"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 went out with this girl the first time, and she still had a distant boyfriend at that time. They hardly went out, and only contacted each other once every few days. She was cool when i kino'ed her shoulder, waist, and touching the hands. However, when i went for holding her hands, she was reluctant.

Now, this girl is on the verge of breaking up with her boyfriend. I'm going out on dinner with her tonight. Is kino a MUST every time? Yesterday she was telling me about some predictions game over the phone, and said she needed our hands to complete the rest. Most probably i'll mention that tonight. But what should i do for the rest of the kino game? :rolleyes:
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

There is a big difference between kino and holding a girls hand. As comfortable I have been getting with kino, I usually reserve holding hands for girls I'm dating. Heck I think holding hands is something that actually happens after you've kissed. BTW I'm not saying that you can grab her hand to help her out of your car or in similar situations like that.

So do more kino, flirt, tease. If you end up sitting next you her you can put your arm around her shoulder. You can also do that while walking her or to guide her.

You do want to be looking for opportunities to kiss her.

Maybe i'd replace "putting my arm around her shoulder" with "putting my arm around her waist", as she is 5'9" and i'm 5'7".
Honestly I don't know. I haven't tried that yet with girls. Around the waist seems more intimate. Unless somebody gives you better advice I think it's best to just go through a period of trial and error. If you're sitting next to her on a couch feel free to put your arm around her.

Most important thing. You must be comfortable with it. You want it to seem natural.

So Kino >> Kiss >> Hold hands?
Actually it's Kino >> Kiss >> kuddle

LOL kidding. Yeah I think it's, kino, kiss, hands. To me holding hands is something that's reserved for couples. But it's OK to take her hand and lead her somewhere. But holding hands just for the sake of doing it is different.

Some more more opinions would be good.

Alright, i went out with her. We ended up chilling at this place with long, flat rocky platforms.

I was lying down on my bag while she was walking around in circles. She asked for my bag but i wouldn't give it to her until she asked playfully. Then, she lied down with her head resting on my bag. I told her to move aside, and we ended up lying head to head, but our bodies pointing in opposite directions, if you can picture it.

It was cool, except that she did not turn her head to face me. She was looking at the other side. Well, i kino'ed her hair and guessed what shampoo she uses. Touched her ear a little to see her earrings.

I feel that this girl is giving a distant vibe in and out. Sometimes we can be close and comfortable, but she just won't do it the whole time.

When i'm walking with her, she would walk faster or keep a distance, sometimes with her head turned to the other side, as if making an attempt to shun me.

I can honestly say i am pretty confused by the mixed signals.

She texted me after she got home, and here is how our conversation went from my reply onwards.

Me: Alright we got 1 more outing left.
Her: I thought this was the last.
Me: Ya, someone has been naughty.
Her: Who? Me? You gotta be kidding.
Me: Yeah, someone has been shunning and walking away from me. ~_~
Her: I told you i lack sympathy.

Usually my texts to her would be flirty, C&F, sexual. Hence, she mirrors me a lot on that. Well, i tried to put it in a way that i wasn't making a really serious statement out of it. But all i got was some fluff talk.

Any field-tested and working advice for the mixed signals?
 

"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.

And it's over. I would be extremely surprised if you manage to hook up with her.

It didn't seem like she was into you at all.
