"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.

Was I an ass for doing this?

Today this girl who usually eats at my table, comes up to me and ask if her and a few of her friends could sit at my table. Instead of just saying "yes", I played around a little and said "I don't know, you guys kind of bore me" smiling so that she knew I was joking. Unfortunately I think the chick actually took it seriously since I heard her saying to her friend "Oh my god! [Friendsname], he said that we bored him" or something like that. End result the chicks didn't come back, no big deal. But was I an ass for saying this to her? I meant it in a joking way, but I don't know whether the girl took it personally or not.
 

"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.

Good stuff!! just have a laugh over it and don't sweat it. who cares what they thought or if she took it seriously. ........now if most people seem to take your jokes seriously then you might have a problem with the way you deliver them. But it sounds like you did things right. I wouldn't worry about it. :up:

"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.

Sounds like you were trying way too hard to neg hit..

You can neg hit.. yes. But just think about it, if what they are askin involves them getting around you.. or some physical contact. Just say yes.. it shows interest. Save the neg hitting for after they sit down.

Don't sweat it though. I have done worse.

I made a girl think I was a complete and utter pervert from trying too hard.

You just have to say **** them and move on.. or just lay low for awhile.

Eh. You bore me?

"I don't know if you're quite cool enough to sit here" sounds better, more playful.


An ass? No.
Possibly wrong word? Yeah.
Worry about it? Not at all.
