"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.

I felt bad because I got grumpy with some random chick. I think I might have yelled because I was upset about something that was really trivial. She was just the checkout girl. She was calm, but I felt so bad about it afterwards.

So next time I see her, I am SUPER friendly. "How are you doing today?" I say with a big smile. "huh?" "I said how are you today?"

"Oh! I thought you said 'it's you again!'

I start laughing. She had thought she had done something to upset me and I didn't want to see her again. Anyway, she seems really sad, so I keep chatting with her until she smiles.

Anyway, what turned me on is how vulnerable she seemed. She didn't blame me for the incident, but herself instead. Anyway, she's got a big wedding ring she rocks, but I'll still be friendly and flirt with her, cuz I like her!

You boys need to override your instincts to protect women it will lead to "captain save a ho" as it's called here. It is OK to help someone who is drowning etc. BUT, trying to save a woman from trouble of her own making? It is in our nature to ride up on the white horse to save the day,but when you get that idea, shoot your horse,BBQ it,buy some beer and invite your friends over. They will appreciate it more than the woman will and it will cost you less in money and emotions.

Here's a rap song with good lyrics for any aspiring AFC savior types out there to pay heed to.

Ha,ha,this is funny...and also true at the same time.

Buy,I'm doling out the reps tonight.

+1 rep.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Kody raised a very good point and SODBUSTER, everyone was quoting you how can I miss out the fun. LOL.

Good post. Some actually do it on purpose, in fact many of them. So don't fall for it.

Wow and I've never eaten horse meat before, is it good?
