"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.

If it means get one night stands with hot girls, hell yeah!
If it means sustaining a healthy long term relationship, hell no!
I agree with this.
But again it also depends on what AFCish behavior we are talking about. Just bear in mind that behaviors that are perceived as AFCish by some people are NOT necessarily "truely AFCish" and might be smooth moves. Hope people understand what I mean on this one...
"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.
There are plenty of good looking guys on this site, but why do you think they came here?
I'm fortunate to have good looks, height, physique and general appearance on my side, and even though I've always got more initial female attention than my friends, I've been through more failed relationships, failed dates and been with less women than many guys a lot worse looking, scruffier, shorter and fatter than myself. Why? Because I used to be an AFC and a supplicating wuss and it's a literal turn off to women!
It's only since I've changed my personality/mental state and become more confident and adept at handling women, that I'm where I want to be.
An AFC can stimulate her mind if he's willing to pay for everything. Even though the girl and the guy's intellect is somwhere around high school (no offense, ****ers who are under 21, you ****ers clog this forum, ****ers) if he's all about money he doesn;t have to work as hard as the guy who doesn't have money. It's a tradeoff sometimes.

Damn, how it would be awesome to look like him.
"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.
