"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.

I propose a new law of the universe:

Relationships can't be MADE, just found.

Why do I say this? Because any attempt to FORCE things has always gone wrong and only came out of insecurity or desperation. If a person doesn't like you, what the hell do you want to make them like you for? The fact that they dislike you is a perfect reason to dislike them in return.

On the flip side, you can FIND common ground with everyone. We're all human and have similar natures and similar desires. So perhaps it takes a bit of tuning in to reach the common ground, but there almost always is one. At the very least, you both like friendships, humour, beauty, excitement and sex, don't you? Few people don't :D

But you can't MAKE this common ground.

"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.

a true point, but what i have realized lately is the you can get 99% of people to like you in the first place if you are an easily likable guy. just something to think about. dont focus on why shes a *****, realize what you can do to make her not be a *****... dont get me wrong im not trying to say be who you arent, but dont be someone they wont like. maybe im crazy.

Everyone's crazy, so don't be so self-effacing! I'm probably half as successful with women than most guys here, I just speak confidently ;)

I do act differently with different people and I think that's ok. But I'm not changing myself - I'm letting out a facet of myself. I think we contain in ourselves a little of the qualities of every other person on earth. Naturally we'll have more to do with those who have more common ground with us. But we can relate with everyone. I think perhaps an "enlightened" or ideal personality could be friends with anyone almost without differentiation (these are peacetimes and there's no real need for conflict between strangers. If we fought over food or something then things might be different).
