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.
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.
Exactly why im not going to tell he straight up, if it comes down to it I will. Im probably going to mention something about fitness, and how I love girls who work out...its very sexy...etcPDubb75 said:Interesting article, but geared more towards relationships. But the one you mentioned could easily be adapted to your situation. I know some girls that would respond really well to these things. I even know some that would prefer if someone straight up told them they needed to lose weight. But others would flip out at any of these suggestions. Just be careful.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This might just work..Im gonig to do that tonight plus the story telling about how i like fit girlsDonJuanit0 said:When an ex of mine put some weight on, I actually told her! After sex I touched her belly and said in a playfull way, "hey, what's this woman?" She answered "leave me alone!" in a playfull way too! That was the beggining, after that, a couple of days later I asked her if she would be interested in joining me in jogging cause I wanted to exercise my body a little bit and it would be a great chance for her to lose those extra pounds in her belly!
I believe that you should tell her! We are supposed to have what we want and not compromise with less that that!
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
