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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
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.
yep chicks always give me an 8 in looksbradd80 said:Depends on how good looking you are. If you're a top 5 percenter, and you naturally have girls hitting on you everywhere you go, then the direct approach is best. If you use ****y and funny, you may come across as an arrogant a**hole, especially if you're extremely good looking. However, a playful tease is always fun just make sure you don't overdo it.
Acting humble yet strong, calm yet charismatic, will bring you optimal results.
^This works for me.Fatal Jay said:yep chicks always give me an 8 in looks
I usually do the humble yet confident vibe to the women, always smiling and half flirtious

Being good looking helps but it isn't everything. You still have to do the right things. I'm blessed in that department and I'll say that if you're handsome and look confident/non hungry you will usually have the choice piece of meat. That is if the ratio is decent and there are actually girls to choose from.
I often get hit on and don't need to do much. But that's not always the case. I sometimes have to create opportunities and usually look for signals of interest from girls and then sort of create an moment for us to speak. Either direct approach or I'll go indirect by starting conversations with people around them first. From there I act indifferent to the outcome and just have fun. Let them do most of the talking.
Eventually if I want it to escalate I have to take the shot. If you do things right that's the easy part. They'll be waiting for you to make a move. If you're looking to date them later just get the number then get the F out of dodge. I'm not a big one night stand guy in fact I'm against doing that. That being said I have had several women invite me back to their place. The one night stand girls are usually very direct that they are DTF. If you have half a clue you won't be confused about it.
Yeah let's take the virgins advice! :crackup:Eternal_water said:Rip your shirt off and shout "first cvm first serve"

Many apologies for the dig, but I have a mean sense of humor.Eternal_water said:Your words wound me sir, wound me like a beast.

P.s. wounded beasts are rarely healed - putting them out of their misery is the only option.![]()
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
If you're looking for sex, do whatever. If you're looking for a relationship, just be you. If you're not being you, you're putting on an act, and it's hard to act through an entire relationship. Not to mention it's very draining to do that.TDH said:Should it be direct and straight forward or more laid back or ****y funny or what? All opinions welcome

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
