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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Don't worry about going out alone. I always do it(at clubs). I also go out with friends too. But when my friends are not around, I go out alone. Of course I'd rather go out with a friend, but if they're not around, I'm not going to let it stop me from going out. I can't be bothered relying on people. A lot of my friends go out alone too. Going out alone has never been an issue with picking up women for me. Look confident, look pleased, look jovial, look like you're having a good time, and don't stand away from everyone, and you'll be fine.Demystify said:I know an obvious piece of advice would be to actually talk to people and not sit alone in a corner ignoring people or staring at them. But is there any other good advice relating to this topic out there?
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Actually, the main place I'm trying to socialise with is at the church, and I feel the same way the OP is saying. I usually end up talking to someone at the church, but shy away from approaching and opening attractive girls.Poonani Maker said:Going to church and socializing has made me a socializer who can ham it up with everybody for an entire night. Church IS different though because people serve one another there and submit to one another whereas in a bar or a club people, especially b1tches, can be unforgiving if you don't say the right things or wear the right clothes or have a million dollars etc.
