"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.

Ive been using okcupid for a while now. My opener gets me a pretty good response rate.

lots of times the girls say 'that was ****ing amazing'

anyways. I usually push for their number pretty quick. Some give it. Others dont. But anyways. I can't seem to get any dates setup.

Advice?
 

"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.

How often are you messaging them? On day one and two you have to message enough to build some repor, but after that I try to taper back to a couple times a day and make them short. I don't push for the number ever or even ask for it. About 2/3 give it to me anyway.

As soon as I have the number I tell them I want to meet them, and when and where. Something like: I want to have coffe with you tomorrow at 4pm at Starbucks on 3rd. I had 5 different POF dates in January, kissed two and fvcked the sh!t out of one on Saturday.

I've used okcupid for about 2 months and got a number literally every time but once or twice. I gone out with all these chicks. You already got the opening line but I think maybe you work too quick. Take time to read over her profile and chat with her for about 3-5 days. Mention all the crap you see on her page and act like your interested(even if your not). After those 3-5 days set up a date as quick as you can. The more you chat after those initial days, the more your going to lose your mystique. Go for coffee, or a drink, and hope you have your balls in her mouth by nighttime...

I had the same problem. Could line dates up from POF at the snap of my fingers. Probably got 25-30 numbers in November when I rejoined it.

Got burned out with POF and tried OKC in December, got a few numbers, and the date or two I actually managed to line up, flaked on me.

My guess was two things: Higher quality women seem to frequent OKC, and likewise, higher quality men. So you're up against higher standards, and stiffer competition.

You're focusing too much on your opener. Focus more on your profile and game.

Also, you need to to realistic. Everyone likes to think they're more attractive than they really are, but for a guy in online dating it is just about impossible to date up. Just dating at your level is a challenge. A lot of guys who think they're 7-7.5 are actually more like a 6.5, and try to hook up with 7's or higher... then wonder why they can't get anything done. If you're really a 6.5 messaging a 7 or 8, **** by all means try but I hate to say it's not gonna happen. She might initially respond to a funny opener, but then be quickly distracted by the better looking dudes messaging her.

Its a numbers game. Its frustrating. And as many guys have mentioned here before it takes a while to get good. Read some of the online dating threads they are full of useful tips.

I only talk to girls who have messaged/and or visited my profile first. Those are the ones who actually want to meet as opposed to the attention wh0res.
