"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.

Would have posted on Thursday, but unfortunately we didn't go out, so I had nothing to report about and have left it to today to update instead.

So instead of going out Wednesday everyone decided to stay in, I was a little gutted because I was quite up for it but oh well means I saved a bit of money this week only going out the once on Friday. I did go gym Wednesday though with Rob, James and Vash, me and James split away from the other two as wouldn't have been a good circuit if we had all stayed together, we did legs which went pretty well although me and James didn't do squats as he's still not allowed to do them as he's still recovering from a knee operation last November.

Thursday was fun, played a bit of football about lunchtime with a handful of the boys, and then in the evening watched a couple films in Laurie's room with her, Ciara and a guy called Moz.

Friday was good, I didn't go gym with the other 3 because I didn't have time to go with them in-between my lectures. So I missed my Friday session which I'm still a little dissapointed about. We went to a local diner for dinner before going out, it was hilarious as they do a meal for about £8 which they call the beast, if you finish it you get a shirt and your picture put up on a wall of fame. Vash thought he'd try it, and got just over half way before he caved. Me and Emeritt helped him finish it off as by the end it took him 5 minutes to eat one piece of bacon. In the night we went out straight to Oceana, it was fun the drinks were 3 for 1 so everybody got really drunk. I probably got a bit too wasted. I remember talking to some HB8 for a while, but I haven't got a clue what we spoke about, I didn't get her number and I've forgotten her name, so for next time I'll know not to drink so much. At the same time though I remember talking to a HB7 about her friend, who's boobs were everywhere. Didn't go anywhere as she wasn't interested in anything much after that. We got home and some people had moved a guy's room out onto the landing, so me and Ralphs jumped onto the bed and pretended to go to sleep, about 15 minutes later Laurie(HB7) got back, sorta shouted my name from the bottom floor when I was on the top floor ran up the stairs and jumped ontop of me on the bed, ended up spooning for a bit and then her flatmate Ellen came and put her to her actual bed. I don't remember anything after that but I woke up in my bed not having lost anything.

Then yesterday not a lot happened, went to KFC in the morning with Laurie, Ciara, Moz and Axel. Came home did a bit of work and then watched the football with Emeritt, James and Ralphs. Then last night we stayed in and watched a film.

Today got a bit of work to do, and then a little later I'm going to the pub to watch the football. I'm going out tomorrow night for J's birthday will try and post a report on Tuesday I guess.
 

"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.

Squat you lazy *****. His knee operation doesn't stop you.

Make some progress, man. I'm really disappointed to see you going out to bars so often and not pushing yourself. If I got to go out and drink as often as you do, man...
