"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.

How should I respond when women give me compliments?

Yeah, I know this is AFC and all but how should I respond when women give me compliments? For instance, in marching band, I'm the only guy in my sqaud and the sqaud next to me, every else in the sqaud is girl. Sometimes these girls compliment me on my ability to memorize music and marching steps in a short time. I didn't know what to say, at the moment I thought "Should I act ****y about it? Should I just say I know?" and in the end I just ended up trying to explain how memorize. I don't see why girls think memorizing music is so "amazing", as they call it, since it's actually not that hard for me, since I have alot of music experience and a photographic memory. But that's besides the point, how should I respond when girls give me compliments?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Listen to these guys, they hit it right on the head, be ****y about it, when you get a compliment from chicks, say something smart assed, it works, but I dont reccomend dating girls in band, because you will be around her alot, and if you happen to break up, it will be very akward, belive me I know from personal expirence

Not to be mean but I think "thanks" would be best for Viper's situation...(some of you haven't read all his posts)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Working a compliment implies your insecurity. Just say "thanks" do nothing about a compliment.
