"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.
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
