"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.

Now i can easily hold EC with a girl and probably her with me (if she isnt intimidated), however when we do, we both wind up having deer in the headlights look. And usually me or her looks away first and act as if nothing happened.

or ill glance at her every so often and, girls know when theyre being checked out, and when she looks over i look away...or vice versa.

thinking back i had quite a lot of opportunities these 2 weeks that i didnt do anything with. i didnt care at the moment, but now im frankly quite pissed at myself. some of those chicks were hot too...

anybody with similar stories?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Dude we all have similar stories. Thing is to learn from these mistakes or missed opportunities, otherwise we'll keep making the same mistakes:

"Life's lessons keep repeating until you learn them"

A few weeks ago i got really really drunk with a female friend of mine (HB8), just the two of us. We ended up at her place and we were flirting heavily, touching eachother bla bla... and because it's been a while for me, i chickened out, like a wussy, and just watched tv for a bit with her, then i stumbled home.

When i got home, i felt like the biggest idiot in the world. And i was. And i dont think i have a chance with her now, she thinks i'm a loser for chickening out - she called me gay the next day bla bla bla whatever. (i prob still do have a chance but that's not the point)

Anyway, learn from your mistakes. The past isn't as important as the present/future.

Do not look at those lost oppurtunites as something you may have regretted. Look at them as a lesson on how to better yourself. This occured to me today,a hb 7 walked by and glanced at me and I glanced at her at the same time,both quickly looking at different directions. I do not know why I let her get to me but I could have been a man about it and just said "hey hows it going." LESSON LEARNED. (I think to myself)Next time she comes into my job I will talk to her promise.
