"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.

Being "Separated" is killing plates

Recently separated playing the field.. it's scaring plates off. I got one who is cool with it and wants to see me but she just wants to be "friends" but I make her p/ssy wet with my game and she said she is confused. I met her already and again tomorrow.

But I just had another in the palm of the hand but when I was honest about being separated the plate cooled down. I don't know if the plate broke, I still got the #. But "separated" is killing the game.

Should I lie.. now don't get me wrong, I break it to them very smoothly in a Player Supreme type way but man it's a killer.

I really don't give a damn about the lost plate tonight I am just testing out what being honest will be like. Actually the new plate tonight I probably got her hamster spinning with my smooth game so we'll see if she comes around.

I don't give a f/ck either way. I saw a hot chic at the starbucks when I was married. I went back the other day and got her #. She said it was her last day working there. I asked for her #. She wrote it down. I thought maybe it was fate being her last day when I approached.

I called and a dude answered and told me she is not availabale. I texted and got no reply.

Chics are so damned strange. Just don't give a f/ck.
 

"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.

"Being Separated" is often synonymous with "Giving it a small break" or "time out," suggesting the strong possibility for reconciliation. Words, man...words. A woman has too many options and too little time to isolate herself to a stranger who's still legally, although loosely, attached to another woman...unless you possess enough strong, tangible qualities to convince her to dismiss such reservations.

Why are you discussing this 5hit with new plates? I usually don't discuss my marital status until after a few dates. By that time, they're too emotionally invested to care.

This is when online where you have to put your status, at first I put single but then if I met someone and they find I lied that would get screwed over fast.

I think I'm going to put single anyway. If I met in person I wouldn't discuss it.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yea, I am with Bible_Belt I used "I'm the process of my divorce" in person and "single" online. Then throw back at them: You: "are you single?" Her: "Yea" You: "good, I don't hunt on another mans land, there is no honor in it" or some other statement that makes them feel secure that you aren't a cheater.

Dude, we all know what 'separated' means. It means your wife left you. Women know that 80% of divorces are because the wife left the man. So to the new chicks, that means that SOME woman left you and it turns them off. Women want men in demand, not ones that women leave. There are many women, even quality ones, that will f*ck married men if they feel the attraction.

You need to turn this around and either quit talking about it, or somehow imply that you left your wife. I just wouldn't mention it at all.

I've always used "single" when signing up for online dating. "Divorced" still has a nasty stigma attached to it, and "Separated" sounds like you're still not over it.

On the way out to hang with plate. I don't mess around. She knows everything and still is attached and only 24. Being out of the dating game for 4 years and I haven't missed a beat.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

When a woman starts proding into my relationship status prematurely, my response is generally "I am an available man right now and that's all I'm gonna tell you. So let's just enjoy our time together tonight and see how things go".

As for the online status thing, I think its OK to put "divorced" once court papers are filed, even though the divorce isn't final, so long as you know for 100% sure there is no going back.

Tell nothing and they asked tell them you have been divorced for a while. I made the mistake early on that I was going through a divorce and lost a number of plates. There are a lot of women who want to make sure that the drama is over and that you are available.....lie. Abe
