"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.

For Uber-DJ's only:

I've been dating a super hot Latina babe (34 yr. old) for about 5 weeks now. I call her or text her maybe once/week to set something up and then plan a fun date.

Lot's of ****y/funny and overt-confidence has her basically eating out of my hand. I'm dating around but don't talk about it much; she has been pumping me for info re: how many other girls I'm seeing to which I reply (chidingly), "none of your bee's wax."

I nailed her last week (wow) and she stayed over.

I don't want things to get too comfortable so I'm thinking about cancelling our date for Friday night because "something came up" as to keep the tension line taught. Plus, I just feel like my game is off right now. Kind of like Brett Favre on Monday Night; an All-Pro who had a bad game.

Any DJ thoughts much appreciated

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Rock, I personally don't think it is constructive to cancel dates just to build tension. It would be more appropriate not to have made it in the first place.

Since you have now known her in the Biblical sense, you could perhaps let your personality do the talking, rather than concentrate on gaming her. Besides I think the timing of your move might be wrong. Anyway, you should consider your rationale for using such a tactic in the first place.

I don't know. I've gotten away with cancelling the first date and rescheduling with a few girls, but in this case I would do what you want.

That is, I wouldn't cancel it just to build interest. It could backfire.

I would go out with her. The iron is hot. I think you are lacking some confidence about your game though, so before you go out with her talk with some of your other girls on the phone.

Good point Ricky--thanks.

I'm better in the underdog role. This chick (a 9+) is infatuated with me right now so I feel like there's only way to go, kind of like the NE Patriots.

Heck, even Brett Favre and Tom Brady need to mentally prepare before each game. You cannot be "on" and "up" 100% of the time.

I've found cranking up some Dokken or Skid Row and/or a Tony Robbins CD does wonders about an hour before a date with a hottie.

Lol ... Dokken

Maybe I should try that. I bombed on a date last night... I should have cranked up the Scorpions before I went. :woo: :crackup:
 

"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.

Funny I listen to music to get in state for many of the same reasons, and fun 80's hair bands are some of the best to do it.

only break dates like this if you are breaking them to go out with another chick who's either hotter and/or who has more interest. or break it, if you really don't want to see her on that particular night.

otherwise, it's probably 50/50 that it will backfire on you.
