"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.

main people: me, my friend JW, and HB#1 and HB#2.

During the past couple days, some interesting events occurred (some of which are recounted in my posts asking for advice). But basically, at one point, HB#2 asked me if JW was interested in HB#1 and then at another time HB#1 asked JW if I was interested in HB#2.

I know that when girls ask you about your relationship status, it usu. is an IOI. Would I be right to take these events as IOIs?
 

"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.

What do you care, really? Don't even really think about it because you have other priorities that come first, you :up:.

all it means is that they were talking, and they had a girl fantasy and said something like, "wouldn't it be cute if we went out with JW and skd together?"

They were thinking about a double date type setup.

Yeah... sounds like typical highschool chicks to me....
In any case, they each have to at least be entertaining the idea of hooking up with you guys, so give it a shot.

Thanks for the thoughts guys

I think that if they have been entertaining fantasies, then I should have a pretty good shot.
 

"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.
