"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 play any sports?"
- Thread starter bladeux
- Start date
"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.
'Nah, i visit the gym instead. Saves time and this way all my muscles get exercised.'
But dude, some sort of physical exercise / sport is a must. So if you don't play a sport you should be workin out (if you're old enough)
So just make up something like "I used to wrestle, but I messed up my shoulder and can't do it anymore." This creates interest because the girls might see it as very masculine that you were injured doing something macho like wrestling.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Solution: Pick up a sport.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Because you don't comform to what a girl wants... you do what makes you happy!
Plus, you can lie and say you lift weights or run every day. HOw would they find out? Who even cares?
I tell people I box... I don't... hahah.

Oh wrestling is tough. 2 men, one MAN. I used to play football too. A 6 minute wrestling match takes more from your body than an entire game. Its one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports out there.Originally posted by Soniq_red
Man, wrestling is fun/
And for the original poster, I am a computer guy. But that doesnt effect my ability to pick up women. Just find a couple more hobbies. Find something a guy friend does, but you dont, and try it out.
Oh, and if a girl is shallow enough to judge you by whether you play sports or not, she isnt worth the time.
