HA HA HA HA!!! Dream on
"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.
Subway pickups?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I make it a point to approach women wherever i am, and that includes trains and buses. I've pulled off some really great approaches there because there's always a way you can start up a conversation by mentioning something about the surroundings, or asking how far a stop is, etc.
This is especially easy if you're standing next to a group of girls, or girls/guys. This way you can listen in for a bit and once you know what you need, just jump in with some C&F. If done right, they won't mind you barging in and will want to get to know you!
One thing to watch out though is stops and the crowds they bring. Keep in mind that your target may have to get off at any time, or that you can get easily separated by crowds of people that enter at stops. I've had a few really promising pickups fvcked up that way! One way to avoid this is to find out how far she's got to go early on, and to keep your eyes open for people who may separate you.

whenever i'm on the subway/bus/whatever transit, you can tell everyone is SO bored and waiting for some kind of stimuli to entertain them
so what i'll usually do is try to at least get close to an HB or a group of girls. if it's one of those bus rides where it's just quiet and you can hear a pin drop, i'll EC her and say something along the lines of "dont you hate how boring these subway/bus rides are?" this usually works best for me after we've made a few of those awkward eye contact glances.
doesnt work all the time, some ppl will just actually be tired or whatever. but still, it's a good set up for a convo to introduce yourself and exchange names in the least.

Wow, i was about to post a similar post. How do you increase approach success with subway regulars? There's a cute chick that gets on at the same stop as I when I commute to work. Yesterday I wanted to sit next to her on the subway but some old fart beat me to it. Btw, I don't care if I look desperate, subway is the most boring part of my day. I have ECed her and smiled at her previously at the T stop.

I get a lot of IOIs on the subway, everyday, but it's hard to guage, as women are wary enough in the city, much less the subway.
I think it's a classic case of really making sure there is interest there, I have struck up conversations with women who obviously couldn't keep their eyes off of me, but never number closed. I recall a couple of times women opening me up on the subway, so it can be done I'm sure, but it's not a daily occurance or anything.
"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.
