"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.

Four girls saying I'm intelligent, funny, mysterious, elusive and agreeing on it...

Last night while I was going to the fitness center, I rode with 4 girls who would constantly try to ask me personal questions and kept giving me cute nicknames the entire time we were there.

The tagged me as an intelligent person and wondered if I was some sort of computer person. I'd just give them ****y funny answers to everything they said to me the entire time, but wouldn't give them direct answers to their questions.

Like for example....

Girl: what color do you like?
Me: I don't play favorites. I like them all, they are like my children.

Girl: Are you dating?
Me:Hmm, these are personal questions..

Girl: Do you have a girlfriend?
Me: Yeah, I carry her around in a card-board box; she's the mini variety.

Girl: Are you married, then?
Me: Not anymore! I want a divorce...
Girl: From me?
Me: [sarcastic]I just can't handle the abuse anymore....

Girl: So what did you do tonight?
Me: I saw the sights, met new people, explored my options...

Girl: Do you have a car?
Me: I remember back in the day that I didn't have wheels. It sort of sucked.
Girl: [excited expression and voice tone] do you ever take any passengers?
Me: When they are out to do the things I like to do, yes.
Girl: Where do you go?
Me: As long as they enjoy my company and I enjoy theirs that's insignifigant.

After about a half hour of this they eventually started begging me for direct answers and said that I was elusive and mysterious, and were always hanging around me the entire time.

Well, tonight I ran into all of them at a school party and I struck up a conversation with them, and I told them I use to be a computer science major, and they reconfirmed that I looked intelligent.

I wasn't doing the ****y funny as much, so I asked them if they ment intelligent as in "intelligent intelligent" or "only intelligent".

One of the girls said that she would be content with whatever I perfered (escape question)

I said "intelligent intillegent is what I perfered" and walked off.

Well, I walked back by them to go to the water fountain and two started to folllow me to direct me back to their group saying"

Girls: Ohhh, come back with us, all the people are in the other direction.

They blocked my path to the water fountain so I said:

Me: Wow, do you two make a hobby of following me around? You know, for stalker girls you two are pretty cute..

They giggled and ran off, and didn't say much of anything else to me the rest of the night except for a hello or two.

I think I did alright, except that I'm not really interested in the girls and was basically using them for practice.

They seem to find me interesting atleast.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You gave it to them when you called them cute.

I don't normally ask for numbers, since these girls live in the dorm acrost the street from mine. I can just call the school operator.

Didn't kiss any of them.

If you are caught having sex at my school you can get expelled.
 

"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.

This is the confession of a square. For reals. Why are you using these techniques, if you don't wanna bag these chicks. And you have to balance C/F grasshopper. You're giving them complex smart answers on every question they ask. Thats kinda being a jerk.

I know ... And they were eating it up the entire time I was doing it.

You're right that my c&f isn't always balanced, which is why I am practicing on girls that find me interesting, but I feel nothing for so if I screw up I am not losing anything I consider entirely valuable.

I don't think so.
He didn't say they were gorgeous. He said they were cute. It'll make them wonder like most guys here would.

"He said we're cute. Does he mean 'cute' is an little sister cute? Does he think I'm cuter than you (her friend)? What does he mean with cute? Would he go out with a girl he finds cute?"

Girls analyze these things much more than most guys would so it will make them think and wonder about him.
Since he already started out being mysterious, I don't see how this would blow his chances.

rgeere: I think you were doing great and it was a good practise. Keep it up.

I thought the cute wasnt too bad, he was being evasive, they knew what he was after. Then he accused them of being stalkers but balanced it out. :D
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
