"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.

In highschool, even while I was still an AFC in learning, I remember giving a handshake to one of the natural chads. He corrected me by saying "if you're gonna shake my hand, do it properly and make sure the thumbs latch onto eachother."

But nowadays, dudes give each other fist bumps. The way I see it, fist bumps are given by bosses and owners to their lowly employees. I can understand being at a gathering and then having to leave right away and giving quick fist bumps to your homies before heading out, but...fist bumps during greetings just irks me.

Proper hand shake at minimum to the men you respect. When I'm seeing my boys, it's ALWAYS a handshake followed by the millennial bro hug.
 

"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.
