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.
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.

are you average looking or ugly? in what tone of voice are you saying hi?? make sure you say it in a tone of voice where you sound friendly, plus say it with a smile. Maybe you look all serious when you say hi and they b1tches think youre some kind of weirdo!
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.
Did you think that maybe you came off as a bit sensitive/nice guy when you said Hi and that didn't interest her?? I personally would have said with an assertive tone of voice "can you help me out with this." There is no need to say hi all the time.Originally posted by spider_007
"HI, do (pause) you remember haw to trim this?" The minute i said hi she trund her head and gave me this: "what the hell do you want" look (without sayinga anything) I caught me a little of guard
Start it off commenting on her "interesting" accesory, clothing, shoes..etc. etc......then just build a convo from there- this is how I started out.Originally posted by webbguy79
What is a good thing to talk about with a girl when you see 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.
