"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.

Do women you meet interrogate you?

If you're like me, you've noticed a trend where if you meet a woman who is interested in you, she will immediately start trying to pry into your life - often with no tact whatsoever. Tonight I met an older lady who, though attractive, really annoyed me by immediately asking:

1) Why are you in this city?
2) Where do you work?
3) How many employees do you have?
4) So you only have one investor?
5) Do you live with your parents?
6) Are you financially stable?
7) Why have you never been married by age 40?
8) Why did you break up with your last girlfriend?
9) Why do you have a cat?
10) Are you being honest with me?

And this is when they like you enough to go and get a table away from the bar with you.

The whole thing was with the most negative tone, as if she had been lied to by a million guys and had to assume I was lying about everything. There is absolutely no wiggle room - if you say one thing they don't like (like you have a cat) they want to categorize you (no pun intended). You visibly observe their interest level go down.

I have nothing to hide - and though I tried to keep the focus on her, I didn't try to interrogate her about her financial situation. She's the one who was twice married and has two kids.

Has anyone else observed this trend?

"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.

If they ask, they are interested and sizing you up for a potential mate or just sex.

The trick is to limit the info you give them in order to maintain mystery.

There is a difference between "asking some questions" and asking private details such as "how many investors and employees does your small business have".

There are questions and then there is gold-digging, blatant prying. I'm getting tired of the latter.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Some older women turn into Sherlock Holmes when they meet a guy. It gets annoying sometimes.

1) Why are you in this city?

I live here.

2) Where do you work?

I just say what I do. I NEVER tell anybody WHERE I work until I really get to know them.

3) How many employees do you have?

N/A

4) So you only have one investor?

Umm ok?

5) Do you live with your parents?

What if your parents are elderly?

6) Are you financially stable?

Yes. Bernake said things will turn around by the last quarter of 2008 lol.

7) Why have you never been married by age 40?

Finding the right person isn't easy.

8) Why did you break up with your last girlfriend?

She was texting this guy at 2am lol.

9) Why do you have a cat?

You can never have too much p*ssy lol.

10) Are you being honest with me?

I volunteer for a polygraph test.

And this is when they like you enough to go and get a table away from the bar with you.

Yes, it's common with older women, especially if they are single mothers.

Some of the insecure or crazy women grill you like this. This one girl i'm trying to get rid of did that to me. Wanted to know everything about me and wanted a relationship really fast too.

I didn't know you were a woman FairyShake.

Only men who question their sexuality are afraid to admit they like cats - the most independent, low maintenance pet available.

I just joking before. In all seriousness, I think cats are great pets. They are quiet, low maintenance.

Most women are more into dogs these days. I don't like dogs. I don't like the barking, or having to walk them or take them outside to sh*t. Give me a cat any day.

Canada, eh?
She just wants a provider and the real deal. They actually try to trip you up on some questions. It's a way of being direct for older women, to rationalize seeing you. No questions= no interest. Sometimes they do it to appear as if they build raport with you, but the questions remain general.

What is the vibe you are giving off and how do you present yourself? The few women that have approached me in such a fashion I found to be a turn off and blatantly lied as a response to every question until they got frustrated and either chilled out or moved on.

blanket generalizations are great. Here's one. A guy with more than one cat is a weirdo. Why? Because every guy I know with more than one cat is a weirdo. LOL.

No, because I control the frame and turn and walk the other way from such women.

Feminine submissive respectful women for me only please.

The ONLY reason women interrogate a man or attempt to in my case is because they are trying to find an angle to work to get the upper hand on you but in addition to that its a dominance game.

As a man you don't want that.

As a man YOU are to be the one in control NOT her.

You CAN win such a game with her by ignoring her questions and making a cuttingly witty alpha remark that gets under her skin and makes her laugh but I find women that even feel the need to play this sort of game tedious as well confused over which gender they are.

As a man I want a girl NOT a pushy MAN with t!ts.

My last LTR started out with her texting me 3 questions per day, but her questions were endearing somehow - "Are you a playboy?" - "Do you prefer blondes or brunettes?" - things like that. I looked forward to getting her questions every day. When I passed the audition she wrote "One last question: Are you a good cuddler?"

But some women are like: "Do you own or rent?" and "What kind of interest rate did you get on your car loan?" When women ask those questions right away, watch out.
