"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.

This is a bit of a two-parter. At least it evolved into one. lol...perhaps even multiple issues here.


There's this woman I started talking to that I met through certain geek Facebook circles that's coming to a convention in the states. She's British and is flying in over the weekend. I saw on her Facebook would COULD be her boyfriend, but he seemed a little too old...so assumed he was an older relative or co-worker.

I've been chatting with her online here and there, as with other women that is coming to this convention and I asked if she was flying solo.

She said that she was, but will be meeting up with a group of friends once she gets there.

Then I had asked her about dating and if she was single. She said, "No I have a boyfriend, he's on the cover of my FB page" and I said, "Oh, and you're coming without him?"

She said, "Well, he's 20 years older and isn't into the geek stuff I'm into." and I said, "Oh, I figured he was an older relative or co-worker or something.lol"

Then she kind of got a little on the defensive, saying "I hope you haven't been stalking me on FB, because I'm not there to get hit on."

And I said, "Oh, no...I don't mess around with taken women, I was just thinking that guy in your photo was someone else."

Although, I find it rather odd she'd travel across the globe without a sig. other in tow...regardless of his interests, yes?

I dunno, even if I wasn't into the same thing she was....I wouldn't be cool with a woman going without me...so that's always questionable. Sometimes I wonder if he's just her sugar daddy since he's 20 years older. Who knows, he could wind up tagging someone else while she's away while he funds her world travel. lol

She probably only THINKS she's in a relationship, yes?

I said, "Well, Im sure there are plenty of unattached ladies to talk to" and she said, "Well, the women don't go there to be 'hit on' they are there to have 'fun".

And I'm thinking, "Whatever, man...there's going to be thousands there...so who the F cares"

It seems women like to shame men into not approaching women in a venue other than a speed dating event or singles mixers.

"Don't approach us women because we're not THERE to be HIT ON!"

Of course you are....but only if he's cute enough, right?
 

"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.

Typical, stupid, woman. "Women are not there to get hit on". Women and men are everywhere to ALSO get hit on and they get hit on everytime, all the time. I mean, maybe you got the nerves to deal with this stupid *****, but I would not.

That´s why many people here always say never to listen to most women´s advice on women.

All that talk about not wanting to be hit on makes me think she's just traveling solo to just gobble the most cawcks she can.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

She sounds like an overly arrogant b!tch, bragging about her boyfriend so hard and telling you that she isnt there to be hit on

There is about as much chemistry between you both, as there was between the second Blues Brothers.

You can blame the woman, but from what I can understand, you are orbiting her. And you aren't even really flirting.

You even told her, "oh no - I don't do things like that!".

Come on now, mate....
I thought something alike.

Pook probably would have put it in that way: "...because I'm not there to get hit on." - means "because I am not there to get hit on by you!"
