"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.

There are different types of people, and I'm interested to see if there are any correlation with success with women.
Choose the type you most closely resemble:

Type 1: Is a DJ. Generally outgoing and likes to get things done quickly
Type 2: Is a DJ. Generally quiet and likes to get things done quickly
Type 3: Is a DJ. Generally outgoing, easy going and patient
Type 4: Is a DJ. Generally quiet, easy going and patient
Type 5: Is not a DJ. Generally outgoing and likes to things done quickly
Type 6: Is not a DJ. Generally quiet and likes to get things done quickly
Type 7: Is not a DJ. Generally outgoing, easy going and patient
Type 8: Is not a DJ. Generally quiet, easy going and patient
 

"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.

I don't know if I'm ANY of these things.


I'm going through a transitional period here, as a lot of us are, so these may change quickly.

Generally outgoing is an understatement.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Usually Type 1, but has all the other tendencies. Very delibreate if I don't want to be hurried on a task.

Type 6. I'm far from a DJ but doing whatever I can to reach that goal. My ideal self would be type 1 but I've gotta work on my social skills a little more.

Wanted to see if these traits had trends on being a DJ or not. There's not really enough votes yet to say what the results are.
 

"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.

I don't know if it's up to myself to decide if I'm a DJ, and these seem a little too specific, but the closest would be either 3 or 7. I didn't vote though.
