"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 guys, what the key to NOT misreading friendliness for flirting?

is the only way to know to ask a woman out?

or is it possible to know whether she is flirting or just being friendly?

"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.

In my opinion, there really isn't a way to know for sure. Some guys have these "formulas" they've contrived, where they think they can decipher a women's true intentions, but I think it's hog wash.

The human pscyhe is far too complex for a simple formula to be accurate.

Many girls like to flirt just to inflate their egos. I mean, if there was possible to know 100% sure what is flirting and what is not, it would be still unsafe because many girls DO FLIRT when in fact they just want the ego boost.

The only way to know is to ask her out.

Exactly. It can be very frustrating because you want "clear" signals but some women don't care, they want to KNOW you want them regardless of any intentions they may or may not have with you.

YEAH.

But please, don't get that "oh, so if I ask her out and she says NO then I'll give her a egoboost yadda yadda yadda" crap. Always remember: it's about YOU, not her. If you want her, GO FOR IT. Do NOT make any excuses for your desires. If she says NO, it's always good, because you now KNOW that it is not going to happen: you can find another one without any regrets :D
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

EVERYTHING IS AN IOI. Assume everything she does to you means she wants to jump you. Play it that way, then you don't have to try and figure out what it means.

for there to be "fliriting" there needs to be sexual tension (not just on your side). Touching, dirty looks, coded sexual coments......
