"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.

Yup, I do the match.com thingie. It's got me one date, in like 4 months!! However i get plenty of winks every week, new ones. So i give it a day and e-mail the chick that winked. Keep the mail simple and try to set up an online chat with them. Usually, most of the e-mails dont even get a response. URGGGHHH


ANy suggestions on this would be great.
 

"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.

Give up on it.

The problem with online dating is that people look at a photo and profile and build up a fantasy impression in their mind, which they can quite literally fall in love with. Unfortunately, nobody can match upto this in real life and it nearly always ends in disappointment sooner or later.

Ditto...

BTDT and have the "shirt" to show I was their...

Not to mention the time wasted in pursuing like that...

Keep in mind (and this is not directed towards you) that if a chick is on a dating site there is a reason for it...

Whether that be she a "psycho"...."desperate" or whatever. It is not worth your time or effort to pursue that...

Some form of social network is still the best way. But it depends on your age. At an older age, online dating is less flaky (at least for me) because the girls are older and more serious. If you're still in college, then online match is just unneccessary.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Two of my good buddies (ages 35 and 40) got on match.com and hook up (read: fcuk or 3rd base) with a different girl about every week.

My suggestion to you is to take some pics of yourself using camera angles that bring out your best.

Good luck!
