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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
The kid is in high school, you don't go to jail for fighting in high school. You get detention, suspension, and if you REALLY kick the **** out of them, expulsion, not jailGamblor said:If you think you can't go to jail for fighting you're dumb as ****.
I went to jail for less than a shove.
Assault is defined as any touching that is unwanted.
Oh, I get it you'd rather get suspended or expelled, for some stupid sh*t. Trust me, you're not going to get let off easy as detention for fighting. And with that mentality, if someone bullies you OUTSIDE of High School like a football game or just at the mall or something, you're most likely going to do the same thing and WILL go to jail. Just because you're in High School doesn't mean you can go to jail smart one. Just because you're in High School you're not protected from the law, you might get let off easier than an adult(If you're under 17), but they'll still put you in jail. I know a few dudes in my High School who have ALREADY been to jail.Kev07 said:The kid is in high school, you don't go to jail for fighting in high school.

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So use Kev07's mentality and if you get in a fight at a High School Sports event, don't say I didn't tell you so when you get arrested.
"But I'm in High School officer I can't go to jail!"
"Wrong kid, assault is against the law".
