"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.

Alright well I did an approach today at my gym for the hell of it. Heres how it went:

Me: So what your story? Ex-boyfirend cheated on you so now you want to learn how to beat people up. (something to that extent, Martial Arts class)
HB: Is this how you always pick-up women? (she wasn't to happy)
Me: No way, my girlfriends would kill me. (back turn, practicing on punching bag)

Three negs later...
Me: Alright lets start over, I'm Milren
HB: Hi Milren, I'm HB.

She became a lot nicer at this point

Anyway heres my dilema. While the negs saved me from falling flat on my face, the fact remains that my response to her pickup accusations weren't nearly as good as they could have been. Any suggestions on how to handle this in the future would be appreciated.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

"HB: Is this how you always pick-up women?"

-->"*Look at her like she's not getting it* YES! You got it! This is how I always pick-up women!"

Drop that and move to some topic.

Don't try to defend yourself from her accuses, it makes you look weak.

"HB: Are you always like this?"
-->"YES! Sometimes I'm even worse, if you like me now you will *love* me when I'm worse :)"

"HB: You are behaving bad"
-->"Thanks for noticing honey ;)"

It doesn't have to be something ultra clever C&F line from God, just agree with her, it's more fun too.

Very good point.

I do a bit of improv and the first thing you would learn in an improvisation class is the rule of "Yes, and..." which states that when your improv partner throws an line at you, you do not refuse his idea but instead build on it.

Yes, and...

LionOne gave a fine example of that and is was also right to point out that your answer doesn't have to be the funniest answer ever. Again, just like in improvisation the comical element doesn't stem from how funny each line is but how the whole things builds up.

- Do you say that to all the girls?
- Yes, and sometimes I get so carried away I even say it to guys. :D
