"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.

im starting to have this problem where, my phone has too many phone numbers on it, and if i let a girl enter her phone number on it, shes going to see about 100000 other girls names on there... which cant be good.

id rather just find a way to keep phone numbers that i may eventually use for a booty call or something, just, not on my phone. what do you guys do/suggest?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Don't let her touch your phone. Just have her tell you her number and enter it in herself.

Besides, if there's a lot of womens' phone numbers there, might that not increase your worth in their eyes? It means you must be interesting if you have phone numbers to many women.

Be a man and deal with it. Why the hell would you hide the fact that you are popular with women? If you meet a woman that makes a comment about the telephone numbers in your phone just tell her "Don't tell me that you're one of those insecure women that feels that she has to compete with every other woman in the world!"

She will either say no and you continue entering her number or she says yes (yeah right :rolleyes: ). Would you even want to deal with a woman that admits to that anyway?

And by the way, with all those numbers in your phone, how many to you actually call or are you a number hound just collecting them so that you can have a problem like this? If you haven't talked to a women in say a month, why carry her number around with you?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Delete all of the numbers you haven't called (or who haven't called you) in the past week. Repeat weekly.

Weekly? You can't be serious. I'm rotating through only 6 or 8 different women that I go out with semi regularly (more than once a month). There's no way in hell that I would want to talk to all of them every week. Even f it were only two or three, talking to them every week would be very AFC.

Shag, keep the numbers for a month. You don't have to see them every month but you should have had some type of contact with them within that time. It could be a date, a returned phone call from her or a email she has replied to.

It's difficult to keep a woman's interest level high if you haven't had any contact with her in over a month. Let's face it, if you haven't tried to contact her in that time frame, are you even interested in her?
