"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.

They gather all their courage and to ask a girl out and then go "Hey.. Can we hang out sometime?"

What's gonna happen if you say that? She'll say "yeah sure.." and then push it out of her mind as fast as she can.

So remember guys in order to get a girl to not flake, ask her to come along to something with you, give her a reason to be interested and not creeped out.

I promise you this will reduce flaking.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

As much as you are right, to do this takes more effort than most guys are willing to give it (not saying doing this is difficult). The comfort that ambiguity gives a guy when asking a woman outweighs how his ego would feel if she declines after he not only makes the effort to ask but also to plan some elaborate outing.

SO. SO. True. Real words of wisdom right here.

Actually, I'm fairly specific. And I still get no's. Good advice... basic, but good. Sometimes it can be good for us to go back to the basics, but I follow that concept already. I've never been one for that kind of ambiguity.

I never ask women out... might be a crazy approach but it works well for me, I tease them/flirt until they can't take it anymore and THEY are begging me to go out with them. Even then I still act pretty uninterested for a while...

I just feel uncomfortable asking people out, it feels very scripted to me... i like reeling them in. It spikes their interest, makes my job way easier and I KNOW that when I go out with a girl, she really, really, really wants to be out on that date with me... no wondering "hmm i wonder if she's really into me or not", if she begged for it in means she wants me bad.

Might be a backwards approach for many people but it's never failed me.
 

"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.
