"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.

Uh oh. I'm in a rut. Boring?? Need help.

So I figured out what's been getting me down. I'm not depressed, I'm bored which is making me depressed. I've been focusing alot on school and work. I haven't been partying at all... or general fun.

Soo... how to have fun. What is fun?

So far I'm making a list of stupid & fun things to do:
- Flaming doggie bag + doorbell with some friends. Haven't done it. Got to.
- Paying for a ridiculously large purchase in pennies and nickles. So far I have ~$40.
- Get slapped by at least one chick (preferably two in the same sitting) for being a pig.


Help me build this list!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Please tell me you are kidding, because if you are not, you are acting like a 5 year old. How about volunteering? Learning a new language? Joining a club? Taking in some sports? Reading books? Going to museums? Exercising? Making new friends?

What girl is going to be charmed by you paying for some item in pennies? How does that excite her? How does that teach her something new? How does that make her knees weak?

Ff you feel you're boring try to do things that will create good stories to tell to people, or you could just make them up I guess.
 

"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.

I assure you I do not act like a child. In fact I am far too 'mature'.

Volunteering sounds great. Haven't done that in awhile.

LOL. That's not what I meant.
I could care less if I charm the cashier. I just want to be a d!ck because its funny.


Thanks for your input. Anything else? I like where you were going with the volunteer idea.

Can't do that. I try not to lie. I have no problem omitting information and being vague... :)

go skydiving - nope. not yet. expensive too.
go hiking - good idea.
go people watching - can't see how that's interesting but i'll give it a shot
read a book - i've done enough reading.
study a new language - great idea. maybe i can find a latino girl to teach me spanish.
meet new people - yup. working on that.
Thanks dude. Great list.
