"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 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.

What's with the third option?
If you've never had sex, but you have herpes (it is a possibility), you'd clearly know!

The Herpes virus can be contracted outside of sex; for instance, via exposure to body fluids, or just by skin-to-skin contact.


What country are you in?

The prevalenece rates for Herpes (by strain) in the US are:

68% of people carry HSV1.

26% of women carry HSV2.

In Australia, it's 79-80% for HSV1 and 11-15% for HSV2

Don't worry bout herpes. Its nothing and ppl get all hung up on it. If you suspect it, its up to you to disclose. Personally, I couldn't care less, its a risk to having sex with someone not tested and you must accept full responsibility.
 

"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.

My ex-wife got it before she and I got married, but I never got it from her in seven years of sex without a condom.

Most herpes is spread shortly after being contracted. The virus is most active in the body right after infection, and then it goes down over time. Women who have had herpes for a while will come to know the tingling sensation that precedes an outbreak. That's why I never got herpes from my ex-wife; we simply did not have sex if she thought she might be getting an outbreak.

Daily meds like Valtrex or Famvir help most people keep outbreaks to a minimum.

I am John mccain and I approve of this message, HOWEVER............Herpes at this time is like the common cold...NO CURE.

Its costly and volunteering info is like revealing you are gay...........women quickly lose any sexual interest in you.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
