"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.

A woman for example, cheats on her long-term boyfriend b/c she became unhappy with their relationship after a few years of dating. She breaks up with him right after she has cheated, but never tells the bf she cheated on him. Could cheating be justified in this type of situation?

In that situation no its not but cheating can be justified. Others will most certainly disagree.

No it can't.

But I think cheating can be justified in the minority of situations, maybe abusive relationships/blackmail whatever but I can't say I've personally met anyone in these situations.

Cheating is usually carried out by people with low confidence. They are needy, selfish people who would like to have their cake and eat it too. Instead of being fair and be upfront to their significant other, they'd rather go around hiding things. These people don't want to be in a relationship, but the only way they can satisfy their neediness is to be in one.

If you're spinning plates, there shouldn't be a need to cheat.

I say this as someone who cheated 3 or 4 times as a major AFC in my younger years.
 

"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.

It can never be justified. Since at any time, the woman can break up with the boyfriend before sex is introduced.
