"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

By now you all know I am the number one enemy of marriage on this site!

RacerX and Westcoaster... dead on as usual

If you only knew how much I regret my marriage and family mistake!

I could be retired from the Army right now and living on the beach somewhere with a reasonable pension... instead my ex wife will be getting half and I am faced with possible time in Iraq or Afghanistan.

If that doesn't scare the chumps away from marriage, I don't know what will.

But they won't listen... they listen to their hormones instead.

"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 32, and have not had an LTR for seven years. Since becoming a DJ, I've confronted the fact (it's always best to confront your fears) that I might not ever get married or have children - and to be honest, it does not seem all that bad.

Someone pointed out that people follow popular tv culture like a life script, and this is certainly true of marriage. Most people seem to chase the ideal of being 'happily married'.

As Mick Jagger famously sang 'all of these people just can't wait/To walk right into their big mistake'.

I am certainly NEVER going to marry UNLESS it is to a woman who understands what marriage actually is - ie, NOT a fairy tale chick lit pantomime of endless 'romance' - but a social, civil and religious contract, mainly intended for the upbringing of legitimate children. They will also need to understand that marriage has its ups and downs (for better, for worse) and that it will not always be a smooth ride.

However, as the chances of meeting such a woman are virtually zero, I think I am likely to stay single.
