"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.

Hi DJs,

I must admit I'm not the sueavest man out there and appreciate the fact you're helping me become one!!!

My question:
If I happen to bump into my ex, or better yet, if she approaches me at the gym..

Wouldn't I come across as being "hurt" if I act tough…if I said something like: "I have nothing to talk to you about", or not even acknowledge her presence?

Some friends suggest I should act like nothing's happened (but distant)...happy-looking rather than upset (hurt).

Wouldn't being cool (not friendly) and worry-free mess her pride up more?

Thanks! Rene
 

"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.

I hate running into ex-s, no matter if you're over them or not it's usually uncomfortable and there's always the question of how to act.

But I agree with your friends. Be cool and indifferent, but polite too. You'll feel genuinely good afterwards too.

You're not dating her; she's just another woman.
