"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.

blame me for no cell plans...

I saw a HB6 so i went and said.. "um".. no mess-up though, and she just looked confused because i came out of nowhere.. and i gave a same "posture" and expression (so i thought i said um again which i didn't) and she said "um.. what? (because i was just staring at her down without saying anything but um) are you talking about me?"..and then i said.. "yea.." I was looking at her below her head and she looked at the same area as well and she asked "what's wrong with me?".. and i told her "i don't know.. maybe it's that" and i pointed at her shoes.. she said "what's so bad about them?" and i told her.. "it doesn't fit you".. and she didn't say anything so i told her to turn around and she did but she did it slowly with confusion and i told her to stand up straight and walk more like a girl and i grabbed her shoulders. she said "haha thanks" and i said "you got a celly?" and she said "yeah" and remembering i have no cell plans i told her "too bad i can't get your number though, i lost mine" and we left.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

so you're pick up line -if u will
was "um"

then when she looks you say "um" again?

thats so simple, and so stupid - there is almost a bit of genius about it though, because its so different.

i think it could definently be pulled off.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think it's good that you're approaching, but I'm going to give you some tough love here. You did many things wrong in this approach that you want to learn from.

1. Don't say um, it makes you look indecisive.
2. Don't open with an excuse, like you thought her shoes don't fit.
3. Unless you have a reason not to, talk to her for a bit before you close.
4. Stop making lame excuses as to why you can't close her. You could always call her from your home phone.
5. Make more than one approach a day.
6. WHEN YOU ARE LEARNING ATTEMPT TO CLOSE EVERY SET YOU OPEN.

Once again, it's good that you approach. Learn from your mistakes, correct them, and improve your game.

Well.. It was more of a "uh" sound but it's still the same, right? I can't close her and it's better not to give her my home phone, if you wanna know, pm me.


quest: read my post again, i didn't say um again.

I guess people have trouble reading. I was certain you said "um" again.

It doesn't matter though, at least you approached. Keep doing it, I'm sure you'll get better.

Listen to Spirit Fingers advice, it's solid. Why couldn't you close her? Makes no sense to me, there have been times where I had them write something on a pen and paper. I'm sure you can just walk into any store with her and ask if they'll let you use a pen. You can write on anything. If you can't walk into a store ask somebody. Also, stop using C&F as a way to hide your insecurities. You can use it after you fix all of your inner beliefs.
 

"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.

I made an error when i wrote that. I said um at first and then she looked at me and i just stared at her down, but i didn't say um, but i thought i did. I didn't really put time to write carefully. Quest, you were right when you pointed that out but that's not what happened.
