"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'm still looking
Trying to become better with approaching women and having conversations I find myself hitting up the mall or some sort of enviornment with a lot of girls around. At this point I am not trying to number close, just to get over my approach anxiety is what I am working on.

Anyway, on Wensday I was at a clothing store looking for some new jeans and I see this chick (HB7) several feet away from me. I slowly make my way to her and initiate small talk for about 10-15 minutes and we go our sepeate ways. Then about 20 minutes later I see another girl (HB8) and talk to her too. I left the store feeling pretty good for what its worth...felt pretty confident as soon as I entered the store.

The very next day I went to the mall but the complete opposite happened...I felt like ****. I saw some good looking girls but I did not have the balls to approach one of them and felt like complete garbage the whole time I was there. I pretty much wasted one hour of my time leaving with my head held down. It just didn't click for me that day. I find this strange considering that I had a good time the day before.

This is not anything new. One day I will feel like Superman and the next day I feel like the guy that Superman beat the crap out of. I present myself the best I can every time I go out. Maybe I need to approach more girls in more of a secluded area compared to a busy place like a mall. I don't know...I just find this odd.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yes, I know what you mean. However, think of your confidence as fluctuating like the stock market: it'll go up and down, but the main thing is that it keeps moving up.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
Yup human confidence is affected by success and failure rates and external influence and opinions of others... NO normal person can maintain high confidence we all have up and down days..

The strong people are those who can pull them selves up easily and quickly and or conceal lack of confidence so others cant see it and judge them....
