"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 in a bank a couple days and I'm at the teller counter when I notice an incredible blond staffer heading out the front door. I finish up a minute or two later and go outside. The parking lot is relatively empty and I spot the blond in her car. I walk to my car and get in before I tell myself not to be a p*ssy and and go ask her out. I walk over and notice she is smoking, which is a huge turnoff, but I'm already there so game on. I start out with "Hi, I'm ... I then ask her why she didn't offer me an auto or home loan with a smile as a joke. I don't really know if she caught that I was joking around though. I then ask her out and she responds with "I'm dating someone and I don't like dating multiple guys."
Looking back my attempt at a joke about a loan fell flat, but I'm glad I did it. I got some validation for asking her though and that always gives me more confidence for the next one. Any thoughts?
 

"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.

Dear Sing Agn,
I think you did well.....In many ways a text Book approach...You showed initiative,statistically you need to approach several,maybe five or so before you hit the Jack Pot...End of the Day she felt good,and you improved your game...Keep us informed on future enterprises!

Every time you approach a woman, you lower your approach anxiety and sharpen your conversation & flirting skills. You also thicken your skin when it comes to rejection.

Keep doing it! As long as you don't take the rejection personally, nothing bad can come from approaching.

If she smokes she pokes haha. Dont be so quick to disqualify the smokers. But you had the balls to approach so not all is lost.
 

"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.

If you hadn't approached her, I bet you would be beating yourself up right now.

She loved it that you approached and talked to her. You just made someone else's day.

There is no failure here.

Agreed 100%, nice job OP.

Once in a blue moon I get approached and yes it absolutely makes my day! Even if they were fugly it would probably make my day....js

At first it feels really awkward, but it happens to chicks more often so I would imagine they handle the awkwardness a lot better.

Thanks for the motivation OP, I'm going to get out there today and try it.
