"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.

Anyone else get kind of anxious if they aren't out socializing every Friday and Saturday night? Or say, I have a buddy text me to wingman on a Thurs night, even though I know Friday at work I have a ton to do. On the weekends, even if there's not much going on, I still find myself willing to do whatever there is to do, even if I know it's not going to be a great time and I'm tired.

I have some buddies who are totally cool staying in on a Fri an Sat night, even with high developed social circles. I feel like I should be willing to stay in and play guitar, watch Tv, go to sleep early and what not on weekends. Yet, I find myself going out and getting wasted, blowing tons of cash, no matter the venue.

I think part of it is that I don't have a steady gf, and I feel like I should be out nonstop.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I was really tired the other day and pushed myself to go out alone. Once there, immediately I was dancing and found energy.

Priorities I believe are key.
If you want to go out more than a few times a week, you should be clear what you want. Are you doing it to feel more social, alive, to improve game, to beat boredom, to have fun, to relax, etc etc.

Then you can adjust your life accordingly to what suits you best.

Yeah, I know. It was nice to have a g/f, stay in, not care what other people are doing, get drunk, have sex, save a ton of money.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
Having a GF got old really fast for me, didnt really like it. I also dont go out as much as I used to, maybe friday or saturday sometimes. But the whole GF thing hinders the point in going out lol unless shes 1) with you 2) youre drinking with some buds
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

When i'm up at college and it's the weekend...if i dont go out, i feel like everyone else is having a much better time than i am, drinking and hooking up, and i get extremely restless.
