"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.

So I've been slowly, casually making progress on the path to becoming a DJ (well, really just a better person), but lately something's happened. All the girls have caught on, they've been showing HUGE signs of interest and I see them. The problem is that I've been hit by these signs all in a few days and I'm overwhelmed. The AFC voice is coming back, it's remembering how cute it is when she does a certain thing, or how beautiful, etc etc etc...

I've got to kill this voice, because it's getting stronger. I've acted like a huge AFC around all these chicks lately, and I've been thinking about them too much. What the hell can I do? Or if you don't have some advice, harsh words like "shut up and be a MAN!" would probably help right now.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Gee, let me guess... It was a linked photo of Brad Pitt or something? Ha ha ha. That is so funny. You see, what you did was take a picture of a well known celebrity, and led us to believe that it was you. Thus misdirecting us into momemtarily believing that an airbrushed photo of Mr. Pitt could somehow actually belong to a member of sosauve! Genius. Truely genius. You are soooooooooo funny! You really are. Ha ha ha. Are you a writer for 'Family Guy' or something. Chris Rock has nothing on you. Move over Jerry Seinfeld, Glycerine2 is taking the world by storm!!! :rolleyes:

Stop trying to act smart....
 

"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.
