"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'm branching this off my other thread about getting her to say she likes spending time with you in silence...

The other side of the coin is how on the phone they "commandeer" the conversation with a long, drawn-out story complete with every tiniest detail.

"Well, Atom Smasher, I had to pick her up at 1:30 - No wait, it was 1:15 because I also went to the dry cleaners. No wait, it had to be 1:30 because I didn't get out of the salon until a quarter to one. No, wait a minute, first I went to the grocery store, and that brings us to about 12:30......." And on and on it goes. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I roll with it for a while until I'm absolutely ready to explode because at a certain point I start feeling like I'm being "used" by her as a verbal dumping ground.

So, men, tell me what if any techniques do you use to mitigate the noise?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You my friend, obviously have a great sense of humor! :up:
 

"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.

That was probably the only funny part of "Master of Disguise".

But if she talks too much, feed her some sausage. Nothing says STFU like some veiny kielbasa poking the inside of her cheeks.
