"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've been doing online dating for a while now and it's been really great for practicing going on dates. I'll go on multiple dates on weeks when I'm feeling it and I constantly have numbers to call. It's like a business I'm running, always following up on leads. Well I've noticed now I'm not so excited about going on dates anymore. I won't go out with just any attractive women any more. I kinda screen them like chicks do. I noticed this today when I wasn't feeling 100% well so without worrying about it I call up the chick I was gonna meet today and cancel. I wasn't planning on meeting her, but then I realized upon talking to her that she kinda took it as a DJ would. A couple things stood out:

- she was slightly disappointed, which was good because it showed she had some interest.
- it didn't bother her too much and she didn't try to convince me to make it anyways. She just said we'll try again and passed the buck to me to call her again.

I liked how she handled it. She was relatively indifferent, but not so indifferent that she didn't seem interested. I think this is how a DJ should handle women.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

how are you so successful with online dating? are you in a large market (like NYC)? I average maybe a 20-25% response rate and maybe like 10% actually lead to something (phone number, meet or both).

I'm in southern Cali...it's just a numbers game. 10% phone numbers sounds about right...just send out more e-mails.

running out of decent looking women to contact in my area. If I really wanted to, I could go for NYC girls, but that's a little bit of a pain in the ass for me to get to.

"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.
