"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.

I have a very hot female friend.

I told her I was interested in more, and predictably, she wasn't. Blah blah.

Am I kissing up to her? No.

I'm not talking to her anymore.

If she comes crawling, great. If I see her again, I'm going to kiss her on the lips. If that bothers her, tough.

Zero effort. Possibly low chance of payoff, but I don't really give a damn either way.

Fieldmarshall Rommel, when he was leading his infantry company in World War I, instructed the men to begin firing on stands of trees, before they saw any enemies. The reasoning was, essentially, even if there was only a 1% chance of making a hit, the law of diminishing firepower made it pay off. It was a numbers game.

Much like dating. If this girl doesn't see what she has, she can eff off and I'm already working on the next ones.

Oh, and hi, gents.
 

"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.

Oh, I know I'm going to be successful.

And I care about her, very much, enough so that I'll let her be with a guy who's going to treat her well. That is, me.

But I'm #1 and I look out for #1
