"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 would you have handled this?

Hey, DJ's.

The other day I ran into a woman I had been out with once, but bailed out on a second date. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and called to reschedule, which she did, but then she bailed on that one too. I did not make plans to reschedule -- figure that's twice, if she wants to see me, she can call me.

Of course, she smiles, starts talking to me, and says, "You don't call me anymore."

I responded with, "That's because it's incovenient."

HB: "Why is it inconvenient?"
Me: "Because it's a waste of my time."

Now, that might seem pretty blunt, but that's honestly how I feel -- don't stand there and complain to me about me not calling you when I do and you cancel twice in a row, then never call back.

She looked crushed. I'm not sure if this is her M.O. and she sees how long she can get away with it or what. I just shook my head and walked away.

Polite enough? How would you gents have handled it?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

nicely put, but i think she was just trying to make small talk...

i hate it when people tell me "you dont call anymore", i hear that quite a lot actually and every time it pisses me off.. for the simple reason is that they can call too!

The way i see it, you have two options, you can either give up and have 0 chance, or plow through ala gunwitch and keep trying until she flat out rejects you. I would have said "Hey, I thought I left you a message, I was waiting for you to call me" and play it off like I didn't care (which I honestly don't), and then tell her "You know, you can take me out for dinner to make it up to me" (once again said playfully).

Odds are she'll flake out again, but you have better chances than just giving up. Don't go out of your way to see again if she flakes, but just be friendly yet distant.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Why would you even want a chance with somebody that already played you? This is what you dont do. You can't let hoes keep walking over you and give them a second and third chance to do it again.
