"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 came up with this as I fall off my bike at an intersection, in front of these two black strippers, and bunch of people inside a bus, and other folks inside cars. I walk back, and I'm fvcking smiling, and they looking at me, like wtf you doing trying to blow a red and falling off your bike in the middle of intersection trying to kill yourself, and I'm fvcking smiling and go about my business and on my way. Those b1tches had their mouth wide open, jaw dropped, like wtf. Fear not, I never wavered, like nothing happened.


Falling down is never pretty. I don't like falling down. But I LOVE getting up!
 

"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.

As an aside Falling Down is one hell of a great movie.

Michael Douglas's best role ever I'd say.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
Shouldn't catch phrases have a rhyme in them, or otherwise some strange and unique statement? Lol.

I've missed it as well.
 

"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.

Well, I'm thinking this.

You get shut down, part of the game, it's never nice. Don't like being shut down. But I love moving on.
