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.

Omigosh, are you talking about your 21 year old?Desdinova said:Do you find that you're a magnet for women who are wanting to move out of their parents' house? I almost get the feeling that once women find out I own my own house, they see it as a free ticket to move out.
I'm a magnet for women before they see my house. :rockon:Desdinova said:Do you find that you're a magnet for women who are wanting to move out of their parents' house?
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.
Actually, I'm more or less referring to the 34 year old. She lived with her parents because she apparently has so much debt that she can't afford to live on her own. She also said she 'can't live alone'.zekko said:Omigosh, are you talking about your 21 year old?
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.
Ha, apparently it works both ways. I have definitely known some guys who liked to sponge off of women who had a place to live.penkitten said:yes i went through that with guys when i bought my own house. so.... i became very careful on who i told where i lived.
