"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 need to be more sociable

I'm naturally not that sociable of a guy. Not really because I am shy or anything, just because I like to listen more than I like to talk. I like absorbing information rather then spewing it out. Now, this is my downfall when it comes to women and just meeting other people in general. Sure I know pretty much everyone in my classes, but not on a level that I would actually call them up on the weekend and ask if they want to hang out.

So basically, I want to know: How can I be more social? An example, there's this nice girl that sits behind me in precal first thing in the morning. I'm not really too attracted to her, probably wouldn't want to persue a relationship with her, but it would be nice to talk to her a little more often. What can I say?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Alright, that seems like something sensible to say. Now, that wouldn't matter that I don't really know her THAT well right? I mean, that's the point right, come out strong?

Well if he hasn't talked to her I don't think the last part of that would suite too well. She'd just be like who the hell is this guy?

You have to make yourself known first, in my opinion anyways...
You'll get a more friendlier response like
"haha Of course!"
and you just be like ":nono: now now settle down, don't get too horny :p "

just play the game like you would with any other girl. its pretty much a cold approach, which could be harder since your in school with her. you could use the CF thing, or just plain out make an observation about her. all you gotta do is take 3 deep breaths before you see her, tell yourself you got the situation under control and just talk and SMILE alot (but not like you got wood)
 

"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.
