"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.

Just wanted to say thanks guys. I'm 28, had a string of failed relationships. V good at the initial getting of the girl, but once I've slept with a girl a few times I seemed to go all feminine and needy. I just entered a relationship a month ago, and two weeks in just as I got weak, I started reading this and twice I've completely regained the power. Not saying I'll keep it up for sure, but I really like her and hopefully the confidence and not being ahamed to dominate will become natural.

I'm over 25 and watch this board most, but if this is in the wrong place apologies. And thanks!
 

"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.

Like anything else, practice practice practice. The most important part is you've realized where your making your mistakes. I've got alot of issues, however the key to my success is managing those issues.

Don't be afraid to post scenarios and ask for advice. You might get dumped on alot, but the key is to take everything with a grain of salt as this is an internet forum. I find it helpful in the sense that it gets me thinking about myself, moreso than taking advice literally.

ps add your age to your profile so your post doesn't get moved.

Thanks MacAvoy - age included, and will post up scenarios when I get stuck. The hard part at the moment, is it's gone kinda long-distance for a couple of weeks, and I'm not sure how to keep up interest level without going over the top and looking needy. She's really keen at the moment, and she was v awkward to sleep with first (not promiscuous from what I can tell), and it's the trade off from doing enough to keep her interested, and talking on the phone until the small hours...

Well at least its on LD for a short term, it may not be that bad and may be a good thing. Alot of guys say talking on the phone is a bad thing and I generally concur. However I find it useful early on in a relationship, however you have to keep it from going beyond the 30-40 minute mark. (alot of guys will disagree with this but I think if your cultivating a relationship, it will work) If you have other desires, then don't

Since she's out of town, let her call you but if she does and your free at the time, talk to her and keep her interested. I'd say for every 3 times she calls you, I'd call her once, you do have to reciprocate to some degree.

Good luck and happy sarging. Also going back and reading the bible every so often always helps even if you've read it 5 times already.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
