"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 think I’m the only one that absolutely hates FaceTiming. Women love that sh!t and I find myself struggling to come up with an excuse not to do it. I don’t want to carry my phone around out in front of me just right so I can make sure I’m in the pic. You also can’t watch tv while you’re doing it. I much prefer texting, hell id rather talk on the phone than FaceTime. Why do women love that so much? Anyone have a good way to get out of it when they bring it up?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Never comes up for me. I hate it too.
I’ve only gotten a couple of FaceTime calls in my life and I just didn’t pick up. I don’t even like talking to my fiancé on voice calls.

I don't like it that much either, but if you have a nice smile, you can make a lot of progress just smiling and playing around with her on facetime

everyone says voice calling beats out texting when it comes to stimulating a woman's senses. Well I think face timing is a step above voice calling. Sight, and sound is more powerful then just sound

One tip if you don't like facetime, set your iphone settings to SMS instead of iMessaging. This way they think you have an Android phone that is not capable of facetime. Also they can't get your read receipts and such. And gals are generally too lazy to use third party apps unless it's something they use regularly like snapchat or something in which case, you say you don't have it nor will use it.

Not a fan. Mostly I’ve dealt with FT when I was on Tinder. Women would FT me before agreeing to date.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Why do women love that so much?
Because women like attention and facetiming is a surefire way to make sure you are giving them literally 100% of your attention since it's almost impossible to multitask while facetiming.
