"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What are your favorite guitar solos?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I like the ones that get to the point, and don't overstay their welcome. A few that come to mind are:

Roger MCGuinn (Byrds): "Eight Miles High," and especially "Thoughts and Words" (most frighteningly intense backwards guitar solo I've ever heard)
Dave Davies (Kinks): "I Need You," "Til The End of the Day"
Pete Townshend (Who): "Our Love Was," "Young Man Blues" (London Coliseum, 1969 version on The Kids Are Alright film)
Dave Gregory (XTC): "Ball and Chain" (actually an ensemble w/Andy Partridge, most likely).
Roy Wood (Move): "The Last Thing On My Mind" (brilliant overbubbed ensemble)
Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention): "Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman"
Robert Fripp (w/ Bowie): "Heroes" (w/King Crimson): "Starless" (both nothing in terms of notes, but devastating in terms of musical sense) (w/King Crimson):"Epitaph"
Martin Barre (Jethro Tull): "Aqualung," "With You There To Help Me".

And yeah, Hendrix and Clapton (early on) knew how to jam without too often falling into drawn-out ass-wanking.
 

"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.
