"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.

Should you tell a girl to text you when she gets home after a date?

like if you went on a date with some girl or if she came over to your house and then leaves, should you tell her to text you to let you know she got home okay or just not worry about it?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

lol cool, ive done this 2ce in the past and then felt like it was a mistake. now i realize it was definitely a mistake
 

"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.

IME, this is a pretty normal thing to do when out, although its usually the lady asking me to let them know I'm home safe.

However, general drunken violence & harrassment of women is a real & common problem in this part of the world & my city is about the worst in the country for it.

Even when out with friends, it is quite normal to arrange to text each other and if anyone forgets, there is usually a bit of a panic until someone can confirm they got home ok.

from my experience , girls in person are polar opposites from the girl they are when they text or are on myspace/facebook .etc . i knew a girl once that acted like she loved me when we talked on aim , then in rl shed kick me and call me a loser and crap . made out with her, but still it was annoying (and at the time confusing) avoid typing at all costs
 

"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.

yea i'd have to say caring about a girl is a very AFC thing to do somehow.. ?? i never got any positive reaction from finding out if she's safe from driving home unless you can be humorous about it. i would be very careful about telling her to call you, if she asks and gives you a choice just say you'lll call her. and then call her. "i'll talk to you later" is great because it could be either way.

For a simple date, NO! After having sex, maybe, if very late. After she leaves YOUR house and has to drive very late, yes, ok to do.

Can't believe people actually get caught up over $hit like this, and put so much emphazis on the act rather than on the motive behind it. The fact that you do signals you are confused and not sure of yourself to do what you feel is the right thing, without worrying about wether you did the right thing.

If you two just had sex and it is time to drive home, YES, it is ok, and probably a good thing to tell her to call you. If she's leaving your house after some hot sex, and she must drive late at night/morning, then showing a little concern won't hurt you, yet it might show your caring side, in a good way.

Caring a little won't hurt you, unless you already have enough excuses for her to consider you an afc. He who has his $hit together need not worry about how he will come across when doing this. If she is having sex with you because she is already very much into you is very different than doing it because you are afraid she won't want to continue sleeping with you. If I care and mean it, I say it, as she's already into me to begin with.

It all depends on the place you are coming from. If you are using as yet another form of approval seeking and kissing up to, then, NO, don't do it. You will only come across as needy and clingy.

If you need to ask, or you think you definitely shouldn't do it, then you shouldn't be doing it. It means you are clueless, or not confortable in your own skin to not worry about how it comes across, or have some many afc tendencies that you feel the need to see yoursel emasculated by it.
