"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.

you were doing great but when she came back all flirty you caved and had sex with her and probably said some stuff as well. This was probably just her ego seeing if she could get you one more time...not to worry I think you have done really well. A lot of guys in your situation see it as the end of the world. the fact that you have got up off the canvas and started seeing other women is great. Next time no marriage proposal except if it is from her and only after 2 years...
 

"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.

Thanks man... you're right. I caved in a bit. Oh well, another lesson to be learned.

BTW, what do you think all this bad mouthing is about? I mean, it was HER decision and i'm now the bad guy?

Picture a rock in your head. OR find one outside and stare at it. Is it round? Letting everything roll over it, to be washed away from the rock. Is it pointy? Better to defend against others. Heavy? Unmovable, sturdy in its convictions to stay where it is. Light? Agile, nimble, ready to move to the best advantage. Large, small? Red, Blue, Black, Purple? There are many rocks. About the only thing they have in common is they're hard.

Be the rock.

The fact that you even ask this question is a victory for her.

Stop caring about what this crazy b*tch says and what she thinks.

Hit the gym, make some money, date some hot chicks, and she'll hate you even more. Just keep moving forward.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

No contact since our last time- except an email i had to send informing her that she had to collect her mail.
You're doing her a favor by giving her her mail while she's talking 5hit about you. Either throw the mail in the garbage or mark it "Return to Sender". The bytch should've got her address changed by now.

And let her talk all the 5hit she wants about you. Obsessing about you will be her downfall. However, YOU need to quit obsessing about what she's doing and move on with your life.

Another update.

Well, the truth is finally out there. She had another guy lined up, BEFORE leaving our common living space. This came from a pretty close friend of hers, that could not keep her mouth shut and confessed it to a person that i happen to know.

So, i' ve been played guys. Majorly.
**** this ****. I feel pretty angry right now.
What a c#nt she is.

Angry at myself. That my choice was so wrong. Imagine guys... I COULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED to this slut right now. I could have had kids with her.

What a major ass i am. Total lack of good judgement.

If a girl is good enough looking, I just always assume there is, or very soon will be, another guy if our relationship goes to sh*t.

Girls don't like being alone for long.

You' re right. But messing with another guy when not officialy broken up and living with me in the same house is a bit tough pill to swallow.
 

"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.

Ok, i'm pretty much on track. Hitting the gym 4 times a week and i have a new job offer that i may accept that will boost my revenue quite a bit.
I have currently 2 women interested in me, i already sexed the one. The other is more beautiful but seems to want to be chased quite a bit.

As far as the ex goes... she keeps talking **** about me to common friends and acquaintances. I really am offended and want to go on the defensive, but i choose to brush everything off.

I guess this is the right thing to do, isnt it?
