"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.

Hey guys,

Nice community you got going here, I'm glad I joined!

My question is that how do you diffrentiate if the girl you're with is the one for you (i mean like forever) or if youre just being A frickin FC??

She's pretty as hell, sexy, incredibly smart, a virgin, she loves me a lot and I'm so confused!!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Forget all that crap you just told us. It's obvious you are interested in this girl. If you are interested in her, go on a date with her, give her a good night kiss, and see where it goes from there. Don't give her names like "the one" or blame destiny for whatever happens. Be in control of your own fate. She is not superior to you. Once you start believing that she is "the one" you start to think about how terrible it would be to lose her and then you start acting like a AFC. Screw the contemplating.

Meet a girl -> Interested in a girl -> Date the girl.

Simple.

If she stays and you still like her, she's the one for you. If she doesn't stay, she isn't the one for you. If you lose interest later in the relationship, she isn't the one for you. The only one for you is the one where you both maintain interest in eachother. The only way to find that out is by dating her. Forget soul searching, it never works out.

That was harsh, but thanks a LOT for snapping me back into my reality!!

THANKS!
 

"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.
