"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 FOUGHT IT. I didn't call...and she didn't call me.

So today I had to fight it VERY hard to NOT call this girl up. I wanted to call her so bad because I want to talk to her. But I know that if I didn't call she won't call me and tonight proves it. Any ideas if this is a sign of not being interested or what? Should I just move on? I was thinking to myself "What if this girl is WAITING for me to call? and is afraid to call me?" But then I was thinking, I always fvckin call her every night and she doesn't answer....but then calls me up later. Now this time, I just didn't call her up at all and she never did call at all. I'm just confused.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Wait three days.

This will make her wonder, and I bet she'll miss you.

Who is this chick to you, and why are you calling her EVERY NIGHT???

Read the Book of Pook, chump. Games and silly strategies are not the answer to your life's problems; your mindset is all wrong.

It doesn't matter how badly you want to talk to her, it only matters how badly SHE wants to talk to YOU.
 

"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.

Don't call! Wait it out. There are only two things that can happen.

Either she wasn't into you and now she's relieved that you quit calling. In which case it's over, move on.

Or she's sitting at home driving herself nutts wondering why you aren't calling and she WILL attempt to make some contact with you, be it a text message, phone call, myspace, email, or whatever. And then she's Yours!

Not Calling Is Good, Just Make Sure It's Not Too Long.

Use this ratio

For every two calls from her you call her once and when you call her make sure you have something interesting and unique to say make her feel good while on the phone then dont call her till she calls twice simple

It sounds to me like her interest level is mediocre at best, because if she's into you she wouldn't be confusing you. It might be time to focus you attention elsewhere.
 

"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.

This is not true, some women are just plain confusing. I know I can be.

For a moment there, I thought you were trying to avoid calling an ex.

I had to learn the hard way that I was much better off striking while the iron is hot. You're better off calling the next day instead of doing the wait, ESPECIALLY after meeting a woman for the first time. As long as you don't go overboard with calling her, you'll be fine.

If she doesn't answer, leave a message. If there's no voicemail, call the next day. If you get no response in a week, ditch her number.

I find women are typically horrible at initiating most things when they're dating a new guy. That's why you have to phone her, you have to pick the day, you have to pick the activity, and you have to set the pace of progression in the "relationship".

If I am really interested in a guy who got my #, and he calls the next day, it is GREAT.

For those of you who do want to play mind games though, call her the very next day, come on strong, THEN wait 3-5 days to call.

THAT sh!t drives me nuts.
