"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.

here's the deal... every now and then i save AIM conversations too look back on and see what i did right and wrong. i have a nice little archive.

one conversation i have is from summer of 05. the girl IMed me first, saying she was "thinking of me"... we talked a little bit, it was cute.

now i was thinking of contacting the girl (who i still talk to) and being like, whoa... you'll never believe me this... i was deleting old files and found this... when she asks what it is i'll be like yea back in the day i used to think you were kind of cute and i saved this conversation because i thought it was funny... etc.

question: would there be any cool nostaligia to it that a girl might think is cute? or is it way too AFC/ stalkerish?

i'm thinking the latter, and i'm probably not gonna do it, unless i'm advised otherwise
 

"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.

don't do it dude, you might think it's romantic or cool but i mean let me put it this way:

My afc part says: Cool that would make him look sweet!

My mature part says: It's not gonna work UNLESS (and even then) she already feels attracted to you then she'll prolly ignore it or sumthing in other words it won't make sh!t to make her feel more attracted to you.

Do it. Learn on your own. The hoe can't kill you, if it work it work. If it dont. it dont.

Good advice, Bunk. Defenitely do it tsmith.

We learn from experiences.

Book smarts = other peoples experiences (sosuave)
Street smarts = our experiences (you sending that chick the conversation)

You'll learn way more, and be way better off by making your own mistakes (or successes). Always 'trust the gut', and go with your thoughts over anyone elses
