"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.

Hello,

You know, its interesting how often I find myself going back to this forum throughout my life. I wont reveal exactly how long Ive known about this website, except to say that I am almost 31 now, and first came here as an angsty teenager in the early 2000's who didn't know anything about women.

I'm not a particularly great looking guy. I am 5'7 (short), and I shave my head completely instead of combating the baldness in my family by trying to cling to the hair I have left. I do workout though and keep a good diet, so I'm in decent physical shape.

During my early 20's I had a quite a lot of success with women, dating and/or ****ing over 20 during the span of a few years. This is a good fact to remind myself of when I hear all the complainers on this board talking about how attraction has solely to do with being a tall male model - it isn't true whatsoever.

Around 25 it started to slow down, and I found myself in an LTR that lasted four years. I'm not particularly upset about the break up anymore, because the relationship was deteriorating to the point where there were serious problems (long story which I will not get into).

Now, I'm back in the dating world, and its almost like Ive lost my edge. I am getting numbers but unfortunately hardly getting dates - the only exception for now is recently getting recruited for the website Tawkify to go on a blind date with one of their clients.

I was about 70% expecting this to be a total bust with an uninteresting woman, because after all, what kind of attractive woman would actually pay this website to set her up with dates because any such woman could easily find dates without spending the money.

I was wrong! I actually really liked this woman, she pressed the right buttons physically, and the conversation flowed for over 2 hours. We exchanged numbers and a text after the dinner.

I guess I just need people to give me a wake up call and remind me not to oneitis this woman, because I'm actually quite surprised I like her this much, and I dont have that many other immediate prospects at the moment. I also need dating ideas in San Francisco (the dreaded city where men overpopulate women), for when I call her next week mid-week to try to set up date #2.

Cheers
 

"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.

Try spinning more plates. It is just a normal Illusion after coming out of a LTR and then meeting a girl you kinda click with. Happened to me too.

Here a little reminder you asked for
