"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 you have a lighter?

When a hb asks you this, how to use it as a beginning of social interaction?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

If you smoke, "what are you smoking?"

If you don't, "negative, but I wouldn't mind small talk with a cutie"

Don't always be looking for the perfect line, just smile and be a normal human being.

hb: do you have a lighter?
pua: your place or mine?

p.s. you have to make EC and modulate your voice.

Just make conversation like a normal human being...

Best place to pull on a night out is the fag shelter, even if you don't smoke (like me). Just take a lighter and stand outside with your mates to get fresh air. A bird is bound to ask for a lighter and there you are, a chance to start conversation.
 

"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.

It's the safest opener, I use it sometimes when I can't think of anything to say and when I see an HB in the smoking area/club. not the best opener, but probably the safest as it's so normal

"well if you share a smoke with me, i might. "

"sorry. i usually dont date smokers"

"nice pickup line. but please dont tell me now that you love my blue eyes, that would be too cheesy"

or while lighting her cig simply ask her a question. about the place, about what she is doing, make an observation (about her) , anythin like that
