"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.

there is one kid in my school that is the absolute god of the school and everyone knows it. He is a senior, complete jock football player, every single chick loves him. If there is one person who is the man its him...

but im not friends with him, alot of my friends are though, so how do i meet him. I figure if i become accquainted with him my popularity will go straight up, and also i would learn about how to be a don juan.

so how do i meet a guy (sounds real gay)
he needs to like me enough to atleast add me to his party lists hmmmm
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Why stand in someone elses shadow? Why not stand up to him and be better than he is? It is possible, if you believe it so. Being the private in a generals world is no fun man. Work on it.

Honestly who cares about your poularity? Your gonna look back and realise that you spent your time trying to be popular and forgot to have a good time. I bet that kid your tlaking about doesnt worry about staying the popular kid, he just has a good time and people flock to him.

Dont kiss a guy like thats @$$. My group of friends (mostly basketball and football players) all flock to this one guy (starting QB since soph yr.) I was good friends with him last year but this year we fought over a girl and now we HATE each other. Anyway, he likes people that just kiss his @$$ ALL the time. And I would never do that. It is better to be your own person and be a man about it.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You say he's a senior right? And since you're 17 I would guess you are probably a junior. That means in two months he'll be gone and nobody will care if you were acquainted with him. So what I would do is start acting better then him now so you have a good foundation for next year. That way you can be "mr. cool guy."

Don't become his b*tch, but don't resent him either. Personally, I'd just try to befriend the guy, become acquaintences with him. You can learn from him. And you'll get invited to some parties. If this guy really is the jock-god that you make him out to be, getting on his bad side would be very bad for your reputation.

I know people try to say that you shouldn't care for your reputation, but it's important, especially in a social network like HS. Having a bad-rep in high school can negatively affect your social life.

My advice is, if he's worth being acquainted with, go for it. Don't suck up to him like everyone else does, but odds are he has a big ego, so don't act like you are the king either.
 

"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.
