"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.

Hey.

Just reading through the old posts about it, and i didn't really find a definitive answer reg avatars.

Perhaps people would post some porn and you don't want to have to scan everyones avatars for approval, but why not make a rule, if its obscene you get banned? No warning nothing. I mean they might get away with it for a little while, but in all honesty, no one would waste there time. Especially if you made it that you could only get an avatar at like 100 or senior ranking.

Avatars are cool because they really accentuate the person, its kinda like Evil-roms nifty map of australia, that i'm sure took forever to do, but still.

Bandwith is also a major problem, but if there source is based somewhere else, is it really a huge concern

I would love to get an avatar, that would be totally kickin rad :D

Your lovable,

"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.

Read it. If you've seen posts before and we STILL don't have avatars, take that as the answer. :D

Yeah! Avatars would be FUN! Would it REALLY be such a big problem to have them?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
