"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.

All my friends are such douchebags.

I like this girl Laura, who's best friends with Jessica. My friend Alejandro tells me that Jessica wants to know when I'm going to ask out Laura, and I'm not supposed to know Jessica wants to know this. I don't believe him, because he could be lying. Also because I've never got the signs that Laura likes me, except the ok with me kinoing her. In fact, during English, she totally ignores me unless I talk to her (well, we do sit on opposite sides). I've called her maybe 5 times for homework help, once to "just talk", up until now. But she never once called me. In the halls, she always walks by me and talks to her friends instead. Never did the hair twirl thing. She has asked about me and my ex-girlfriend before though. Often times mentioning I'm a bad boyfriend because of the things I did to my ex-.

So I go out on Tuesday to the bowling alley with my friend Alejandro, and supposedly Jessica is suppose to come. I also ask Laura to go (right after school Tuesday), she says sure, but then she calls me an hour before says she can't cuz her parents can't drive her that far out. Anyway, Jessica decides to stay home, and ditch us. So when we get there, we find out the BA is closed, and Alejandro decides to go to Jess's house. I decide to go home. When Alejandro gets to Jessica's house, I call to check up on him, and I ask to talk to Jessica. Jessica asks if I like Laura. I say yes, and she tells me to ask her out. I ask if Laura likes me, and she kind of beats around the bush. She says she can't screw Laura's trust, but kind of says Laura does. Also mentions Laura also says she doesn't really know me. Which is weird because I've known Laura for over a year, but only hung out with Laura once outside school. I guess girls are different. Jessica also mentions that she's happy that we'll be able to double date.

So Wednesday I call Jessica again, and we 3-way the phone convo (****ing pervs) but Laura doesn't know Jess's on the other line. I small talk Laura, and then say "Don't worry about Bowling, we didn't go. Line was too long. Anyway, Me, Drew (Jess' boyfriend), and Jess are going out Sat... we should double date, want to come along?" Laura again says "Sure." When Laura gets off the phone, Jessica tells me Drew and I should pick the date.

Thursday is Thanksgiving.

Today is Friday. Today I call Drew, and tell him we're suppose to pick. Drew seems to brush me off, and give me a "I don't know." I told him to call his gf and find out what we're doing and call me back. This is about 8:00. He seemed annoyed. At 9:15, I say **** it, I don't care what Drew thinks, I just want Laura. Drew doesn't answer, and so I call Jess. Jess says we probably won't go out Sat (tomorrow), cuz Jess's hurt and "Laura's parents prob wouldn't be able to do anything".


Based on that long rant... what does it sound like? Laura likes me, but her parents won't let her get out of the house? Laura's parents is her excuse not to go out with me? Or do I have some ****ty luck with going out with friends?


I also thought just talking to Laura would be the best way to cut the foreplay, but am I diving in to something she's totally unaware of? Any advice is appreciated.



PS -
Yes, I read the DJ Bible. Yes, I've done a little bit of AFCing here. Yes, I realize being rejected twice is a no-no in Anti-Dump's book, but is it really a rejection?
 

"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.

I've been rejected, too, but not lately. All I want to do is cut through the crap, and find out. What would you suggest?

If you actually like her, she does NOT like you.

That's how it works and that rule is forever true and will always be true.

Between both sexes.

Mutual love or whatever is usually not as simple as you may think and probally too complicated to imagine. "I stay because I need blah blah" it will NEVER be. "I really like you!" and "I really like you!".

That's impossible. Rock bottom truth here. Sorry buddy.

But as for some constructive help there.. she's still just a confused 16 year old girl.. she's not masturbating to your image at night or anything like you probally are with her, but if you get the balls.. she'll probally still go out with you. See what happens, if you do it right.. you'll start liking her less and she'll be the one getting wet at the thought of your name.

lol this post is so creepy and yet so true.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Another title disappointment ><, damn it!

Man, talk directly to Laura. The best way to find out is to do it yourself. Besides...double dates aren't fun unless there's definite interest from everyone. For you...it doesn't sound like it.
 

"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.

Thanks. You're always good for advice, Doc.

Should I just talk to her Monday at school, and judge where she's at? I can sit with her at lunch, and figure it out. Or should I play it cool like nothing happened, and try one more time (being denied = just give up)?

Why the hell do you ask your friend about your "girlfriend"?

That's the biggest sack of crap post I've ever seen. You need to get a life, and stop pissing it away with gossip and "I like her, does she like me?" "I think she likes me, do I like her?" crap.

As to whether she likes you or not...Ask yourself: would I like me, if I was in her position?

I hope she loathes you, I know I would.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

As much as it pisses me off, you're right. I dropped the ball on this one. Live and learn.

Yup. Just got denied. She likes some "other" guy. Damn I looked desperate looking back. It's sad too, because she had no tits or ass. I'm going to bulk up, and when that ***** comes crawling back, I'm going to reject her.
 

"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.
