"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, this is no big deal -- I'm not deliberating on whether or not to buy some chick $100 worth of crap or anything like that.

There's this chick that I'm fairly sure is into me. She gave me her number the other day and told me pretty explicitly to use it. I know her kinda well from class and I'm into her but I haven't really let her on to that too much.

I'm busy today, and throughout the weekend, but I want to text her, just to say something like 'Hey, Happy Valentines to ya.' Or whatever...

What do you guys think?
 

"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.

I think its a bad idea. Just make a date whenever you have time and don't mention Valentines Day.

yea I dont see what's wrong with texting it, though I wouldn't do anything besides that. you might even add to the text "what are your plans on xx day" or whatever you need to say to schedule the date

Dude this is how it works:

Chicks play valentines up.
Dudes play valentines down.

Thats why you don't mention anything unless they do first.
 

"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.
