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 asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You bet. I have tried to get coworkers to hang it but they are chicken sh!ts. They all appreciate it and how it fits our environment so perfectly.Killing My Career said:
It's a shame the point is almost always missed on the intended. But you made my day knowing that you have it hanging in your bulletin board. Thank you for posting the link. Hopefully what we've endured as employees from an ethical and illegal standpoint can help other employees learn to protect themselves as we've learned the company is out to protect the company and not the employee.
