"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.

Unfortunately the bible doesnt talk about the little things, but little things can make a difference too!

Some questions:
When do you begin holding hands with a girl?
when do you start putting your arm around her shoulders (for a long period of time, kinda like bf/gf)?
when to kiss during dates (often or occasionally) instead of end of dates?
when to take/walk her home?

I mean sure rush these and the girl might think you're just after sex or are desperate, take these slow and sometimes she'll think you're mr. safety or not interested in her sexually.

Im guessing there are no specific rules or # of dates to guarantee when to do this. But would you guys say do it when ti feels right? or are there really rules...

But anyway im asking cause on my last date she sighed occasionally. But during the date, a lot of kino, great EC, and chemistry going on. At the end of date she seemed a little insecure and asking me certain questions which revealed her high IL. She was that way cause i didnt ask for her #(didnt matter to me cause i could get it next weekend) and i was a little aloof. sighing must be an indication of something she wants?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Look for IOI's. Usually you can just hold a girl's hand or put an arm over her shoulder without and IOI's, but if you want to be safe, try after one IOI. But number- and kiss-closing are generally preceded by 3 IOI's. This is the generally accepted "rule", but it is VERY flexible. If you think it's appropriate, just DO it. Let her initiate some of the contact too. If you lead all the physicals, you'll start to seem desperate. Have the guts to take initiative and immediately seize an opportunity, but have the willpower to hold yourself back when appropriate.

I apologise if that was a bit vague, but IOI's are Indicators of Interest for some of you newcomers.

Examples:

-twirling her hair while she talks to you - self explanatory
-crossing and uncrossing her legs while she's talking to you - this is like a woman's way of saying "hey, look at my sexy legs!"
-exposing her neck - the neck is a very vulnerable and open area, if she is exposing this area to you VERY openly, take it as an IOI, one of the more iffy ones
-tilting her head and giving you puppy eyes - lots of girls do this unintentionally to look cute or curious
-asking you lots and lots of questions in a row - she wants to get to know you better
-squeezing your hand back when you hold and squeeze her hand - self explanatory
-touching - self explanatory
-staying in the conversation even through awkward lulls and silences - if a girl isn't interested in you, she'll find somebody else to talk to
-Sighing - can mean she is expecting you and waiting for you to make a move, but can also mean she's distracted
-Extended eye contact - more than 1-2 seconds can be awkward for acquaintances, but if she holds it, take it
-nervous compliments- account for tone and body language, she's shy and wants to talk to you.

Some of these are arguable subtle and all of them have their exceptions. Just a few ideas to get you guys started.

The other guy gave some pretty good advice, but i would leave the hand holding/ luvy dubby type of behavior if you really have feelings for any chick. It all depends what you want but as far for the females that i meet, i dont late them kiss me or show too many signs of affection because there is only one thing that am after and thats her pum pum or being f-buddies.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

thx for the list of IOI Damian, some of the ones you listed did happen on the date. But since it was just a first date i didnt expect things to move so quickly, which apparently is what she wants.

I guess i'll just have to be more responsive to her IOI the next time, dont want her to think im uninterested.

Also i dont know if it was my mistake or just her lack of dating experience, but on the kiss close...i put my hand on her cheek and turned her face to my direction and went in 90%, she said, "kiss?" than she pecked me on the corner of my lips. And i just accepted it...didnt want to push her out of comfort zone.

Should i continue with 90% next time or go full 100% if the moment is right?

There are no rules or road maps when it comes to this.

If you want to hold her hand, DO IT

If you want to kiss her, DO IT

If you want to walk her to the door, DO IT

Just don’t jump her bones or too much touchy feely on the first date unless she is really up on you and/or giving you the signs.

It’s Trial and Error process.

She’ll let you know if she doesn’t want you to do it.

Be a Man and take a little risk here and there

So you live and learn that’s what life is all about.

agreed things like this are only significant if you make them a big deal...or are in junior high.
 

"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.
