"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 was just wondering, say I was out on a date with a girl, and I just happened to run into my friends. Of course, I have to introduce her to them, what would be the best thing to say. I know for sure that I don't want to say "This is my friend, Jen."


Basically, what I am saying is, What is the best way to introduce a woman that your dating, but not in a relationship with?
 

"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.

"This is the girl I'm gonna f*ck tonight".
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"this is the cutie i told you about...."

turn to her

"whats your name again?"

and then later tell her you were joking. say you remembered her name but that she wasnt the cutie you told your friends about.

Seriously, some of you on this site have to think for yourselves every once in awhile. Do you really have to come on these boards for very little things like this?

Just a side note. Running into your friends can be the best thing as then you come with instance "refferences on your resume" as she sees you are not some lonely creep.

definently a good thing..

i'd say, keep the meeting short and sweet.
don't let it slide into awkwardness.

and when Mr. Mystery II said "this is jen" he was doing the same thing as you.
rather then "this is my friend, jen" "this is jen" doesn't give her a label as a friend..
its going to be fairly obvious what ur intentions with her are you're friends aren't that stupid..
she can't pull some **** like "why did u say i was ur friend instead of..... whatever" girls do stupid **** alot..

"this is jen" or "this is sally" or whatever is perfect..

- note : don't call jen, sally.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

"Hey, this is ****". Plus it's instant social proof.

OK
The best response is the first one you received. Just introduce a girl and dont add friend at the end. i.e. "This is Skanky McSpreadlegs"
