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 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.
Try craigslist.com or even your local neighborhood newspaper. Occasionally you can find people posting that they need or would want to be a room mate.Originally posted by al77
There are many website that has a small database of rooms and roomates. They usually want sround $30 per month for the access to their system. It is not big deal to pay it, but one site has a very small database of roomates and paying $30 at each site is just too much.
How did you look for a room\roomates?
What places you posted your ad?
Guys, thanks for the ideas. I trid craiglist - it is not popular in my area unfortunately. Local newspapers have all crap we can imagine except "looking for a rommate", gotta look for more newspapers.Originally posted by diablo
Most apartment complexes have programs in place to help potential roommates find each other... at least around my area. Ask the apartment's office what they'd recommend you do to find someone to live with you - since it's in their best interests they'll be more than happy to help.
Here goes - the apartments want to make money. You provide them with that money by leasing a place to live. If you can't afford to live by yourself, you have three options:Originally posted by al77
This is a very creative idea about apartment complexes - I would never thought about it.
....actually I wish I would understand the logic behind it:
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
diablo, Thanks!Originally posted by diablo
Since 1 takes money away from them, and it's unlikely you'll be able to do 3, that leaves us with 2. If they help you find a roommate, they're helping themselves rent out an apartment, which makes them cash. I don't know how else to say it without being repetitive.
Another idea - go to the local university and check out their social spot (i.e. the LSU Union) as well as the university's paper. Usually the Union (or whatever it's called there) will have bulletin boards with "Roommate wanted" fliers on it... and the school paper will have "Roommate wanted" sections as well. If it doesn't, call the paper and ask them what they'd recommend... since they've got their finger in all things to do with campus they could definitely give you a more personalized and useful answer then the generalizations thrown out on a board where nobody knows your town.
