"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.

Hey DJ's - Here's one that bothered me last night, and I know you're up to the challenge.

The background: I had dinner with a girl who I've known for several years, though nothing physical or romantic was ever in the picture. I know some of you think having friend-girls is not helpful, but it's important in my line of work to network a lot. The two of us have a good working relationship, but it so happens that we do run in similar social circles.

During dinner, I said that next week I'd be going back to school for my second MBA year, and that I need to keep the partying to a minimum on Saturday night.

Her response was "Really? I haven't seen you lately at any of the events." My response was to give her a frowning "Huh?" look, as if she didn't know what the **** she was talking about. Then she said, "Oh, well maybe you're going to different places than I am."

OK folks - Is there anything implied in what she's saying, or am I over-analyzing?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If anything, it means she either notices you or thinks about you (at least a little bit). Otherwise, she'd not notice your absence. Generally I take such comments in a positive light.

Overanalyzing.

Like Bonhomme said take it in a positive light. Hell, you might learn of some new places to check out.

You're reading too much into it.

Casual comment in a casual conversation, but the fact that she's noting your presence (at least in passing) indicates there's hookup potential if you ever pursue it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What happened is you missed an opportunity to find out exactly how interested in you she is.

You could have smiled at her and said something like, "Would you have liked to see me at more parties?"

Or you could have negged her and said, "Well, that's because I've been avoiding you, " followed by a smirk. "I dont do well with stalkers."

Every time a woman speaks is an opportunity for you. Your success depends on how you handle those opportunities.
