"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 don't think anyone has posted about this before, but this has happened to me twice in the past month. I meet a HB, and it turns out I know her roommate and already have her home number (I know a lot of people).

It might sound stupid, but, what do you do in that situation? It would be ridiculous to ask for the number since I already have it. What do you recommend?

Should I just call and ask for the HB out of the blue? How do I make it clear that I want to date the HB?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts, SoSuave.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If you see the HB somewhere, talk to her and ask her if she wants to go out sometime. Try to set up the date right there and avoid conflict with her roommate.

That seems to me solid advice, to set up the date immediately.

Pook and AD were against setting up dates on the spot, preferring to test the bitty by asking for her phone #, which makes dating intent clear anyway.

But I you're right. Any other ideas by any chance?

the setting up on the spot works..

otherwise instead of saying whats ur number, just say "i've got your number cause i'm friends with *roommate* you mind if i give u a call?"

otherwise, call to speak to the roommate, and hope she answers.. have a little fluff talk and say, hey i'm pretty busy rightn now and i need to speak to *roommate* but lets catch up for a coffee on *xxx*day

Yo, great advice all. Thank you!

Since I barely care about one of the HBs, I just emailed the friend and was like "well since I know both of you, when are you going to invite me over for dinner?" hehe, gotta entertain yourself in life.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
