"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.

Has anyone else here seen this movie with Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Sarah Michelle Gellar? After watching it, I was like whoa... Sebastian, played by Ryan, is the man! First thing that came to my mind was master don juan. The guy can manipulate any girl.... I recommend renting this if yall have never seen the movie.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I saw this a long time ago, don't remember much. I love the song by the verve that is played at the end though, "bittersweet symphony". Awesome fit with the situation.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Sebastian is actually a well established Don Juan. At the end, he stuck up for everything he was and lost his one true love. He was busy playing the game and wasn't ready to actually find Her. I think many of us have gone/will go through that. He then did everything in his power to correct what happened. But it was too late.

Great movie.

Great movie.

But the reason he fails (or kind of succeeds after his death) is because he is wrapped around Sarah Michelle's breats. He wants what he can't have (like most of us) and is driven to desperation by it, she out wits him as she knows exactly what he wants. She is a challenge and plays all his games back to him, the perfect foil for Ryan Phillipe.

In fact i think he is weak, he does not have any interest in th girls he seduces, it is a game to him, but like any game, eventually his luck and skill fail him. In addition, he does not have to destroy people in order to get where he is. He cares about his reputation and when it looks in danger of crumbling because he has been unable to seduce someone (Reese), he falls easy prey to Sarah MGs revenge scheme.
