"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.

Another thing I thought about today while standing around at work.

Think about your life right now. Think about the people you interact with, and the ones you see once, maybe twice. Think about where you might be a year from now, where you will be ten years from now.

Got it?

Now I want you to think about that guy that cut you off on the street by the Starbucks a year and a half ago. Oh, you can't remember? Did it even happen? Does it matter who that guy was?

No?

Well how about the one time this guy you used to go to school with a year ago, didn't say hi to you in class. Do you really care about that right now?

No?

Ok, think about that hot girl that you just saw, the one with the black pants and that shiny lip gloss. Oooh yeah, her. Hair down to the waist, booty so scrumptious your nike's are turning into pools. Now, think about what would happen if you ask her out, and she rejects you. Will you care in a year? Will you even remember her in a year? In ten years?

So why are you getting flustered? The crowd? You think they'll remember this in 6 months, much less a year? Ten?

Afraid of your boys reactions to you getting denied? Did they go up to her? Did they even try? Then why are they splashing the hater-aide on you by spittin all that jibba-jabber?

Seriously folks, Rejection: why do you even care? None of the girls that said no to you will matter the second after you get their reply. Most you won't even remember about in a year, or ten years. So why not chalk this up to lady luck, and go for it. You will either get some sex, or another memory that will soon fade away out of it. Combine this with your
options , and you have no reason to worry about rejection.

So uh...why are you still reading this? Go get those rejections/numbers!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
