"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.

Anybody got any active tips for conversation here? I stink at it. I dry up. Anybody got any activities that might help me improve. I am trying to talk to assistants in shops etc. Anybody got any other tips?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

The best advice I could give you is TALK TO PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. Talk to guys as well as girls. Talk to all age groups.

Be the fun, friendly guy who talks to everyone. This is the sort of guy who gets laid!

Talk to people in shops, when waiting for the bus/train, when waiting in a queue or line, etc. Say something funny and make them laugh, or just some small talk and ask how their day is going or what they're up to today. Basically, don't be that silent guy who never talks to anyone. Stand out and be different.

If you get used to being a social guy, you will naturally be talkative with women, therefore more confident around them.

Hope that helps.

Think of it as though you are a talk show host interviewing a guest. I recently realized that the things you say and questions you ask shouldn't be for the sake of actual information. Just for entertainment. This sounds wierd but it's the best way to go with people you aren't familiar with.

Do you ever listen to Public Radio?

A really good example of this is the Michael Feldman show on NPR when he talks to audience members. His job is to entertain the listener at home and he manages to do that by asking regular audience people about the quirks of mundane parts of their lives.

Pay close attention to their choice of words. If you can find an alternate meaning in them, take it instead of what they meant. I think it was John Cleese said, miscommunication can be the best form of humor. Don't even bother with crappy small talk responses like 'that's pretty good' or whatever, unless you really can't think of anything else to say. Try to relate what they say to a weird story or something that you know.
