"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.

Anyone that knows about drum sets

I'm looking into getting a drum set for myself. Would it be necessary to buy the plastic casing that goes around it? If so what is the casing for? Any tips on how to transport and purchase would greatly be appreciated.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If you're in a band, you'd want cases for carrying your stuff to gigs. Otherwise, they just sit around and take up space.

I'm thinking about building a room just for the drum set. Or maybe get one of those shed's to put the drum set inside.

You'll want climate control, which a shed probably wouldn't have. Extreme heat will make the wood veneers fall apart and in cold weather, it's also possible to get condensation on the metal, which could cause rust.

Then to make a pool house would be a better idea. Not sure if my girl would enjoy endless drumming inside the house.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

so set the shed far away from everyone, have a little space heater in there, and insulate the building well. NO biggie.

If you never played before, look at pre-owned, you'll get a much better deal. Post the names of the kits you're looking at here, maybe links. If noise is an issue, get a pair of sticks and practise on a pillow, or get a practise pad - you can get muscle memory into your arms, hands and fingers that way.

Maybe get an electric kit if noise is going to be an issue long-term. I hate the feel of the things but for practical purposes they're awesome (solo rehearsal, band rehearsals, and they're great for musical theatre/pantomime gigs, techies love them).

I actually keep an electric kit by my computer. To record.
