"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 have a female friend that said when she went out on a a date with a guy, a walk around the park. I think it was on a Friday night. At the end of that date, he asked her if she wanted to do Sunday brunch with.

Now, even though she had time and nothing else better to do that weekend, she purposely refused to do it on Sunday, because she thought it was "too soon" between the first date (Friday) and Sunday.

I was like "Huh? Why?!" She said she likes to give dating intervals some time between dates because otherwise it's moving too fast (for her.)

I rolled my eyes, and said, "Cripes, no wonder you're still single. lol" (She's in her 50s, never married, no kids).
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

agreed. she has some issues.

She has a man who enjoys her company enough to try and set a second date bfore the first ends. Furthermore, he really enjoys her company so much that he wants to see her in a matter of days. And she says no? She's lost men because, during that prescribed dating interval down time, these fellas are finding, pursuing and bedding other options who value a mans interest.

Ask her if she wants a cat for her birthday :)

A guy who is spinning plates and has options will see this as lack of interest and next her.

Tell her to quit playing stupid games. You coined it perfectly "no wonder you are still single."
