"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

Haha! I agree.Originally posted by Le Parisien
Asking this kind of question and giving your answer to the question already places you in the AFC category.
Actually, it's pretty normal for guys who first become aware of the idea of what an AFC is to become hyperaware of AFC characteristics in themselves and others and label certain things "AFC" and avoid those things.
When I first got here a few years back people would always post topics like "What's the most AFC kind of music?" From there it went to discussions about whether certain fictional characters like Peter Parker or Anakin Skywalker were DJ's or AFC's. Anyway, it was kind of funny.
But, like I said, it's a normal stage to go through.

Completely off-topic, but Peter Parker is actually supposed to be an AFC. They created him that way so he would appeal to the people that buy the comics (the majority of which are probably AFC's). Marvel Comics wanted people to be able to relate to Spiderman more than DC Comics' superheroes such as Batman or Superman, who display more alpha male traits.Originally posted by SexPDX
