"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 was wondering, let's say someone could choose between having a LTR or random chicks to f*ck w/e he want, like fbuddies, or simply both!

What do you guys would go for?

LTR has it's benefits:
There is someone who cares for you
You can have sex w/e you want
You can go out with her and have things to say
Pays for you sometimes (at least in my LTR we buy each others drinks everyother date)
Be more emotional with her
Argue (which is a bittersweet thing when it's happening)
And other staff that I can't think of right now!

Being Single:
Sex with different chicks without cheating on someone
Be able to do w/e you want w/e you want, like watch a football game with your friends
FREEDOM in other words, can't think other things that can be best be described as Freedom!

So, what are you guys would want to have and why?

I am in a LTR with a good girl and staff, but feeling a little bored from the whole concept of this LTR, so I was thinking about it... Which is best?!?
 

"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.

I voted 'single' for the moment. I enjoy my single life and spinning plates, having loads of sex and do things the way I want them to happen.

However, I don't see myself being single the rest of my life. As all human beings, even DJs eventually end up in an LTR. However, I refuse to settle for a girl that is unworthy, and at the moment, none of the girls I'm currently seeing is LTR worthy material. They're awesome in bed, have a love for sucking d*ck and seem to be totally in to me. So until that right woman comes a long, I stick to being single!

I cant see why you cant have both - If your dating a girl where you cant go out with your mates when you want or watch football when you like, your with the wrong girl, or your game needs more work.

I'm in a LTR and I can do as I please.

You can even have FB -

Get the best of both words, cheating on her or any chick doesn't bother me.

This is age-dependent. Now at 19, I want to be single and have fun, no strings attached. When I'm older, I'll have an LTR and enter that lifelong LTR called marriage in my mid to late 20s.

Exactly. It takes time and experience to find a good LTR.
 

"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.

Yeah, I agree, this is largely age dependent. I'm actually surprised LTR has as many votes as it does. Since this forum is mostly younger guys, I'd expect them to pick single. And a lot of the older guys here are living out their fantasies from when they were younger :)

Anyway, I picked LTR, just because I like having a partner in life. Someone to help shoulder the load as it were. I also like it that a girl will devote their lives to me (in a manner of speaking).

If the poll had been MARRIED vs. single, I might have voted differently. When you talk about marriage in your mid to late 20s, I actually think that may be a little early. I waited to get married until I was about 33. At the time I thought it was about the perfect age for it, but I don't know, maybe I didn't wait long enough.
