Still refering to the neighbor girl in my last thread. I asked her what she was doing this weekend. And she told me she had some thing fri, but wasn't busy any other day. I was thinking about inviting her along with me to a party or maybe a movie, should I get her number first?
"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.
Asking out over myspace = lame?

"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.

Get the number and minimize the computer geek communication. I had another thread going in Mature Man just within the past few weeks and the guys recommended that I cut out the email. And with this one chick I am seeing I have done just that and I think it's doing the trick..
She even commented that "it sure is nice to hear your voice once in a while!" I hate to take credit for another brother's tip which is why I mentioned this!
Here, however, is one that I made up and have used:
"My doctor told me at my last checkup that I need to cut out some of the technology in my life.. It's causing my mouth to slowly develop an overbite and I have also shown signs of some extra snorting that I never used to do when I was younger. Why don't you help me out here by giving me your number and cutting a little bit of technology out of the picture for me, just like the doctor ordered? You want to help me out don't ya?"

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
