"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.

So you got your heart broken - you didn't protect it. You made some mistakes. We all do from time to time.

But, you see, your heart is a muscle. And anyone who's done any work in the gym knows that in order for a muscle to grow, you have to first break it down. Only then will it grow bigger and stronger. Your heart may be broken down right now, but with time, personal growth and self improvement, your heart will get stronger than it ever was. Sure, we need to protect our hearts, but if you find yourself in this situation, never fear - you'll come back tougher and better. You won't make those same mistakes again.

Like any muscle, your heart will get stronger.

Just give it time and work hard.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Absolutely. Where you are now, is not where you'll be a year from now. Don't look back on past hurts -- only strive to make yourself stronger.

Good post, and true. When people get their hearts broken they often fail to realise that the best healer of all is time.

Get it out through your head "THERE IS NO HEART!"

Your heart is not broken, this is a western chick vocabulary crap and beliefs about love that are flying around and should not be used by Men. Let the chicks and the AFC's write the poems of broken heart and cry in a little corner while they try to make sense of it all.

Accept that its over and move on. Don't dwell on it for too long or live in the past. Live in the now.

This is what Heart is to you?

Because it looks nothing like a real Heart:

It actually looks more like an upside down chick's ass:

Every time I see a heart I think of an ass and not pretty rainbows or bows.
 

"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.

I don't agree DJ damage, it still must be said that people do find themselves emotionally attached to women eventually, and sometimes when they leave it can be painful. Sure, the DJ tactics are useful when you are meeting, attracting and playing women, but eventually every normal person will want to settle down and have a family. If you've been with someone for many years and they (for some unknown reason) leave you, or even get killed in a freak accident, then the pain felt would be immense. It isn't a broken heart literally speaking, but people do call it that poetically, and I have no problem with the expression.
