"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.

ok so heres the deal.....hb9 I went to high school with. Always very much wanted to **** her. I haven't actually seen her in years, but about 9 months ago I was very drunk and sent her a 3 paragraph message on facebook EXPLICITLY and in great detail stating the things I wanted to do to her. I realllllly don't know what I was thinking but whatever, I wasn't too worried about it. She gave me some awkward response and I gave her some awkward apology and that was that. It certainly reeked of desperation, which is where I was at at the time. So why am I concerned? Well I'm pretty sure I'm going to be running into her somewhere in a few weeks and obviously I'm going to feel like a complete LOSER around her now because of this. And not only do I want to avoid humiliation, but I would still love to game her! I'm just very curious to hear how some of you DJs would handle this
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"Read any drunk messages lately?"

Then just go into the "How are you doing" routine. Don't apologize, just say the line and move to chit chat as if you couldn't care less about it.

It will dispose of the elephant in the room immediately and show that you are aware but unaffected.

ahhh I like it. You know I used to have some moderate DJ skills but I went through some things in my life which destroyed my confidence and my sense of self. This is how I probably would have handled this back in the day

You sure as fück don't bring it up for starters. You get amnesia. It never happened. In the unlikely event she brings it up, you come in with "pffft, that? That was a crazy night, the doctor said I am much better now!"

You diffuse it and make it into a joke and continue to talk to her. Smoothly. Ultra smoothly. You now have no room for error. Next time, keep your head and your wang in check.

Never give them written proof. I hope for your sake she didn't forward that letter to all her friends as a gag.

Vlad has a good point... I should have said that you should only bring it up and joke about it if you do see that the elephant is indeed in the room. Otherwise forget about it as if it never happened. Just don't go up to her and start apologizing about it.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If I EVER lost control of my mind or body enough to get drunk, I'd suicide. WTF is in people's heads, anyway. Do you hate yourself THAT much? Are you not aware of the risks that you are running? Someone could EASILY kill you and get away with it, while you are drunk. Much less sodomize or beat the crap out of you. Your judgement is GONE, so you don't CARE if you drive while endangering others, etc.

When I was a lad of 18, that was the legal drinking age. For two years I would hit the bars, get drunk, the usual stuff kids do.

After 19, it was out of my system and I went about the business of life. I couldn't do it anymore. Loss of self-control is indeed risky and can open up a world of sorrow, which you won't even know about till you sober up.

Just act like it never happened, and try gaming her. Or if you want to just get it out of the way and dismiss it use Atom Smasher's suggestion.

thanks guys. and please don't judge. If you haven't been there, you'll never know. I've now been clean from drugs and alcohol for 4 months
 

"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.
