Every man has lost a future girlfriend in ninety seconds. Not because she wasn't interested. Because he saw the moment, and let it close.
The Window is the gap between noticing someone and doing nothing. It's the three seconds where your body knows she's interesting, your committee starts its objections, and the countdown begins.
Five. Four. Three. Two.
Make the move. Or watch the window close forever.
The Window Protocol gives you a framework for those moments:
1. Notice: See the moment before it closes. 2. Move: Cross the room. Say something true. 3. Offer: Make the invitation without pressure. 4. Read: Listen to what she actually signals. 5. Release: Leave warmly when the answer is no.
A window is not permission. It's an invitation to find out. The only way to know is to move.
