"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.

My name is isaiah... i have a question but first let me give you a lil bit of a
background of my situation that i am in... Ya see... I work every weekend (sat, and sun). On my way to work, i stop at a gas station to get a much needed 5hr energy... and every saturday there is this lady behind the counter who apparently is just about ready to begin her shift just as i enter. She's not the prettiest flower in the pot, but lemme tell you.. When i look at her... I just feel enlightened. I feel at ease. She has a smile that can brighten up the whooole damn store you know what i mean?? She's fairly new, and ive only seen her there for the past 3 weekends or so... today is the FIRST time i've even said a word to her. Your gonna laugh when i tell you what i said..
> Me: "i need a 5hr energy"
> Her: Well, which one would you like?
> Me: which would you prefer?
> Her: (smiling) i dunno, i dont drink those. We have grape, orange, citrus.. etc..
> Me: (smiling) you look like you enjoy workin here
> HEr: Im happy all the time.
> Me: well let me have a grape..
> Her: okay here you go.
> Me: If i dont like this one, im gonna come back (jokingly)
> Her: ya. let me kno.
> then i walk out.......... That was this morning... SHE'S BEEN ON MY MIND ALL DAY.... now that i look back at the situation, she was SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR the whole. entire.. time! i feel so stupid... I cant get her outta my head.. CAN YOU HELP ME?
> how can i make this gas station clerk, my new friend or girlfriend?
 

"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.

First thing you should do is stop getting all gay about her smile and how "enlightening" she is. She's just a girl. Working at a f**king gas station.

The bigger you build her up, the harder it is to ask her out.

Secondly, you just need to ask her out. Talk about what you do for fun. You say "How was your weekend? I just went to blah blah with my friends. It was fun. You should come with me sometime. You'd like it."
