"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.

I was watching David D's advanced series today and he talks about a sly smile. How do you do a sligh smile? Does anyone have any good pictures or references to pictures?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Just be natural about it. If you try to mechanically do one, you will look really awkward. I'm sure you've given your guy friends a sly smile when you made a wisecrack about them. "Hey Steve you big queen!" you might yell. What kind of expression would you have on your face after a comment like that?

The key is to actually be sly. The other day a girl I was having dinner with wanted to put some of her left over pizzas in my pizza box. I was giving her a hard time and saying no. She said, "let me put in your box." I said, "no, let me put in YOUR box!"

Of course, I said it completely jokingly so naturally my facial expression naturally turned to a sly a grin. She laughed and hit me on the shoulder.

Two types work for me:

The first is when I pretend like I'm trying not to smile, but had maybe had just heard a really funny joke.

The second is when I pretend that I'm being sneaky. Trust me, if you imagine yourself just creeping around in someones house with a large cartoon-esque bag of loot and a burglar mask it will produce a sly smile. You really have to get in to it though.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
