"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.

I'll be brief. I'm 17. I'm handsome. But I'll I do is play video-games and go online during the weekends. Can someone help break these habits? I wanna go out and kiss girls and drink and party. I feel so retrained. You guys can even get in my ass about not doing anything (no homo). Video-games and **** you up
 

"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 used to be like that. I heard they're thinking of making video game / internet addiction into a mental illness :nervous:

Everything is a mental illness these days, it seems.

Just relax, dude. It's not like if you're about to turn 30 or anything.

I was the same way....

I used to be fat and have no life. I've did a complete 180 since then.

You just need to get out and develop a social life.

It's all about balance. There's nothing wrong with playing videogames as long it's not the only thing that you do. Given your age you may have limitations but there are still avenues open to you which other people only wish they had a chance to do. And by the way, the fun doesn't have to stop once you hit 30 if you have half a personality.

My advice is to find something you always wanted to do. Then do it get help from people or get a job and help yourself. This will also help act dumb as hell in school and get a lot of attention. That way peeople will think you are cool I'm not kidding. I became really popular doing this. Dress nice if you dress poorly and you'll be liked a lot more an even invited to parties. This has happened to me. I made one mistake though I didn't go. Go get away during christmas cook do something you'll be amazed at how well people will treat you.

I was like that for the longest time too, but unfortunately I didn't realize it was a problem until well after 17. All the time I wasted. You just have to put the f*cking controller down and get out there. What do you want us to do, track you down and rip the nintendo cord out of the wall?

In fact, I could have totally written exactly your post when I was 17 (and for years after), except for not having the sense to. I wish I could go back in time and kick my ass into gear and forget about all the videogame sh*t.

love it while it lasts man. i wish sometimes i had more time for videogames and all that jazz. i went through the whole party and bar scene and sure it played a small role in my life and made a big hole in my wallet. if i missed out on those days it wouldn't bother me.

i don't know if it's a genetic thing about videogame addiction because i played the almighty world of warcraft and i could only play that game for an hour or two till it bored me. when i was around your age i played games like it was going out of style. maybe when you hit the age of twenty-somethings you'll grow out of it.

just hit the power button and head out into the world. the games will always be waiting for you when you get home.

"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.
