"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 do so well with girls I'm not interested in

I mean really, really well. Perfectly. But only up to a point, because I'm not interested. When I'm actually interested, not much happens. Why is this? Should I just stop getting interested whatsoever?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Act like you aren't inerested. It sounds simple, it's tough in reality.

I have the same problem I can talk to pretty much any girl I am not interested in but if I am then I cannot talk to them. It is like some sort of boundary until I just get up so much nerve to just go and talk to them. My convo does not flow as much as it does when I am not interested.

Same here, same here, I find it way more difficult to stay calm and composed when talking to a girl i'm interested in.

No you last 2 posters misunderstood him, he does not mean he finds it hard to talk to the girls, i know just what he means, its that they dont like him as much, its happened to me before. Its because you give way too much attention to them.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I figured they weren't so interested because i might have lost composure, but you're right, and I've had it happen to me more than once.
Somewhere my game needs working on because I get dates left and right with girls i'm not really interested in, and then i get burnt by the ones I am interested in.

Yeah i second that check mate kid. Giving too much attention can be a bad thing at first. It's better to give them just enough of your attention to get them interested, and then leave them wanting more. The more ways you can get the girl thinking about you, about being with you, the better.

I wouldn't advise to stop getting interested whatsoever, i'd advise asking yourself what is it that is different about the way you act around those you like/want and those you don't. Then you'll be better prepared.

You're putting the pvssy on the pedestal.

You actually lack confidence, the "prize" mentality, with the girls you really want. With the mingers, you have the prize mentality so you don't give a crap.

Act like you're not interested.

I'd also suggest thinking less. You don't think with the mingers and it works. It'll work with attractive girls too.
