good game and if they want to please the fans they could really improve on that.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Mass Effect 1 was pretty cheezy with the romance. I blame the writers.
