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.

EXACTLY...cause then they will think your gay...girls love to have gay friendsWar Against Betaism said:but try to mimic their body language, voice tone, facial expressions without making it obvious and you'll instantly be friends.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Doesn't seem like you know a lot about making friends.mpimpin said:EXACTLY...cause then they will think your gay...girls love to have gay friends
Obviously not in that context.Crazy Asian said:don't mimic voice tone. you don't want to sound girly, so talk in a deep voice.
That doesn't surprise me. You hyphenated girlfriend.HandyAndy said:I am on the football team![]()
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
PERFECT advice!pooparu said:Dude, making friends in high school is easy, you are hurting yourself by thinking that you need a gameplan to make friends.
Go into school, if you are a freshmen, even better, walk up to the first person you see and start talking. I say its better if you are a freshmen because either:
1. You are all gonna be new in a big school.
2. You have been in the school for a while (like a 6-12 school) and you can easily make friends with the new people.
3. You are new, in a school where alot of people know each other. This seems bad, but all the schools I've changed to are like this, and I make friends ASAP. Most people ALWAYS ask, "Hey are you new" if you look friendly/cool enough to talk to (which isn't hard, as long as you aren't hideous).
Get some clothes that make you look nice (not nice lookings clothes, everyone has a style that works for them), get your hair cut, look fresh as possible (you don't have to be jacked to be fresh. I've got a friend who gets a lot of ***** and he's not jacked at all), and just keep a smile on and kick back and relax like you own the place. People will wanna know who the **** this newcomer thinks he is trying to own their place, or why they haven't noticed some kid like you, and from their you can suck them into your world. It's not something that should be thought about, just react.
Mpimpin have a read through some of Ross Jefferies' stuff and you'll find that copying breathing speed, mimicing hand jestures that people use when you repeat the same word they used, talking at same voice level and tone (not pitch), and sitting in similar positions (eg. resting hand on knee) are all ways of building rapport through the target's subconcious.mpimpin said:EXACTLY...cause then they will think your gay...girls love to have gay friends
