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.
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.
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.
Well, I did pull her in when we said good bye and tongued her for a good 5 seconds...so I don't think..."I was too nice".donjuanapprentice01 said:I ALWYS get that, lol
"wow, why don't you have a girlfriend?"
Next time I get told that I will say "hmmm... good question. Tell you what, why don't you be my gf?" see the response you will get.
The scary thing is, one can be coming across as too nice without realizing it. However, I do not think I did at all. I told her she looked nice, but that is the only compliment I gave her.mattb717 said:I got the same thing a couple fo weeks ago when a female friend of mine was *****ing about what pansy her boyfriend is. I matter-of-factly pointed out he is probably the type to throw out entirely too many compliments to her and it makes her uncomfortable. I also said he probably thinks telling her she is hot all the time makes her feel good when it probably makes her feel more liuke a slut. Instead he should tell her she is beautiful. Her and another female friend stared wide-eyed at me and simply said "How do you not a have a girlfriend?"
