"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I have been friends with this HB 8.5 for around a year now. At first she was giving me STRONG signals, and always hinting that she wanted me, but I just didn't feel that way towards her. However, in the past month I've became very attracted to her. Obviously, I haven't told her how I feel and still act as if I am not attracted to her.

We have flirted heavily via text msgs and IMs for weeks, but it doesn't get any farther then that. I have also started acting as a jerk, and not a nice guy around her. Some days she seems to ignore me, and othertimes she seems to be interested in me, but she is very hard to read. I am beginning to think that she simply gave up on me and moved on to someone else. During one of our conversations she asked me what kind of women I liked and playfully insisted that she would set me up with someone, and in another one she even said that we would make a good couple, but it was hard to see if she was joking or serious. What would have been a proper response?

Any advice or should I just keep her as a friend?
 

"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.

Are you in internet love with this girl? If so declare your undying admiration for her heart and then wuss out. Sounds like you're catching a slight case of One-itis already.

Otherwise you're going to have to get some sac and look for some other poon.

After a year, yes she has given up on you. Too late. You are in the friendzone.

Have you even asked her out on a date? It seems like all the communication between you do has been distant via cell phone and internet. Ask her if she wants to go somewhere on a friday night... Then you will know.

It's pretty much over buddy. ONE YEAR, my god. I would never hang around a girl for that long period especially talking to her every single week without ANY focking action. Give it up, MOVE ON!

If you REALLY REALLY want to be with her. Cut all contact, ignore her. If she contacts you, keep it brief. But do not sound all so goody goody to talk to her. I don't think it'll work, but you never know.
 

"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.

F*CK, I have caught oneitis. And, she is really ignoring me now and not even initiating conversation anymore. The problem is that I take the same class with her a few days a week, so I can't fully not think of her.

I guess my best option now is to just get more numbers and try to get rid of this oneitis.
