"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.

Okay, guys. I must say, the new Haggling article on SoSuave is genius. It boils down to this....

A Vendor wants your money, so he advertises products that he is selling that interest the customer to buy.

A girl wants _________ from a man. She advertises products that that she is selling that interest the potential buyer.

A man wants a girl, so he advertises ________ to interest her.

Fill in the blanks.
 

"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.

A girl wants a good time from a man.

A man wants a girl, so he advertises nothing to interest her. >> Instead he enjoys the time he is spending. So the girl is looking for him and wondering: Hmm, sh*t, why can´t I see any advertising? Where can I find this AMAZING MAN, all my friends are talking of.

[A man is as long searching for a women until she has found him.]

That makes sense. The article also spoke about letting her know that I could drop her for a second for any other girl out there.

How do I let her know that I'm the **** and if she ****s anything up with me I can leave that very moment and find a better girl, at her loss. How do I communicate that?

You can communicate it by saying to her: "[her name], I have noticed the way you are looking at me... Only that nothing get complicated: At the moment I only want to enjoy my life and I am really not looking for a relationship right now... But I think you are already a nice friend and we enjoy time together... So...okay... enough official... I am thinking of going to this concert of ... at thursday, should I order you a ticket, too?

Or tell her: Hmm, [her name], I have a really big problem and I would already consider you as a real nice friend, otherwise I would not ask you... but I badly need some female adise... I was at this party at saturday and sadly I was a bit drunken. And suddenly, I really do not know how this could happen, I was making out with that girl I was dating with only some times some month ago. She is really clingy... and regrettably she has my number and knows where I live. Do you have any idea how I can make her clear, that I only want to enjoy life at the moment and that I really do not want to get into a relationship right now without offending her sensibilities??
 

"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.

You're missing the bigger picture.

"Love is war" is saying the same thing.

Relationships are economic. Meaning there is always a struggle of who gives what and what he gets back.

Ever thought about the question: "Where is this relationship going?"

It translates to: "hey, I like you. I slept with you. Now say that you're committed and say it first. Cause I don't want to risk rejection or intimacy. You first"

One thing about haggaling you may want to consider-in the typical non-western country where this is common, hagglers generally have a pre-set price that they are willing to sell a given item for. Of course, they try to get more, but there is a certain limit they will not go below. The other thing about haggling, especially in touristy places, is the hagglers will have a set price depending on who you are. If you are a from a rich western country, the price will be higher than for locals. If you look like a well off tourist as opposed to a hippie backpacker, the price will be higher for you. Certain nationalities also have to pay a premium.

A woman wants attention from a man.

A man wants sex from a woman.

Both parties must keep these products in short supply or they will become less valuable.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
