"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.

Paternity fraud

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Since we all agree that paternity tests should be administered, I'd like to know what the most graceful way - and moment - is to broach the subject. Keep in mind if you say that you want to get one, you are saying "I don't trust that I'm the only penis who was in your vagina 9 mos. ago." While it's sensible perhaps to THINK these things, how do you say them without sounding like an insecure idiot?

And when? Early on in a marriage? At the moment of birth? How much time is there between the actual birth and the signing of the certificate to do it secretly? I really know very little about this subject.
Well, I was speaking of unwanted pregnancies in particular. If you've been trying to conceive, I think that asking for a paternity test would severely compromise your marriage and paint you as an insecure lunatic, as you mentioned.

I'd wager you could have it done in the hours after birth while the mother is in recovery. However, I wouldn't be surprised if hospitals won't do paternity tests without the mother's consent. Some states even require a wife's consent for the husband to have a vasectomy! (but of course they don't require the husband's consent for the woman to have her tubes tied)
