"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 am putting together a new profile for a dating site and am looking for some critique/ideas. Here's what I have so far:

-----

A stimulating and interesting conversation is probably one of the best things in the world. One can lose complete track of time learning something new and exciting from another person. I am always meeting new people from every state in the country.

I love to travel. I currently go on numerous government sponsored trips to the hottest vacation spots in the worlds premier warzones! Unfortunately the locals in these areas aren't very friendly so I plan on taking a real vacation sometime in the future. Places like Japan and Thailand interest me a lot.
 

"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.

I'd edit it to:

I am always meeting new people and love to travel, often on government business and sometimes in dangerous places, even war zones. I'll be taking a real vacation soon, possibly Japan or Thailand.

I am always meeting new people and love to travel, often on government sponsored trips to the worlds premier warzones. Seeing as how the locals in those areas aren't very friendly I'll be taking a real vacation soon, possibly to Japan or Thailand.

In addition to my workplace excitement I enjoy working out and playing hockey. I of course hit up the pub with the guys from time to time.

Boring, anyone can say either. If you must talk about those things give insight discribing the situations. Basically answer "why" in terms which a woman would appreciate it.
