"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.

Approaching a woman after someone else just approached?

okay i know there are just a few guys that have guts to go and approach women whether its in the train station or the bus stop or the streets. I never done it before. I think about a month ago in a train station there was this real attractive woman and I was just walking and noticed her.

There was a guy that was talking to her and had his phone with him and I think he cold approached her when I was walking towards that end. He was smiling A LOT and the woman did talk to him and seemed happy. A lot of people was watching too and then she just went her way to another part of the train station.

My question is is it always a bad idea to approach a woman that JUST has been approached 2 minutees ago? I know its better to take a shot since theres nothing to lose but whats your opinion on this situation?

I don't think i ever heard of this situation addressed in this board.
 

"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.

because this situation was really awkward. If i was a woman and just been approached and another guy comes talks to me in 2 miniutes, it makes everything seem so easy for me.

It's going to be awkward for you until you start.
 

"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.

What is the difference? You can work it in your favor, especially if she just rejected the guy.

'That was harsh, the guy asked for your number and you turned him down! I saw him over in the corner crying. You are kind of sadistic'...

That would get a laugh.

There's ALWAYS a way. Have you seen the movie "Hitch"? Will Smith aproaches a chick (Eva Mendez) at the club who is rejecting some persistant guy. I'm saying Will Smith INTERRUPTS another approach and gets the chick! Can you fvcking believe that?!

Uhh...that was just a fictional movie, dude.

But to answer the OP's question, isn't that the norm in bars and clubs anyway? Women get approached by guys, you might be the 4th guy that hit on them that night.
