"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.

Pretty much every attractive girl has a bf anyways, or at least claims to ... so what is your response to this when you ask for the # and they say they have a boyfriend? Thanks
 

"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.

You "could" say something like "I'm sure he's cute but I'm sure that he wouldn't be my type," but my gut tells me that they just don't want to give up their number. I suggest working on your rapport with women and skip asking for her number until after you ask her out on a date.

shoot thats my favorite line for them to say.
Just tell them " nah thanx i rather have your number" or the old one " im not trynna get with your bf" or " who said that i want to be your bf? , i just want your number"

there are many answers to that, but when it comes to girls with bf's dont try to get in there unleast u really really like them and its not just for a peace of booty.

lord knows I know from experience...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Dude, if she's taking the time to tell you she has a boyfriend, you already can usually forget about getting her number.

So why not get a cheap laugh out of the deal?

that she says that she has a bf does not necesarly mean that u are not getting her phone number, it all depends in how u approach the situation after she says them 4 words.

For instance in my case with my girlfriend, she had a boyfriend when i first met her and asked her for her number, however i kept talking to her, and ended up 40 percent ljbf'ed but i with her phone number. ( i say 40 percent cause obiously she was interested in me for her to give me her number)

Enough said that after like 2 months or so we got together after our "friendship" developed into something more than just friends, and look at me now, the girl that had a bf'ed and didnt wanna give me her number, is my girlfriend now.

First, I wouldn't brag about that, given what we already know about that stellar relationship.


Second, it's called a goddamned joke.


Third, girls typically tell you that they have a boyfriend when they want you to leave them alone.

"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.

You keep doing what you're doing. It's obvious that you're having metric tons of success so far.

I prefer asking for dates, then getting the number.

That way when they say they have a boyfriend you just tell them that he can't come with.

just cos a girl has a boyfriend or says she does does not mean shes not worth pursuing. think about it nowadays most boyfriends are what we would call emotional tampons. sometimes a girl will say she has a boyfriend just to see if youre man enough to **** with her anyway.
 

"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.

Okay, you guys keep going after the taken girls with your canned responses to what usually amounts to "leave me the hell alone".

That leaves more single ones for me.

I've also used this one and it got a laugh out of the one chick that I did use it on:

"Don't you want a better one?"

Even if I didn't get the number so what I was still having fun with it.
