"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.

What indirect openers do you guys tend to roll with in pubs and bars and stuff?

Last night I experimented with, ''Hey, how's your night going?'', ''Cheers!" glass clink, ''Hey. I'm Jack'' and ''Hi, Who are you?''.

Mainly more or less ignored each time lol (UK - We don't tend to engage strangers!), but with a few sets where the girl didn't seem confused as to why a stranger was talking to her lol

I think situational openers are said to be the best, but most of the time, nothing of interest stands out, mind goes blank, and I revert too a simple ''hi!'' kind of thing, which, actually seems to be one of my lowest percentage openers! (i.e - I get the confused look and then maybe a backturn lol). Tend to do better when something 'funny' springs to my mind for the opener

But yeah, do you have any favourite indirect openers for night game?
 

"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.

indirect? just talk with people like you talk normally with others? see something in the area and ask what she thinks about it or anyone close by?

bars are kinda annoying to do anything really, most will go with friends and tend to not permit outside intrusions, and clubs too loud to even talk so not much point
