"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Start off by playing songs first. They will keep you more motivated. Forget learning chords independantly by themselves, that is boring and you will almost always forget where your fingers are supposed to go.

Go to any guitar website and search for any of your favorite songs. Love songs in particular because it's the love songs that will enable you to learn the other chords that surround any key. You will notice a pattern and realize that every popular song follows the same damn formula. Start tonight. Print a sheet with pictures of the finger formation to the major chords and their minors. Do this and you will have learned all the chords and thier keys and some songs in one month as A WHOLE instead of a step by step formula.

That's a problem for everyone when they first start playing. You need to build up the strength in your hand and fingers before you'll be able to get a perfect bar chord. It took me about 3 weeks of practice before I could get it to sound clear.

Practice it every day and eventually you'll have the strength to pull it off.
 

"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.

Print out chord guitar chords of songs you like (HarmonyCentral), then get yourself a good Guitar Chord book with pictures and clear diagrams. Guitar Center has some good DVD series for beginners.

After that, if you can afford it, and you really want to get decent as fast as possible, invest in a few guitar lessons. Totally worth it.

Both of my sons play guitar. They prefer learning songs using tabs. You should learn chords too, but tabs seem to make it easier to learn songs.


This is the site my boys use to get tabs:
