"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.

Hi all, I've come to the harsh realization that when I go out, I am all fun/"woo" and no intent.

Last night I was at a bar and was dancing with the off-duty waitresses which was a lot of fun, but in the end left with nothing. No #s, nada.

I need quick help. Any words of advice or kicks in the ass are very much welcomed.

From what I can gather, my issues are incorporating hot eye contact and intent into my usual fun/"woo!" game.

Anyone that can relate???

:woo: :(
 

"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.

I can also relate. What Noob said is right. I would also add to that:
- start touching a lot (huggung, kissing on cheek, etc)
- add some ****iness: (i.e. "If you want to keep dancing with me, you have to buy me a drink")

I should also add in the issue with isolation - the venue was a small area in front of the bar, the lights had been turned on, and the group was a bunch of co-workers.

I know this shouldn't make a huge difference, and it sounds like I'm just making excuses - but I feel things would have been better in a dark, open club, for example.

...but I'm still a wussy for not getting any digits, especially after at one point, one of the waitresses was bending me over and slapping my ass...(!)

I need a piano dropped on my head.
