"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.

as i could go on forever about this, i'll try and make it as brief as possible...


if anyone had told me even 3 months ago that i'd have more girls interested in me than you could shake a stick at, ida called you crazy. i've had a few girlfriends in my 22 years, and a few flings and whatnot, but it was never consistent.

then i came here and began applying simply the basics - going to the gym, eating well, actively pursuing my hobbies, enjoying my *job* as a student, and generally having a good time wherever.

i felt better about myself every day, and was able to walk around with my chest out and chin up.

ill tell ya what, once you notice the change in yourself, everyone else does too.

ive gotten more numbers, gone on more dates and had a better time in the past month or so than in years.

before i go, theres a reason behind me posting this at just after 8 am, eastern standard time...

last night, i had one girl call me because she was "in the neighborhood, and wanted to come by". We hung out at my place for a bit, and shot pool at the party going on inside my apt. while she was in the barthroom, the girl im going out with tonite called me about our date to her graduate school dinner. girl from the party left after things began to get loud and party-like in my apt, which was fine by me.

so after an hour of wiping the floor with the competition on our pool table, my incredibly hot neighbor, that id lusted after since i was a freshman called me (we started hangin' out / playing phone tag a month ago). long story short, the girl is a blonde bombshell who normally dates athletes and guys who look like they belong in magazines.

im just getting home from her apartment, and damned if im not tired. :D


i can say i did this in true DJ fashion - working on myself, and exuding confidence first and foremost. simple as that.

if i can do it, anyone can.
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
It's a lot easier to act like the great prince when you FEEL like the great prince. ;)

Congrats, man. Good to see it's working out for you. Don't look at it as "you got what you want" and start letting up...make sure you keep the same kind of passion for life. :)

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Good job! It's like a snowball rolling downhill. You get larger and gain momentum as you get further down the trail. In a nutshell, it just keeps getting better and better!!!
