"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.

So I'm going out on another date with this girl, but I've got a few problems I need some help with to work around.

This date is gonna involve alot of hooking up and will probably escalate past that, so the first idea I thought for a venue would be my house, but I still live with my parents (im in high school what do you expect!?), so there is a great chance they would walk in at any time and ruin everything.

Another problem is, at this time, there aren't many action dates we can do given our location....plus I'm injured so I can't do something like ice skating bowling alleys far, the majority date would consist of me driving her and driving back.

Any ideas of how to get around these problems? Would mall trekking work?
 

"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.

You seem to live in a pretty sucky place.

Ok, how about going to see a movie or something? Usually not a great idea, but with your limited mobility...

Can you walk ok? A zoo or a park or something could be nice....and yeah, you could just walk around the mall.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The thing is....I'm pretty sure she's sorta tomboyish. I've suggested doing ice skating and to the zoo and the first time she changed it to a movie date, and the second time, she flat out flaked on me...called me afterward so I wont next her just yet....

Any suggestions? I would play sports with her at my house but there are always too many things going on, dogs and cats, siblings, parents....we would never get a chance to hook up.

I agree with Wolf. If she flaked on your second date, you need to next her. Flaking on the tenth date would be one thing, maybe even the fifth if she called you afterwards, but on the second? Yeah... NEXT.
 

"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.

Well, this would be the third date, she didn't flake on the first two. After the second she called talking about how she was looking forward to the next one. And she called "apologizing" after she flaked. making me all confused.

I just gotta get this out my head.

Could be 2 things
1) a test
2) shes feels shes in control
