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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Great post. I feel this board needs something like this to loosen up the "strict tactics and beliefs" that are posted her all the time. Rep'dSilverSonnet said:Let go of yourself. Learn the techniques, finally make the a part of you, now let go. Just let yourself go, enjoy life, enjoy the moment your in, it's all you can control and be in. So, enjoy it, it's not gonna be there forever.
Too many guys on this site are tensed up about techniques, how they look etc.
I'll sum this up for you in a few simple points.
1.) Love yourself for who you are, and dont care what ANYBODY else thinks.
2.)ALWAYS keep improving
3.)Live your life for only yourself, nobody else
4.) Just have fun
5.)Let yourself flow into the moment, be the moment. Be pro-active, not reactive.
Forget about the Nice guy Vs. Jerk debate. Forget all those insignificant questions racing through your minds right now, forget about how funny your being. Because lads, one day your going to stop thinking about the techniques and what the woman is thinking of you. And then it's going to be too late to enjoy life. Your going to die someday, so make the best, AND THEN MORE of your life. Make it a spectacle, make it something to be proud of, something to be admire, enjoyed. Be a star.
And ALWAYS be true to yourself.
A little advice from a little guy

No, I disagree with the advice. The best things to do with either type is to publicly insult them to the point where it ruins their evening.Nighthawk said:Rep points - and Jack that advice would help you with the attention *****s and flakes if you applied it correctly. Maybe it won't help with the ones who seriously want to be abused, but why worry about them?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
