"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.

I'm in a position in my life, where I'm happy. I work 2 jobs. I cook meals. I do my own banking, I'm managing my own finances, and discovering that I am slowly getting ahead rather then behind. I'm promoting my personal business as tech support, and best of all, I'm single.

As much as you deny it, a lot of you suggest to yourselves that if you got a girlfriend, you'll be happier. Well, what if you were to turn that around. If you were happier, then you'd get a girlfriend?

Funny as that sounds, it's entirely true. Because it's not for the actual getting of a girlfriend that will make you happy, it's your lifestyle and how you enjoy it that makes you happy. I was alone when I moved out into the real world after New Years. Sometimes a little sad that I didn't have a friend to really hang out with, or a girl to get to know. Now, a month and a half past New Years, I discovered that a idle mind leads to bad thoughts, but I worked so much that it didn't really matter. Nowadays, I keep myself really busy. I hang out with a few people from work, and I talk to girls every so often, but does it affect me that I'm running a solo life? Nah.

I have a lot of day to day drama, and really, it's kind of fun to deal with. Waking up at god-forsaken stupid hours, getting home in the afternoon, passing out the rest of the day, working at night fighting traffic and people. Financial problems, solutions. The little things that make your day, from someone saying Hello, to a good tip from your work. Interesting I think.

The time for a girlfriend will come, whether it's by sheer luck (See the C&F Theory in the signature), by me picking them up one day, or it just happens. I'm happy right now, and that's what is important to me, and what should be important to you too.

Closing notes, a girlfriend should be at the bottom of your life list, and doing things you enjoy that keep you busy and content should be at the extreme top. :up:
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Everything you said in this post is right on regardless of what anybody else has to say.

A relationship is like having another job, just you lose income rather than acquiring it. Of course, you meet a girl you're really into, by all means. It's always best to be stable first. Sounds like that's what you've got going.
