"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.

Great post, finally read something new here. Hamsters running best in silence, orbit testing, and reaching out. Three concepts I've never heard of before. Will definitely familiarize myself with those theories, especially orbit testing, which seems to happen all the time. Thanks for the post.

EDIT:

Sh*t, could I have some links, if I google "orbit testing" I get a bunch of f*cking satellite web sites LOL
The word "Orbit" is very often used in the german Pick Up Scene, didnt know thats unfamiliar in the english speaking community :)
 

"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.

yes it's quite familiar, I guess I thought the concept of "orbit testing" had some extended theory and explanation behind it ??

Links?

if you can't tolerate it why is it taking space up in your mind.

if I can't tolerate squash peas I don't even have it in my life, or think about it, or talk about how I can't have it. You know?
it's (was) taking space up in my mind because, as human beings, we all like to be sure about our choices asking for advice sometimes. That is the purpose of this forum by the way. If you had read the title of the thread, you would have understood it. You know?

I know the exact feeling, joker79, and it does stay on our minds a bit even if we don't care or tolerate it. So I like what Mauser96 and pyros wrote, and your gut is right. What does it for me is this: if you know your value and the direction of your moral compass (not an afc, not a jerk, but a good dude with a heart and strength), you're the s**t- not her.

Besides, we have better things to do. :cool:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.
