"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.

Have you heard this before?

I have. About four or five times in the last year from different women I was engaged in sexual liaisons with that mostly last about 1-2 months typically. Then I get bored and go searching for something that goes beyond the infatuation stage. Something that goes beyond the point where they start expecting me to service their needs, be their boyfriend, get in line and be a dog with my tail between my legs because they think they give great blows and are the fairest sex queens of them all.

I'm so tired of that sh*t.

So now I just started seeing this new woman, 10 years younger, and she hasn't made one noise about how amazing and rare our connection is. She has made noises that she loves to fvck, and I've made every effort to do everything -but- so far. And when she asked "do you do that with all your women," I replied, "no, only the ones I really like."

And when/if she says how rare and special our connection is, I'm going to slit my throat.
 

"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.

what i used to get all the time was "you aren't like other guys i've dated" or the "i have to be honest i've never really been attracted to black guys but I think you are just so damn hot"

generally one of the two. sometimes both.

Seriously. Who has seen "Harold & Maude." Now that was something different! Nothing ordinary. Extraordinary. That's the goal for 2012, damn it.
