"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.

It's my friends birthday at the start of May, and amongst a lot of people, the girl he is sort-of involved with will be there. He's going to introduce her to me. I'm thinking, you guys would be able to give good advice on what approach to take - should I tell good stories about my friend, make him out to look good, that kind of thing?

Instinctually, I just want to go completely CF on her and have fun with her - but I suppose my buddy could do with some help here.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I understand you want to help out your friend and everything, but how about you help yourself out first. If you're asking us how you can help your friend out with women, I can only assume that you're stuck in the mud as well.

Instead of wasting your time trying to "solidify" your friend's position with this girl, practice with some harmless flirting. See what she laughs at and what she sees as awkward. I make it my priority to flirt harmlessly with all my friends' girlfriends. It's free practice, and you're sure to get a real response.

Talking your friend up is not only a waste of her time, but your time. Good luck.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Wow...just...wow.

Some of you are so far beyond hopeless that it's actually saddening.

If you can't even respect your FRIENDS, how the hell do you EVER expect to get anywhere with women?
