"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.

I have problems with conversations with people that I don't closely know. Aquaintance-likes get all quiet around me very often. I'm not obnoxious or very talkative myself. I almost have to force a conversation and extort answers to break the silence. Many times I find myself being the most talkative one with such people. A lot of my conversations are awkward ones and are not very reflective. It puts a lot of burden on me since I find myself having to talk the most. All i get in return is the short down to fact answers. It may be that I just don't have much to talk about with these people. In order to be interesting one has to be interested right? Well, it doesn't look like any of these people that I try talk to have much to say to me.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Don't ever feel the need to be the one who needs to impress people - be yourself!

I'm trying to improve my people skills so I guess it's not so natural for me. I can't smalltalk unless it's premeditated.

Be more observant of your surroundings and in tune with what is going on in the wotld - there is a whole lot to talk about!
