"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 it okay to tell your girlfriend you're jealous whenever she talks about her male friend?
Im not sure if jealousy can be seen as a sign of weakness.... or can it be interpreted as masculine dominance?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hrmmm, not quite lugsy; I don't think you quite get the concept of DJ yet.

When you mention 'masculine dominance' by being jealous its quite contradictory to what should be done.

I think by exposing yourself and ******dly saying that you are jealous would make you seem MORE weak not dominant because it shows that you are:

1. Effected by her greatly which makes you at her mercy
2. Shows you are not in control of the situation (meaning, you cant control your emotions)
3. Shows you are insecure.

I guess those three are the only ones I can think of atm.

I will come back later and post some more.

Never say that you are jealous. But if she is spending a lot of time with him, then I think it's okay to tell her that you have a problem with it.
