"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.

Had Online date first time ever and she cancelled

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Not all women have the same hobby as men. Like I like fishing and guns. Most women for a date don't want to go shooting.
Agreed. I like playing basketball, soccer, and working out all men activities. Rarely a girl will go do that with me. I have to find out something fun both genders can enjoy. Any ideas?

I inspired all my girlfriends to go for hikes, biking or climbing. They all were into it very fast

Totally agree with Glassguy on this.

It is a huge red flag for a woman to expect YOU to confirm dates in advance. Are her fingers broken that she can't text? Entitlement and insecurity. You should see this as a positive thing that she disqualified herself to you and saved you wasted time.

Also, sometimes women will use this as an excuse that makes it your fault, when they find another guy they are more interested in and would prefer to see over you. Instead of owning it, or just cancelling, they mirror their guilt into you and say it's your fault for not confirming.
I will confirm same day, like right before I leave or even get ready to leave. If she hesitates, it's no skin off my back cause 9 times outta 10 I didn't really even want to make the effort anyway and would rather read a book or do training/body weight workouts or just rest from work. Any fvckups by the women, she never sees me, she loses.

Same here. I will chat the day of the date in the morning for a bit so they're reminded of me then usually before I leave I text them. Especially like this week if I have a date with that MILF which I will be driving 40 miles one way for.
 

"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.

I would always get same day confirmation. If they don't reply don't go. The one I'm working on for this week is a 40 mile trek. I'll be damned if I get ghosted driving 80 miles round trip lol.

a lot of sh!t can happen in one day, she usually doesn't change her mind in a few hours, but their attention spans are shorter than Ever, so it's the times

I agree. Attention spans are very short!!! Got to keep them interested. Why I try and set up the first date as soon as possible and on old try and get the phone number as soon as possible before they lose interest
