"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.

Postpone date because of cold sore?

Hey,

so there's this HB, I know for sure she likes me a lot and we made out last week at a birthday party, though we were both pretty drunk. Anyway, we set up a date for today. This morning I woke up and I have two cold sores on my lower lip. It's not like it's too noticable but even if I meet her, I won't be able to kiss her or do anything. So how should I play this? Just call her and tell her I'm not feeling well and I'll call her and set up a new date as soon as it's gone?

I just feel like it'd be awkward for our "first date" (sort of) if I knew that I couldn't do anything. Thoughts, postpone or just go and not kiss/do anything?

Thanks in advance
 

"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.

On a first date, I think not kissing her would do as much damage (or more) as rescheduling the date.

Maybe just tell her work's getting out of control and ask her what her sched is like for next week.

In the meantime apply plenty of ColdSore-FX and 1000mg of L-Lysine three times a day. :up:

She probably gave you the damn cold sores!
 

"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.

Hey, thanks for the quick replies! What I ended doing was telling her that I'm not feeling well and won't be making it tonight. I also told her that I'll call her when I feel better and that we can set up another date then.

She replied something about get well soon bla bla. I'll call her when the cold sores are gone and see where it goes. Even if doesn't turn out, there's a million more chicks out there! Thanks again everyone, I love this forum!

I would have postponed.

I get cold sores too, and i always make it a habit to go out as little as possible when this happens.
