"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.

The Most Painful Scene in the Dating Game

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Atleast he had the guts to go for the kiss... that says something, I guess. Lots on this board would get scared to make the move in the first place.

LOL

the expressions are very entertaining.

That just made this post even funnier....so true.

Yet that is not a bad thing... we are all on different levels and are all here to improve our game - whatever that may be.

As I have said in other posts though, if you are AFC, please dont pretend that you are not; bringing yourself undone with missinformed posts giving advice.

That is my pet-peeve on this site, apart from that - all AFC's welcome and much love.
:D
 

"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.

He looks like a sissy, he acted like a sissy. And he doesn't look like her type.

Yikes, the early 90s big hair thang sucks!

Easy. Forget about the girl and move on to other girls.


Jake did have some balls. But something tells me that he made his move way too late. You should make your interest known from the get-go.

He also made the mistake of listening to her problems, comforting her and letting himself be perceived as a nice guy/friend material. His timing was also dreadful. Never hit on a woman when she's in a low state - in fact, get out of sight altogether!

It sounds like this girl is dating Dylan (http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Loge/7725/dylan.html), so this kid has no chance!!!

Also Jake should have picked up on the signals, or lack thereof, beforehand. His compliment also sucks. Telling her lots of people think she's great, he's just opened up the competition for himself.

And NEVER EVER take the advice of a prepubescent alcoholic
(http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Loge/7725/matt.html) :)

But kudos on the eye contact, kino and having the balls to go for it. And if he's making his mistakes so early in life, I bet he'll be a top DJ when he's older.

Great find by the way!

"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.

Okay, you guys realize that those photos are not of the actual event, right? There's not way a guy like jake would do that kind of thing if there was some guy ten paces off snapping pictures of the whole thing. This was acted out. It may have actually happened, but the pictures are of people imitating or acting out a storyline.
