"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.

Life and death are generally considered the two basic directions of living. That is dead wrong. Every religion has some type of after life, something to atone for after you live. If you look at life as evergoing, even in limbo, than there never truly is a final death.

Fear and happiness are the only two true basics.
 

"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.

Happiness is motivation
Fear is motivation

They are the underlying factors of EVERYTHING you do.

Whether it be happiness that you are seeking, or fear that you avoid that motivates you, all of life centers around these two concepts.

They are the reason humans have a hard time multitasking, because they pathways in the mind are still focused on our reptilian minds.

Fear and happiness are not opposing ideas, they are a generic mixture of everything we do in life.

From eye contact, to body language, to friendships, from petting our dog, to diving into a swimming pool.

Fear is experienced nearly every time we do something new, or when the idea of something new comes into the air. Some people thrive off of the feeling of fear.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Fear of life is a huge problem for people.
Happiness in life can also be a large problem.

Why?

I am a very brave person, I am courageous, and courageous does not mean the lack or overcoming of fear. Courage is the control of fear, using fear for the best. Overcoming fear comes to you in many ways, a new experience, fun, you can get thousands of feelings from overcoming your fears.

Fear of life though, means the fear of losing your life. Fear of taking a step forward, and being pushed two steps back. Many people won't step outside of their comfort zones because they consider life to be too valuable to take a chance that may destroy it.

I grow up in a town, where there are underlying fears, and underlying happiness. Nobody will speak about it professionally. Nobody will speak about it in private. Most of the time, it is only the actual action that makes people consider even speaking about it.

What is with fear?
What is it that we enjoy?

Do you know why being happy with your life is wrong? If slitting your wrists makes you feel good than who's to say you are wrong? If playing head games and manipulating people makes you happy, than what is wrong? If stealing for a living creates happiness is it good? Is there really truth to they saying "whatever makes you happy"?
