"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.

This message should really go out to the ladies, but if you're on a "date" with a guy, but if a guy mentions how at the end of said "date" that he enjoyed "the date" and she asks, "What made you think this was a date?" or "You thought this was a date?"

There's nothing more grating than hearing that when you're a man.

As a woman, she should just smile, don't correct the man, and say, "Yes, I had a nice time." I launched her right after that pretty much, as I could tell the argument was getting heated.

I said, "Well, it looks like we are not on the same page, so I wish you luck."

This made me think back to a dating profile of a woman, lecturing men on the rules of online dating interaction. I had passed on it when she said said, "Men, don't ever call it a date, it's a MEET." She had a list of tons of what "us men" shouldn't do when interacting with a woman online, other than the obvious sexual innuendos, there that particular one made me want to tell it to shove her little list up her ass.

So ladies, if you want to F-up a good thing, get into an argument with a guy on whether it's a date or not while ON a date.

I think it's a feminist agenda thing, too. Because she prided herself on having stayed an unattached single mother for almost a decade...going back to school in her 40s.
 

"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.
