"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.

"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.

I'm guessing you live way outside of the city or something similar where a car is a little more necessary?
I do think, though, that because of where you live, it's a little more acceptable to be "car-less", just as in San Francisco or Chicago.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Crisco where do you live in NY? If its five boroughs you can probably get a small car.
Kailex for some reason most people say they dont need a car in NYC - but I lived there for 23 years. It can slightly lower your status a bit even in the five boroughs. Im not really too sure why - but alot of the younger kids still want cars and dont want to rely on public transportation (which is amazing btw - try living in another city and you will quickly notice that the MTA is far superior to most transit operations)
I still have friends that ask me if they should get a car - and I tell them hell no. Cabs are still cheaper if you need to do it.

"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Haha! I personally don't like them but, some of the hipster-looking chicks dig them!Serialized3 said:yeah but riding a moped is like riding a fat chick, right ...
Hey Crissco, are you sure the car is absolute must? When my brother lived in the city, he really didn't see a need for having a car. You can use public transportation to get everywhere. Unless, like Kailex said, you live in a different part where a car is a must.
Will it be difficult to date without a car? Yeah, I'm sure. Especially with girls whose IL is marginal. However, the ones with really high IL will date you without a car. They'll do whatever it takes (ride public transportation) to be with you.
I don't know how old you are but, like Serialized has already mentioned, you might want to look into a used motorcycle. You cannot believe how much young girls like them!

So if Crissco is dating within Long Island, he'd most likely need a car. If he's dating someone from the City, most likely, he wouldn't. It all depends on the situation.
Just save up man.
Give her some BS about how f*ckin green you are and your carbon footprint and global warming and all.....
Gives you lots of BS to talk to her about....(study a little about it first)
Makes you look principled, like you have a belief system, confidence, a sense of mission and self.....
You're a stand up guy who doesn't care how others live and what they think.....
This also explains why you don't have what you (really) think is one of the basic things a man should have....a f*ckin car
OR.......
If it's that important .....
Spend some time getting your life, self, mission, confidence, together .....get a decient job, your own apt, and ....a car
Either way will work....
Move on from there.....
Only as important as YOU make it ......
Over and Out.
What about a moped?
Oh and there is nothing that can "lower your status" unless you let it. If you think that not having a car will lower your status then it will only do so because you chose to let it.
If a girl asks why you don't have a car then just tell her the truth; if she doesn't accept that then next the b!tch because she's worthless.
