"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.

So a friend of a friend got dumped by her boyfriend on sunday. They went out for about a month and a half. So I'm thinking "now she's single, and pretty cute, I should go after her."

How long should I wait to let her get over her ex before I move in and ask her out?

EDIT: I was thinking of asking her out for Valentines day... too early?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Im sure other guys that know her are thinking the exactly samething. Some of them arent going to waste time, some of them are going to wait without putting themselves in a position where she even thinks of them....this is where you come in. Dont give her all the attention that others guys that wanna get in her pants are going to give her because youll be lumped in the same group with them. Instead stand out, flirt with her and make her wonder. Shell think of you differently than the other chumps who dove in head first. Run some game then pull back a little...rinse and repeat as necessary.

Totally. There is this dude who goes to UT San Antonio (we go to University of Texas in Austin... about 2 hours away) who totally has his **** in his hand over her. He's rushing over here this weekend to comfort her and generally be a bleeding vagina. I talked to her while passing between classes and she asked me to hang out with them during the weekend, to which I declined because, well, lets face it, that's pretty ****ing lame.

So, yeah, I of course want to avoid the initial rush of people trying to get in her pants... it's just, should I try to make the valentines day thing work, or just self the idea and put my **** in my pocket? Love Day is a tuesday this year, remember.

They dated 1.5 months. There's no waiting time for that. You can move straight in, although I doubt that's a smart move. Your intentions would be too obvious.

Ask her to hang out, not on a date. Run your game on her, push&pull. Make sure she doesn't know if she can have you or not. Flirt, kino, escalate..baddabing-baddaboom...she's naked :D

hang out, not date, got it.

So... movie and dinner, not going to lake travis and rowing to the middle of the lake for champaign.
 

"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.
