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.
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.
She actually did volunteer it.lol And he!! no we never met or exchanged numbers. She started out by going on and on about how guys had screwed her over and just wanted sex and she was looking for a nice guy and was not going to have sex til she got married. So I asked her how many guys had she banged off pof. I was expecting like 5,6,7 something like that. She came back with 39:crazy: Then she went on to tell me how low it made her feel after each time she banged one and how she was only banging so many because she had recently gotten a divorce. Oh and this girl was only 23.lolJohnnyStorm said:Did she volunteer this information? Please tell me she got out a notepad and started entering in what she thought of your "performance"![]()
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Everytime people tell me I am crazy....Robert28 said:She actually did volunteer it.lol And he!! no we never met or exchanged numbers.

People ask me why I'm not married. Maybe I should give this example and see their reaction.haha
