"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.

For some reason, girls always seem to ask me this question. For example, last night i saw a HB7 that i knew, but none of my friends did. So, a little while passes and i decide to go over and talk to her. This is the first question she asks me after the hellos and everything. This has happened alot of times, with girls i know well and girls i dont.

I thought about it and came up with a few reasons why they keep asking this
  1. Their just feeding their addictions to social proof
  2. I always smell nice, maybe they think im on a date?
  3. Their just making passing conversation...

Any thoughts?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Well, let me put it this way: for what reason would you ask a girl who she's with?

Well, think of a ****y and funny reply to that - "why would you want to know, you want me to be your escort or something? "

That's off the top of my head. ****y and funny.

That is pretty much it. As soon as you start answering her questions seriously you lose all your mystery and mystique. Insert a ****y and funny comment that will lead to a funny conversation and take it from there.

"I am here with my mommy"

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

She wants to know if you are socially valuable. If you tell her who you are with, she will analyze and determine based on that.

That is the only reason.

I like DJDamage's response.

"I'm supposed to be here with somebody?" * smile *

I'd probably avoid the excessively smartass response or overly reactive response unless you decided right then that you don't want her. Overreating takes some power from you because you're basically losing your cool when doing it.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

It's small talk... chick has no line so she asks that question...

If you're in good spirits tell her that you're there with your wingman... undoubtedly that will kick start the conversation and she'll wonder what a wingman is... then you can make a wingman whatever you want to make it... you want to give her his totally not true sob story so she fixes him up with one of her friends, go right ahead... lol

Oh yeah, if you actually did come with someone or a few people, then the truth would be a perfectly fine answer. No reason to make a mound out of a mole hill.
