"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.
When did you reach your threshold and cut that person out of your life?

"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.

At 30 I dropped everyone I knew. We had long past the point where either had a use for the other(s).
It was a good move and I wish I had done it sooner.

Sometimes you have to... And it's not always hard feelings. Some old friends you can see like going to church like a "CME" Christian... Christmas, Mothersday and Easter. That's the way it is for very many.

Finding this place caused me to lower my threshold for bull5hit. I cut one long-time friend out of my life after they pulled a really stupid stunt on me. Before I'd just stay angry for a bit and then apply "forgive and forget". I no longer forgive and forget unless they actually admit that they fvcked up and how they fvcked up. Most people will not admit to it, but a few will. Those are the people I will keep in my life because they're willing to actually make things better instead of covering up their mistakes.
"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.

I give everybody 2 chances. I realized that if someone betrays me twice, it's probably a pattern. I also realize that I have to be efficient with my time and taking the time to put up with games/BS is a waste of my life. Toxic/flakey/unreliable/untrustworthy people must be discarded promptly.
This right here! Solid advice!!
No games, no bullchit... fool me once then shame on you.. fool me twice and I will bury you!
a mistake is one thing, mistakes everyone does, but flat out betrayal? there is no excuse for such thing, when someone knows what he will or did will make you feel bad/annoyed that means you are not important to that person, so you drop that person, there is no point to it
you normally lose friends along the life for change on things you do and belive and that is normal, but keep around people with bad character or will do things who will annoy you, you better start to make yourself busy with better things

I'm nexting people in general a lot better than I did when I was younger. Male, female - doesn't matter. Life is short and I hate wasting time with people who only take and add no value back to my life. It's adios for me these days, whereas when I was younger I would tolerate such parasites for long periods of time. I'd rather be alone than have people mooch off me in some way.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

They can't even admit it, make up for the damages caused.

There's also the envious kind. I can usually sense envy coming from anyone even family members. The kind of people who immediately change topics to themselves whenever someone else had a good news to share.
Someone or You: "Yay! I just got a job at XYZ company"
Normal people: "Grats!"
Envious people: "When I got accepted at ABC..."
