"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 way I feel about it sometimes

I know I'm an intelligent, happening and handsome guy. Lately (and especially since I've been going to the gym) I compare myself to the average guys around me. Most of them are overweight and out of shape, they seem comfortable with it. I work out, I'm in good physical shape and getting stronger and leaner all the time and I know I look good. I can approach women with success (I'm rarely shot down when I approach end I don't let the rejections beat me down) which is good. But there are times that I look at a woman that I could cold approach but I don't do anything. Or sometimes when a woman is sending me signals of interest I don't make a move. We can't have every woman anyhow so we can't always approach. But sometimes I feel like it should be her to approach me. I know it's rare that a woman makes the first move but there are times that I just don't feel like approaching but want the woman to do it. Even today there was a HB9 (and yes she is because I overheard a female photographer approach the hottie and tell the HB that she wanted her to "model" for a promotional) who made several walk-bys before finally sitting down at a nearby terminal in the campus library today. Then she started glancing at me every few moments, playing with her necklace, twirling her hair, stroking the left side of her neck, etc. I just played it cool and did my assignment. Finally, though, I asked for her pen to write something down. She shyly gave it to me. When I gave the pen back to the HB, she shyly took it back without looking at me. Then she continued with her earlier behavior. After a while I left.

Now a lot of you guys would call me stupid for doing this. But hey, I am the prize so let her do some work. She could have said: "Hi, my name is [insert name]..." That would have been nice. This isn't the first time I've done this and it won't be the last, other women have done similar things around me. The thing is that after reading the Book of Pook and the threads on this site I know that yes, I'm a desirable guy, yes, I'm the prize, and that I must make the woman qualify herself to me. So that means **I** don't always have to approach, sometimes the woman should approach me first. Afterall, I'm worth it. :up:
 

"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.

Forget where it says in the Bible, but it does say some where that women will never intiate. That it's a guy's job to intiate things. I know, It sucks. I normally try not to give out advice, but I thought of the same thing. From my experinces, even if the girl REALLY likes you, still will NOT approach you. Remember this girl told me how she used to like me and wated to hook up. Said she was just waiting for me to make a move. I'm just like wtf? Got a mini speech on how it's the guy's responsibility...blah, blah,blah, more s***. That's such BS. See all these hot girls with ugly dudes, and here you are a prize above them, they could be interested to death, but still will not approach. Sorry about that little rant. This just annoys me to no end. Unfortunely it will not be changing anytime soon, so best get use to it. Though I'm with you on the subject. It's really frustrating.:mad:

I hear ya. But sometimes I get tired of approaching. Today it was fun to watch her reactions because I did want to say something to her. Asking for her pen was to give her something since it was obvious she wanted me to talk to her. And to be honest we were sitting there a long time (almost 80 minutes) and I knew she was watching me but she wouldn't approach. It's the 21st century, the women should do more to show their desire for men. Well, she did get a little something from it. I did talk to her afterall.

Might be 21st century, but somethings never change. Though you gave her a great opportunity, just goes to show that they don't take the initiative. I have to stop know before this becomes another rant. Lol.
