"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.

No I don't hate my father however I do hate his last name. Its a horrible last name and this post doesn't really have anything to do with gaming girls more with dealing with my last name. It really hurts your confidence factor when you're walking through the halls and someone yells out "Smallwood!". It was seriously not cool last year when my civics teacher just wouldn't lay off. It was constantly him yelling out "Mr Smallwood." Not cool. Sorry just kinda had to vent.



*Hint*My last name is Smallwood.
 

"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.

My bed, your girl.
Mr. Smallwood!!

How is that offensive?
It means "small wood". Yeah so you can't build a house or anything with it, but it's your identity and you gotta be proud to be (in mindset).
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Well, work with what you have, or around it. People ask what my middle name is, and I get to say Carroll. Though my last name is Simpson, and my initials are BS. That rocks.
Just don't dwell on the name. Try to have women say "Smallwood is great."

however, your dad didnt pick out the last name, its passed down from the generations.. so what can you do?

If anyone ever makes fun of you for it, just be like "You make me look like Mr. Bigwood."
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Your teacher poking fun at your last name...?? Hey thats deeply unprofessional and bad paedagogics and just low and I would consider getting him into trouble for that. Which would not be hard, go see the principal about that. Do it immediately the next time he does it with tears in your eyes or just do it sometime.. that´s up to your style, your penchant for histrionics and how deeply you want to get your teach into trouble. People win lawsuits for this kind of shyt, BTW.

A rare or strange name is a mixed blessing. It is bad because you get shyt for it, but it is also great because people remember you everywhere. Who remembers a Dave Miller or Stan Smith?? Nobody... But if your name´s Attila Smallwood or Romeo Oseransky or John Buttkys, people will not forget you, and that can be a good thing both professionally and in private.

I know that I am talking about, my name in translation means Threefoot. Some jerk official writing down names poking fun at my greatgranddad for walking with a cane, evidently...

I didn't expect the outpour to be that big. Its not really that big a problem just had a bad day and I vented. Its not the like the ladies call me that. Just one of those things that kinda blurs your vision.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Don't worry about it, man!

Things should change when you get out of Highschool. Plus, I've seen names that are a LOT worse. I know a guy who's name was D!CK Be@ver. Not only his is first name bad, but he's a got a bad last name too. At least your first name isn't D1ck.

Anyways, whatever man, Highschoolers will find any reason to make fun of anyone. My first name is very unique. I used to get people making fun of me because of it. But now it seems like people are fascinated by it, heck it even got me lots of attention at bars before. Also, people never forget me. There wasn't a single person in H.s. and probably very few in college that wouldn't remember who I was.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
