"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.

Why did she flake?

I met a HB8 at a bar a couple weeks ago. She seemed really into me and was sending signals out the yin-yang, so I left with her number. On Thursday I called her to set up a meeting for Sunday evening, and she agreed (though she didn't sound that thrilled).

Last night me and my buddy go to the same bar, and, to my surprise she was there. She greeted me with a big hug and kept sending the same signals (big eyes, smiling, laughing, playful hitting, etc.) as last time. So, I repeated what I did before... just teased her off and on throughout the night. I sat with my friends, talked to other people in the bar, played darts with other girls. I didn't hang onto her the whole night, and even had her bring me drinks from the bar (she's in good with the bartenders). Around 5AM my buddy wants to leave, so I hug her goodbye and go with him.

You'd think since I was obviously the one in control of the interaction, and from the signals she was sending, that she'd be eager to meet today. Instead, I get a text from her this morning saying she is "tired."

What happened? Should I have tried to take her home that night? Should I have left the bar immediately after seeing her? I kind of had a feeling she would flake. Women in Asia are really good at it.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

maybe she's not into the whole Anime/ RPG dude thing. How are you in looks?
 

"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.

[Sarcasm] I wonder, because you know, after a long night of heavy drinking, I always feel fit as a fiddle the next day.[/Sarcasm]

You obviously like her, so you want her to be available even when she may not be. Since not every situation will dispose of itself the way you want it to, don't take it as a personal affront when it doesn't.

Have a plan, then adjust fire when it goes awry. That's all you can do.

You didn't show that intent , that sexual animalistic energy that women love it so bad. Instead , you was ****y+funny guy who teased her maybe with two or three lines , and found more enjoying to play dart than to convince her to come home with you.

Im saying this from experience. I was the guy that called many girls at the club , and acted " i don't give a fvck about you because i have other girls and my friends waiting for me " , and jumped from set to set without giving a fvck. But if you really want to get her in solid way , you should really WANT to get her home that night and express it through vibe (thing that cannot be faked). Ill write a big post about this in a few days. Tim explains it very well in flawless natural.

Right on.

Don't expect to bring home women unless you're going to let them know why they should go back with you.

Women don't 'magically' ask men to hang out because they have been teased all night. They need a little push from you, the man, as to why they would have a good time with you.

Ouch.

Thanks for the wakeup call, guys.

(Verysuave, to answer your question: I got out of anime/RPG when I was in high school. My looks are average, though I do often have people telling me how "handsome" I am, that just comes from being a foreigner where I live.

To be more specific, I am tall, 6'1", kind of on the skinny side. I have kind of a squared-off jaw and forehead. Some tell me I have a "strong face." Others have made comparisons to movie monsters (Frankenstein, Lurch, etc.) I think if I wear my hair a certain way, the movie monster thing doesn't come up.)
