"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.

hey guys,

i'm 19 and i'm looking for a job that will force me to learn how to TALK TALK TALK and become more confident socially interacting with people. i'm sure many of you can say that certain jobs in your past have had a direct benefit to your current social skills now. the main job that comes to mind to me is retail sales (clothing, somewhere at the mall). but, i'd really appreciate it if guys could talk about their experiences working at certain jobs and suggest some places, from their experience.

thanks, i really appreciate it.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Waiter and Tourguides

My Suggestion: Become a waiter or a tourguide, those jobs were alright and it forced me to be a bit more assertive.

*Shrug* Even retail is a step up from working where I work (Subway). The only thing lower is a janitor... Than again, he probably makes more than me. Damn it. But despite the fact that I have a lame job... I still work with the public and get to talk to a lot of people.
