"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.

from my experience, they usually want validation. if i'm feeling daring, i'll motion them to come closer as if i'm going to whisper something, then move in for the kiss. it gets a great reaction when you say "That should answer your question." or something to that effect.

otherwise i'd do exactly what HandyAndy did, tease them mercilessly :p

i find though that the chicks that ask this are usually the ones who dress up a bit more (or less), use more makeup, and basically try and look prettier from the outset.

Also i find guys get asked this question more often when they're in the middle of a good gaming period, sort of like teh chick sees the higher value and wants to be judged by it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah if you said it with a cheeky smile and a sarcastic tone, plus she is pretty you did all what is asked of you in the attraction game, even if she is a friend its good to keep yourself and them on their toes.. I think someone said you wouldnt like it if you asked someone if you were handsome and they said no, but if they said it in the same sarcastic ****y funny way you did, then it would convey as "she knows I'm attractive but is playing with me"
So yeah you did nothing wrong...But you know that and she wanted the answer you gave..in the tone you gave it!!

I always thought that was the "kiss me" line. She's obviously looking for validation; it's a win-win.
Well we were in class, no kiss :nono: lol

Never heard of the kiss me line either

Well see, we've been friends, and only friends for a little over 2 years, I knew her back in middle school too. I dont have any feelings for this girl, so I wouldnt have wanted to go in for the kiss.

It would have been extremely awkward since I think of her just as a friend, and I dont get many IOIs from here either, plus we were in class :)
