"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.

I notice there are a lot of attractive women in supermarkets in my area but am having difficulty thinking of ways to break the ice, much less get any farther in this environment.

I would like to hear guys who have had success in this or similar scenes.

Specifically, how did you get small talk going and from there the rest?

"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.

I've tried these approaches w/somewhat sucess...walk up to where they are looking at say hamburger helper and ask for some other receipes that may compliment it. Ask any question about cooking with whatever it is they are looking at. Do it with confidence and be matter-of-factly

Good one!

For example, if you pass a HB in the aisle, just say, "Wow. You're making my trip to the grocery store a little less boring today. What do you think about that?"

Now THAT is a line that will ge seeing some air play tonight while I'm shopping! Thanks ESPI!
 

"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.

I've tried that same method several times, and it's never worked. I open a lot of women in grocery stores, and I've found the best way to do it is to be
overtly flirtatious. Make your intentions known from the beginning. For example, if you pass a HB in the aisle, just say, "Wow. You're making my trip to the grocery store a little less boring today. What do you think about that?"
Yes, please do that. Please tell her the same thing that 80 other guys have told her that day. Good way to be unique, chief.
