"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 I called this girl up and set a date for this Tuesday. I had initially suggested taht we go to this neat little theme restaurant, but I'd never been there and she said that she has and it's kinda chuck-e-cheese-ish. So that's no good.

So I need a good idea for an action date...only thing is they're calling for rain, so it would probably have to be indoors. I really don't know how I feel about shooting pool...I've used that on the last two dates I've been on.

I can't wait for summer, dammit. Someone give me an idea for a cheap, fun date. Indoors.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Action date eh? Indoors you say? Oh come on, this is an easy one.

Ok but seriously, Laser Tag would probably be cool. Maybe even indoor Paintball, unless she's one of those wimpy girls (as most are, not that there's anything wrong with that).

I've got a membership at an indoor climbing gym. I'm just wondering if something like that isn't going to provide ample opportunity for getting-to-know-you kind of stuff, or kino for that matter.

Squirrels, indoor climbing is cool but make it fun, not all quiet and serious. Like race to the top but then fall behind a little and start grabbing her leg screaming (in a joking manner) that you're going to fall. Then, afterwards, take her out for ice cream/drink/whatever for the getting to know her action.
 

"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.

LOL...that would be extremely unsafe. Have you been before?

We have a boulder cave where the climbs are relatively short and you go without a harness...I could put her on some of those and spot her there. Or I could belay for her...but racing alongside her and grabbing her ankles isn't exactly a good idea. I'd hate to be responsible for injuring her on the first date. ;)

She sounds like she's into the idea, though, so we'll see how it goes. If nothing else, it'll be a learning experience.

Hahahahahahaha, Rock clinbing behind her and using kino on her ankles just doesn't get the same reaction, does it? :) Kino on the ankles - that'll be a first for you - I think. :rolleyes:
