"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.

Is she just a REALLY good tease?

I'm getting such a mixed signal from this girl, but I'm starting to think she's just a tease or attention *****. We can talk about sex and she sometimes even brings it (or I bring it up) during small text messaging convos. Most of the time though (IN PERSON) if we talk about it and I hint at her and I getting into it she refuses. Still in text messages, she'll act like she would be into it. This is starting to just get to me. When I talk to her in person about this she isn't around anyone so I can't see why she would feel guilt about being judged. It's almost like anytime I escalate things she backs away. So what the hell?
 

"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.

My advice would be to ween yourself off text messaging. I have been there many times, and nothing good ever comes from texting.

You start texting a girl all the time you become her b!tch.

I have started to give up texting, maybe one or 2 every once in awhile.

And I have completely given up instant messenger.

If it's a girl you are already banging maybe it's another story. Anybody agree?

Yeah, Vlad, I agree 100%. Instant messaging and texting is a crutch. Everyone is a tough guy on the internet, and women are no different, they're all AW's on the 'net because it's a faceless means of communication.

I do use it from time to time but that's only until I can be rid of it completely.

That's very true. Text messaging and IM are bad for attracting girls. I just learnt that recently. Plus IM and text messaging, most of the time, is childish and useless. That's why I have blocked almost everyone on MSN.

If I want to talk to a girl I'm attracted to, I'm better off talking to her in person.

challenger her by texting her, "i dont think you can walk the talk" (it is safe to do this because you're not INVOLVING YOURSELF)

if she replies back assuming you want to have sex with her.. say something back like

"don't flatter yourself. i never said i wanted to have sex with you"
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
