"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.

This is what she wrote:
I have no idea what you're talking about. I laugh at all your e-mails, I gave you my AIM screen name, and I gave you my myspace url, which includes basically anything you need to know to stalk me (not that I want you to). You can't get much further away from rejection than that on a ****ty online dating site. Stop whining.

that's after I called her out half-jokingly on her 'rejection' after a few days no response to my last msg.

But she's never on AIM!

f*ck! this is what happens every damn time. I get it going good but then it just fizzles off because I can't take it anywhere. I want to take it to the next level - the OFFLINE level motherf*ck goddamn it tibi4ughi5798gt698
But how do I do this? How do I get her phone number? How do I set things up? What do I say? HELP
 

"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.

There's your problem, you've already taken it there with everything that you've done online. Why should she meet you? You've given her so much online and you've become her email pal.

After you gain rapport and the conversation starts rolling, MOVE IT OFFLINE WHILE SHE IS STILL INTERESTED! Stop wasting time jumping from Myspace to emails to IM, you're acting as if you want to be pen pals.

Pick one medium, exchange a little banter just to establish that your personalities may get along and then immediately suggest meeting face to face to continue the fun. If she's interested she'll say "yes," if she doesn't, wish her best of luck and move on.

But we've just bantered a bit basically. All our exchange has been very light and hasn't gotten into any detail on our lives so to speak. She really knows nothing about me aside from the way I look and my silly profile. I don't think this one's totally lost I just don't know how to ask her for a face to face meeting without scaring her off or her not taking me seriously. What's a good type of meeting to suggest? Coffee? Bowling?? Put some words in my mouth goddamnit.

I seldom give out lines because I believe the best DJs should use their own style so it's easier for them, so you'll have to put the words into your own mouth. :D However, I will say that when you ask a woman out, it doesn't need to be said in some hugely romantic way, keep it short and simple. Just let her know that it would be fun for the two of you to get together, just be specific about the time and venue.

A lot of guys like action dates straight away, me I need to get her someplace to I can qualify her without a ton of distractions. She can get to know me also as she's qualifying herself. If we get along well and we both want to hang out again, then I plan on an action date.

I think the difference is that most guys are a bit nervous on the first date and feel most comfortable if they are actually doing something active. There are some though that are comfortable just sitting down and talking, this is typically the way that most women feel at ease when first meeting a guy (it could be an age thing too but that's another thread altogether). Also the hang out and talk type dates are usually less expensive than most action dates. I just don't get into spending much money on someone I've just met, who knows if we are even going to see each other again.

None the less, whatever you choose you should take into consideration her comfort level, your confidence level and the level of rapport that you have with her at that time. If you are still in the getting to know one another stage it may be best to take it a little slow. If the two of you are getting along as if you've known each other forever (mad rapport) then an action date could be your best bet.
 

"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.

Repost as "If we had sex"
You can play it off like its a game and say you sent it to everyone.

If she responds, there is a good chance you're one step closer to meeting her, but then you also run into the risk of her thinking you're a perve.
