Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
Hey it does not matter how many strikes you take. It was a 3 strike rule before the late 2008, now it's a 2 strike rule, soon it will be one. I don't ask anybody twice anymore. There is no need for that, you change, they change, circumstances change- they will come to you. I delete numbers, delete Facebook connections, delete whatever, they give it to me again when it's time- ha ha. Why should you wait around? Do they give you any reason to hold to this number? Well, than f^%ck them. The point is to make them keep your number. Ha ha Be larger than life.JPlaya said:I see yall post if a women does this little thing than delete her number lol. I'm not a nice guy, but I do believe in the three strike rule.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
The more I read your posts, the more i agree with them. It's a female perspective all the way. We sadly don't have that kind of self-control.mahoney said:I never delete numbers, facebooks, mails or anything. some of the dudes on here are like alcoholics that need to hide a bottle in case they see it and can't stop themselves
Also a lot of the dudes blame females for their own poor behavior
