"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've got to the point where a couple of days a week, I go into town and work the field.

I've actually approached women, and even secured their names on occasion. I've gotten much better at the initial smile and at managing the 'playfulness', ie, the C&F that is so important.

So I've gotten a lot of these subvariables under more control, and I do find interacting with women a lot more fun, but it hasn't translated into regular lays yet.

I don't know if I should be harder on myself to try to close or if I should pat myself on the bat at bringing my baseline game up a few notches.

As a "mature man", I get fewer opportunities, so this is important.
 

"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.

Don't know what guru said it but "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" or something like that!

Good job! Keep it up this is a marathon not a sprint. Make progress every day!

Just keep working it little by little and compare yourself to where you came from not where you want to be. Sure, you need to have goals and a vision of who you want to be, but don't get hung up on everything you're doing "wrong"

I usually take a break when I start feeling burned out and leave women alone for a few weeks. When I come back I feel like I have a lot more game than when I started the break.

persist!

It sounds like you're on the right track, so keep up the good work. Eventually you won't have to pat yourself on "the bat", they'll be patting your bat for you. ;-)
