"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 bed, your girl.
Smiling is all part of that body language and subcommunication stuff, but what exactly could a girl smiling at you mean?

Whats going on in their head when they smile at you? Like, today 2 girls that I've never spoken to before smiled at me, one when I took a paper from her and the other when i gave a paper to her...

I realized that a smile is non-verbal, so it counts as an action, not spoken word.

Also the girl seemed to look down when she smiled. Is this trying to say something like, you're hot but I want you to talk to me before I talk to you?
Or it could just be like saying hi, which happened with a differen't girl today, but I actually know her so there isn't attraction.

Bottom line question - What is a girl thinking and feeling when she smiles?
 

"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.

A smile means anything from I want to have massive amounts of sex with you to "wow that guy has a funny face". At a guess when smiling at you when giving/taking papers it is something along the lines of "here you go" or "thanks". You could probably have opened with either of them, but aside from that it means nothing. Stop reading so much into it!

You're right haha.
How can you narrow it down to what the specific body language means though?

No idea! Maybe read a few books on body language? Personally I tend to not look too much into it, at least before she starts touching me etc.

Yeah I think it's more valuable to be able to know the subtler signs of when a girl is interested in you though.

Well.. hmm... the girl behind me who smiles a lot has kicked me lightly in the ass before multiple times haha.
That means nothing sadly :p
 

"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.

If she looks down, its a good sign, if she stares and smiles, you probably still have breakfast on your face.

Here's what I've learned about smiles. The duration of a smile is directly proportional to interest level:

- 0.1-0.5 seconds: courtesy
- 0.6-0.8 seconds: she wants to be friends
- 0.9-1.2 seconds: she wants you to kiss her on Tuesday
- 1.3-1.8 seconds: she wants to have oral sex
- 1.9-2.1 seconds: she wants to have vaginal sex
- 2.31 seconds and above: she wants anal sex

No, I didn't miss the time between 2.1 and 2.31 seconds. This is the grey zone. If you get a smile within this range, it could go either way, so please have a stop watch handy and be prepared to PM me.

In my next post, I will move on to the DEGREE of her smile and influence the angle of the corners of her mouth will have on the likelihood of an LTR. Stay tuned.

Ouch...someone more cynical than me!

In the end, a smile isnt a bad thing, but I personally dont think that it is something worth reading too much into.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Are you kidding me? A second is really fvckin fast.. it takes like a whole second just to smile haha.
It's interesting though how you point out the duration of the smile could mean different things... but it's probably inaccurate.

This excludes girls you are already friends with, right?
