"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.

Could I have done anything different/better?

Hey all,

learning to build my confidence and approach more. I can hold a decent conversation so long as the girl is interesting and offers enough 'hooks' to keep the momentum going.

Anyway, this morning I got off the train and saw this average looking girl just ahead of me. As I came in line with her the conversation went like this

Me: How's it going?
Her: good (she gave me a slight annoyed look)
Me: Big night? (It was about 8 in the morning so thought she might have been getting the train back from a big night out
Her: not really (same look)

After this I just ignored her and walked ahead. She obviously wasn't interested. So, could I have done anything different/better?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Don't post the same thing twice to get a reply. That's annoying. It's late on a Friday night. You probably won't get too many replies. I've already taken one of my girls home because I wanted to spend some damn time alone. Then I get on here and give you a little help without any appreciation, and you become impatient.

your FR lasted about 2 secs past the opener. then you prematurely ejected yourself because you overanalyzed her body language

don't worry about this one. just keep approaching, keep the momentum going

Sorry tick37, forgot I'd already posted this haha. Just tired, but thanks heaps for your original response. I need to be able to be more 'to the point' like that.

Too many beers, eh?
 

"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.
