"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.

This might not be what you're expecting it to be.

I had to change plans with R on account of some extra hours at work I couldn't avoid. Naturally I did it ahead of time and arranged another date with R on the spot. R was cool with that and didn't give me any grief about changing plans.

I met R last night and as it turns out she'd been blindsided with some kind of viral infection earlier in the week (sexy huh!), serious enough to put her in hospital for a few days. It was easy to see she was still struggling with it a bit.

In spite of that she turned up, on time, and gave it everything, completely, totally engaged in the date....when she wasn't coughing, lol. What was particularly interesting was that she hinted at the idea that most girls are terrible flakes and that she didn't want to be identified as one.

Seriously, what a trooper, credit to her gender. I think she'll be lynched by her 'sistas' if word gets out about this though.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The one time a girl has a legit reason to flake, she doesn't. Oh the irony.

Or high interest level? What makes you so sure that if she had lower interest she would go trough with it?

That goes to show that when a woman is interested in you, she will move mountains to see you.

That's why you should always eject when a girl is hemming and hawing about getting together.

Oh I'd like to take credit for it and say that I spiked her IL through the roof with my C&F and demonstrations of social proof (TIC)...but I think she actually has her sh!t together, that simple. I really didn't spend much time building rapport with her prior to the date, but maybe there's a lesson in that also.

Probably not my type looks-wise (I like them shorter and smaller), but she gets to round two just on the basis of being such a trooper. Figure it pays to reward that kind of behaviour on the rare occasions you do come across it, you know, for the general betterment of society, haha.
 

"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.

You should rename this thread to 'Interest level? Check'.

I dont see any integrity here, she hasn't donated her life savings to a dolphin charity.
