"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.

While returning from work I noticed a cute HB7.5 with an asian friend at the subway station. I didn't approach her because for some reason I felt panick and shock. The train came and I sat in a double seat near the window. Guess what, the hottie sat next to me! And her asian friend right in front of me. She began looking at things in my direction as if looking out of the window on my side. I faced her, established EC and said HI. We had a small chitchat, like what's your name, what college do you go to... etc. I talked equally to the hottie and her Asian girlfriend. JUST as I was nearing the phone close, the asian chick said "We got to get off at this stop". The hottie and Asian chick said bye to me and left the train before I could say anything. D'OH! Please give me your insights of how you would've handled this. During that time I haven't used C&F at all as I was barely coming up with things to say to them without being boring.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I've never been in this situation but hers my arm chair theory on how to play this:

1]Attack her as soon as she sits next to you.

2]Ask her where is she heading. This allows you to know how much time you have to spit game.

3]Sparringly Involve the friend in the conversation.

4]Ask if she has a bf in the manner that your style of PU calls for.

5]Go for the digit 1-2 stops before hers.


That is my guess as to how to play this one.

The problem with subway rides is that unless you are both on it for a while (at least 5-6 stops), you can't really build rapport. Tough break.

Id go that route the same week, if their IL is high enough you might catch em again, in which case you have to sarge em good and hard.

Yea, i wouldve just yelled "hey let me get your number before you walk out of my life forever!" lol
I'm certain the hottie liked me and sat next to me intentionally. Or maybe by the end of convo the hottie gave her friend a cue to pull out the troops...
