Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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's with you people and your judgemental attitudes? what's # of posts have to do with it? there'll always be more questions bro. If anyone ever says they 'know it all' they're fooling. I know it may seem like an AFC question I'm actually not afraid to admit when I am confused. I help in areas that I know and expect help in areas where I need help.Cod3r said:899 posts and ur asking this ?? I don't have the energy...

You know you're right, I was judgemental and undeservingly harsh and I apologize for my lack of understanding of your confusion. I'm a bad person.What's with you people and your judgemental attitudes? what's # of posts have to do with it? there'll always be more questions bro.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Being the other person in that "People" I can say, that was a bit of a harsh response. Maybe these things just make more sense to me because of my psychology backround. I know that many people don't have that advantage though. That's pretty much as apologetic as I can get.DJ_in_making said:What's with you people and your judgemental attitudes? what's # of posts have to do with it? there'll always be more questions bro.

Isn't that what this is about?????
