"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've been chatting with a girl on Okcupid. We had talked about meeting up for coffee today but she couldn't bc she has to work but she said she was off tuesday. So I said that's cool, we can tuesday then. Well that was 2 days ago and she hasn't sent anything back yet. I don't know if i should message her or not. I didn't try to get her number yet bc some people on here said it would be better to set up the date first and then get the number. So what should I do? Any help 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.

My rules on OKC:

1. Establish contact right away with a message that puts yourself above the rest. I tend towards really ridiculous and hilarious with obvious flirting. Do what works for you.
2. Send 1-2 messages back and forth. Keep it short, aloof and tons of joking around and flirting. Get the number.
3. Text her one time to establish contact and let her know it's you. After she responds set up the date.

The timeframe is irrelevant as it will depend on response time from her, but you should keep your response time about the same as hers. Follow the above steps and you'll see better results. On OKC you have to move fast, as soon as you put yourself above the rest take advantage of the situation; girls' interest declines insanely fast over OKC because of the fact that they're reading words on a computer screen. Get them in person ASAP and you'll be more successful.

Regarding this situation specifically, she sounds like a lost cause. I'd quit wasting my time if I were you.

Yea I was trying to get the date fast but didn't want to seem desperate. What should my first message be that I send her?

Come up with your own, I'm not here to pick up girls for you. Just say something ridiculous and stupid that touches on a random fact in her profile, throw in a flirty stupid line and make sure you have correct punctuation and you're above probably every single guy she receives messages from.

"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.

Simple case for Judge nismo.

In your case, don't wait around for her. Your princess is in another castle. Accept this, move on, and remember for next time to get the girl off the net quickly. When you call, set up the date, and be busy. You need not linger on the phone. Keep a sense of mystery. You are hereby ordered to learn from this mistake, understand that all girls can flake, and come up with a battle plan for your sake. Spin more plates always. :yes: That's my verdict.

Case closed.
