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.
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.
What make you think Howard Stern was a DJ?d9930380 said:I can't believe it, even the best of us will get stupid when a hot piece of ass is concerned.
He is already divorced. And he has LOT of $$$$ (MILLIONS).Skel said:Why was he stupid for getting engaged? He has been with her for a long time.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
What is he "gaining" by marrying her or anyone?bigjohnson said:I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with getting married. For me it's about who wears the pants, not how many "plates" I have spinning. As long as I get what I need that's what is important. Simple.
Keep it simple man.
You bring up a good point. I don't see why people rush to get married anyways --- you can just have a LTR and if it happens to last a lifetime, great!Latinoman said:What is he "gaining" by marrying her or anyone?
If she divorces him...he loses MUCH more than win.
That's what people thought of Heather Mills. The NOW very rich ex-wife of Paul McCartney.Mind_Body_Soul said:Beth O - his g/f seems to be pretty subservient, so my guess is that he's in control in the relationship.

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.
