"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.

OK so heres the deal. Last year i went to a private school and i was an afc. There was this amazing girl in my spanish class that sat really far away from me, but I was an afc so i didnt have the balls to talk to her. A year has passed, I go to a different school, Im pretty confident and im not afraid of talking to anyone, but my school has like no hot chicks. I regret not getting to this website last year. But anyway, a good friend of mine knows her and has her as a friend on myspace. Now the only way of talking to her again is through myspace, witch sux, cuz i dont want to seem as a creepy dude, and i think its lame to start talking to someone uve never met through the internet:nono: . Well anyway, what shoud i tell her over myspace to get her interested? I was thinking of something like "Hey I saw u on nates profile, and i recognized u from my spanish class last year. How u been?" But then shed be like WTF? he only talks to me through myspace, wat a loser. Help?!?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

im talking to you right now over the internet. does that make me a creep?
stop worrying about what she will think. just send her a message like "hey. i came across your profile on nate's page and you looked familair. i think i may have had spanish class with u? do you remember me?" and go from there. if she likes you she will respond. if she doesnt respond then who cares. life goes on...

she would see the pic on your profile and maybe remember youe face. who cares if she remembers you or not. you are just using this spanish class reference to start a conversation. once she responds back then put your bid in and try to see if you have any things in common. if you feel that she seems like fun and want to hang with her then make a suggestion that the two of you hangout one day and then exchange phone numbers to setup a date...

:rockon: The spanish class is just an excuse to say hi. Worst thing she can do is not respond.....boo hoo. But, don't act like you are being friendly just to be her friend, or it'll stay that way. And, if I were you, I'd say hi and keep your conversation in Spanish.
 

"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.

What happened? You out with her now, or still waiting for a reply?

That's the right idea. I know you already sent it, but it would have been a little better if you said "I think I remember you..." rather than "Do you remember me?" It sounds less needy and more like she's in YOUR world rather that your in her world.

In any event, let us know what happens. And in the future, do not be afraid of approaching a female and saying hello...especially if she shows signs of interest.

Hey guys sorry for not replying, anyway i sent her that message inside the friend request, which was a bad idea, i mean she added me as a friend but she didnt respond, and worse yet is that in her myspace it says that shes going out with this guy and is currently "in a relationship" so watever, i guess it was my fault for not talking to her last year. Dont matter though ill find someone better.... eventually
 

"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.
