"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 have been noticing a disturbing phenomenon for a while now, and I finally realized what I was doing wrong.
When I'm up to it, I can gather phone numbers like a machine. Withing the first two weeks of this semester I had about ten numbers, all of them 8's or up. Out of that ten (its actually more than ten) , how many have I hooked up with so far?

Two.

There was a great disparity between the phone numbers I get, and the phone numbers that lead anywhere, and its because I wasn't organized. I'm a busy guy. I work two jobs, study, plus I hit the gym religiously. I have a tendency to only reserve mental space for a few girls at a time regardless of how many successful pickups I've had.

i began to think: what would happen if I put the a fraction of the amount of planning/ organizing into my romantic life as I did into my hobbies/studying?

SOME IDEAS:
1) Remember the women!!!!!Ever had a phone number expire cuz, well, your forgot to ever call the girl? Women will sometimes NEXT a guy if he takes an unreasonable time to call.

2)For every given interaction, have a goal in mind, and have the end in mind. you get the number. Decide when you are going to call. Decide if you will leave a message or not, and if you will ask her out or not. Have a plan. Don't just talk just to shoot the **** and talk about boring stuff. Have a tip/technique that you want to try

3) Have a schedule of events/possible date ideas for a time period.

SET SPECIFIC GOALS!!!!! my goals are as follows:
1) At least one date every weekend (especially friday night)
2) At least one kiss close every two weeks
3) At least 3 new phone numbers every two weeks

And if you'e a busy guy like me, pick a top five, but keep rotating the top five. While a chick's in your top five, you flirt, bust, raise attraction, date/close. When you're satisfied there's a connection, you rotate, you replace her with some other girl, and you keep going. That way, your phone numbers don't expire, you have variety, and it allows you to draw back and give a girl the space she needs to chase you- while you're not thinking about her at all.

"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.

lol I love calling girls, or seeing em on the street, and just having no clue who the **** they are when they wrap their arms around you...

What should I do in that situation? I know I rightly can't pull my computer out of my pocket and try and figure out who they are.

I make a file with the following headings for each girl:

Age, Height, Weight, Hotness factor, Does she love me yet,...

Then I fill in the blanks as they become due.
 

"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.

Everyday I make a note of how much I love her on a scale of 1 - 10. I think this really helps me out.

This is a great idea. I would even add everyone I know to the list; people I want to keep networking with and not lose touch with. I would add a "last met" date as a factor.

It's hilarious. You could enter all their stats into a database and then run an algorithm to determine who you should call first to hang out with.

lol Dappler, you go ahead and donate your brain to science and let it work day and night configuring the algorithm to all the changes and possibilities...

it's easier to just do your own thing, and find new girls to talk to, just use your memory and your own judgement
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hahah, actually guys I did think of doing a tracking study with interest level. However so many things factor in on it.

But basically we know if we call a girl too much she could lose interest. Would be interesting to track communication and contact with a girl and try to come up with some sort of statistical proof.

Of course as we know, for something to be statistically significant it is good to have as large of a sample size as possible. That means go out and meet alot of women! Which would solve everyones problems anyways.
