"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 just barely had a run in with a very annoying kid at school. I had seriously injured my backside(possibly broke my tailbone or something else)tubing the night before, and this kid came up when I was laying down, despite various warnings from my friends and kicked me right in my injury. So I freaked out got up and punched him a few times. (I was in a lot of pain and on paid meds) and then I left outside, and ditched the next period and went home to sleep. The kid isn't very well liked and people know me as an easy going guy who is not easily provoked. So would this hurt my rep at school at all? Would it have negative effects or maybe even positive effects?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Probably won't really effect your rep, people will be talking about it on Monday though.

Shouldn't effect it too much. He was trying to AMOG you as he knew about your injury. Most likely people will think he was being a prick and side with you.

It was being an immature lil douche, but it was also trying to out-alpha him. Looks like it backfired on the lil **** though.
 

"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.

Hey, thanks guys, it's good to know that it really won't affect much. And I like the forget about it idea. The reason he kicked me too is that I was laying down and he likes to annoy me so he came up and kicked me when I was sleeping, and right as I heard his voice I knew exactly who had woken me up. My friends were pretty worried about me freakin out but I smoothed that over. And maybe people talking about it on monday will be a good thing who knows. They would probably side with me even if I was in the wrong too, because people generally like me and if they hate me it is for no reason like the kid who kicked me.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

My back is going to be fine, and my tailbone is feeling a bit better. I actually had the kids "friends" come up to me today and tell me that sometimes they are looking for an excuse to punch him sometimes too. And I will have no problem with the modesty thing, I don't say much anyway and I certainly don't brag.
