"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.

Man so today i made soup and put cauliflower in there, including the stem leaves

Man those taste interesting. Reminds me slightly of chewing on the stem of a fresh cannabis stem. It had a similar taste

I do not use cannabis but i used to. The cooked cauliflower stem/leaves have an interesting taste, like vitamins i needed are contained in there

Try it out sometime

I cooked mine in a simple hot soup with other ingredients
 

"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.

Hi Bible Belt,
Intrigued to read you grow Mustard Greens,so do I,and also include in my morning Soup....Have you tried Collards?They are the closest relative to Atlantic Cabbage/Kale that grows Wild on the Atlantic Sea Shore,Assuming like me,you are of Anglo/Celt extraction,Linus Pauling in his Nobel Prize Thesis on Vit C,opined that our Ancestors ate as much as 3.5 pounds a day of this stuff,as they foraged along the shore line during the Long Northern Winter...What don't fatten,surely fills Yuck....While Mustard is grown a lot here usually mixed with Land Cress,Collards are virtually unknown but worth the effort of growing as they quickly naturalise.

Very interesting. Always looking for different dietary ideas
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Just fyi, kale is great, but a lot of it coming out of California is contaminated with a heavy metal called Thallium. Organic is worse. Some smoothie aficionados have gotten ill from it.

I’m ditching the organic kale then and just use baby spinach in my smoothie
