"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.

Sounded like 'howashianiio' and is, she tells me, very complimentary. Any ideas?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

dude, it sounds like.. very disgusting.. the first part hao pretty much means very in the context, but I can't decipher the last part - all I can really get is disgusting.

Yeah that's it. It sounded like that, and it was in the tone of her voice. Also she said the same thing in English several times. Good.

Sher-sher, or however it's spelt.
 

"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.

no worries = boo ka tee. I remembered that because it sounds like Booker T, though I keep saying Doctor Feelgood by mistake.

Na ga niu bu xihuan ni..... wo dzau jiu shang le ta!
actually no idea what the hell she said...u gotta split up the sounds...as for pinyin..it sucks and everyone writes it differently

perhaps she said hao ai ni ooo
that good unless shes just a retard who says stuff like that for no reason.
 

"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.

back to Paris, missing the USA
This is where the standard PinYin comes handy: only one unique way to transcript the sounds.
:D

"howashianiio"=> probably "hao xiang ni o"

"hao xiang ni" literally I think about you, I miss you so much.
"o" is just a "girly" interjection

no worries = boo ka tee
Actually it's "Bu Ke Qi" which is identical to "you are welcome" after some one said "thanks" to you.

I asked her, it was the 'I miss you all the time' one.

I also told her the 'o' at the end was a just a girly inflection haha, thanks for that.

Whats mandarin for 'I am your bodys perfect master?'
