"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.

Alright, here it is.

I have read a lot of the advice and bible and hand book and the consences is that looking at a friend as anything more than a friend is a no no.

I have gone other routes and been with a bunch of other girls- none that kept my attention and I always end up back thinking about my friend. Our friends treat us somewhat like a couple, we get along great and we are both real comfortable around each other.

Now this has been an on and off attraction for a couple years that has came close to becoming more on a couple of occasions- But I always backed away so that I wouldn't screw up the friendship and because I had in my mind after reading on here that it was a bad idea.

Our friends figure that we will end up together and one said that I should just make a move and get on with it already.

After much thought I figure I have ignored her as a possibility when I should have just went for it.

So as conveluted and cunfused as this probably sounds I think things are finally clear- to me- time will tell ;)

Fire suit on...:D
 

"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.

Yes, if you are attracted then make a move... Don't think about the friendship, because you'll either make a bad move and it'll be awkward, or you make a good move and you have a relationship.

Don't follow any attitudinal advice on this, just make a move...

damn thief, what a cheap knock off from the fantastic four. whatever, *stolen*. lol, I stole *stolen*, so don't blame me, it was there for the taking;)

So Pimp said it, and it's been said before, nobody takes the time to really listen though.

Make your move, if the time is wrong, and you both deserve better, bopth of your emotions will tell you. Hey if you play your cards and her emotions right, you might even get to boink her by really meaning that you want to be JUST FRIENDS after all.

Good luck, I hope So Pimp's message leads you to many years of happy marriage.

Thanks guys- I will.

I am going to be patient and find the right time- but I will update.
 

"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.
