"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.

"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.

Think of an inside joke between the two of you or something.

Example: This chick I've been seeing and I were out playing around on a playground (actually very fun, try it sometime). Well, we end up curled up in the slide, which was a full tube, making out. I was laying down in it and she was all contorted. Anyway, during the making out I licked her on the side of the face and she tasted salty (we'd been sweating from running around). So naturally I say, "You taste kinda salty.... I'm calling you Pretzel from now on" because she was twisted up in the slide and she tasted salty. Naturally she loved it, and now it's our little "inside thing".

Try to think back to something like that. If you've got nothing, make one happen

hehe, no need to be embaressed or anything mate...

What's her name? My gf's name is Helen so I just call her stupid things like helenypops, helsypops etc...haha

there's the generic pet names as well, sweetie, babe, sexy etc.

Bit of info about her etc?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You should have called her Helen of Troy.
 

"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.

Metal fan, I think some names are hard to come up with nicknames for . I mean what would you call a girl named Helen? Hel? or a girl called Darlene... darling? Find something about her and give her a nickname. Like my last gf I called her Friz because she had curly frizzy hair. I also called her a Lone Knight rider cos she rode me far into the night, lol.

Best advice posted. Think of an inside joke between the two of you, and go from there. Does she look/remind you of anything?

In the past, I gave the nickname "schmoopie" to a girl. Somehow the discussion of boogers came up (dont ask) and when she was little, she called them schmoopies.. ever since than, that was her nickname.

Avoid nicknames such as: Princess, baby, beautiful. Completely wh*red up. Think of something original, not to sweet.
In high school, avoid the nicknames b*tch, c*ntface, etc because girls in HS tend to be insecure. The last thing you want is to spark up a fight on such a small, avoidable thing. Notice how the nickname I gave was not too sweet, yet it wasn't as offensive as the other ones posted in this thread? That's the kind of nickname you should be looking for.

Hope I helped,
Axcell.
