"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 moved back home after college, and got a full time job in my career to pay off my credit. I've managed to pay off 4k of credit debt in 2-3 months. My game has gone down hill big time since living with my mom. I've been on a dought for 4 months. I went to a party 3 weeks ago and got 2 numbers but they didn't even remember my name when i called... I try to go out atleast once a week. I workout 3 times a week and play basketball, so i'm in good shape. I been focusing on my goals and stuff, but enough is enough. but it's been 4 months of trying to balance out my social life and work but no girls. I don't want money or cars to do my talking...

Where do I start, what do i need to do to get these girls interested (other than the obvious--move out)?
 

"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.

I'll be out of credit card debt this month. My finances are going great. But since day one of my return here, i'd say i'm heading in the right direction.

Get involved in activities where there are some women that may remember you. Maybe go to church and get involved in a singles group. Do yoga at them gym (mostly women and they won't forget you) or aerobics.

A drunk chick probably won't remember anyone unless they were making out or f'ing.

Let me get this streight....you finished college and you moved back in with your MOM. GEE GEE

And you have to ask us what the problem is. What girl wants to date a 26 year old that lives with his mom.
 

"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.

It's not like i go around advertising who I live with... regardless of my reasons. I've got college friends who pick up all the time and live with their parents. One went from talking to a bunch fat girls to a bunch of pretty ones. They take their dates over to friends houses and seem to make it work. I'm here for the time being, so I'm trying to make it work too.

There's nothing wrong with living with your parents after college...that's what the smart people do. Your other option is take out a mortgage on a house you can't afford (think about the current lending crisis) and still try to pay back student loans.

I was pretty down on the stigma of living with the parents when I came back from school the first time around, so I got an apartment with my then-gf and was broke all the time...plus I ran up a crapload of credit card debt.

It may not be attractive now, but you'll be much happier when you're financially secure AND independent.
