"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.

More women out on "The Hunt" because of the New Year

Have any of you guys noticed this over the last couple of days? Since New Years I've been approached more by women both when I'm out and about and while I am online. They aren't just saying "hi" either, they are truly approaching with a purpose. Even women that had slipped off my radar months ago are coming out of the woodwork. What gives?

Do you guys think that women have chosen to be more aggressive as their New Year's resolution? Has Oprah or "The View" plugged this idea into their heads?

Just Curious
 

"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'd put it down to them having no-one over the holiday period, and getting all lonely. New years seems like the ideal time to do something about it.

maybe they just see the new year as a new opportunity to get a new man in their lives.

That's what I'm guessing but this year it seems that women are a bit more determined. I thought it was just the ones online but even just sitting in a coffee shop or browsing in a bookstore I'm being approached by women that seem more "ballsy" than I had noticed before. No complaints, it's just amusing to watch.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That's what I was thinking. A new years resolution to find a man.

I hear chocolate only does it for so long ;)

Don't forget guys, Valentines Day is only a month or so away, so they could be thinking ahead.

Aren't they scoundrels? Always looking ahead.


Truer words have never been written . . .
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Ahhhh, therein lies their devilish plan... Attempting to spin a web for those who will feed their need for the spoils bestowed upon them an unsuspecting AFCs who have hopes of capturing their admiration with the lure of gifts wrapped in crimson.

I wish I had the problem of girls approaching me!

Girls not approaching me is why I came to sites like this in the first place.

Nothing has changed but I've gotten better at attracting them so they will eventually chase after me!

Eh, just work on being more approachable. Maybe start off by looking at the women around you and notice what makes some more approachable than others.

I got caught once in a book store doing this and locked eyes with one woman who asked outright why I was purposely checking out every woman in the store. I was caught so what could I do? I told her the truth. I was trying to figure out why some women seemed more approachable than others. She gave me a stupid look and told me that she could tell me herself. Long story short, it's more about you than it is them.

Eh, save your money. If you want to visit someplace worthwhile in the states, I'd suggest Denver.

Was out there last month for a ski trip but I didn't see much of the city this time. I love Denver, urban but not too crowded, women are in much better shape than the beasts here in Chicago. Close to skiing, and in the summer rafting, biking, climbing, fishing, etc. I've tried working my contacts out there but haven't been able to find a good job. That's one of the few places I could live where I would consider working in a cube again.
