"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.

so theres an event the city i live in was hosting this last weekend. my gf was there with her girlfriends getting drunk. afterwards they wanted to go to a club near by however i wanted to go to a different club. so we went our seperate ways for the night. she texted me to come over late nite when she was home but i was already in bed so i didnt.

the next day she found a tampon wrapper in my house bathroom so she questioned me about it. (it was nothing really friends gf must have put it there) but i replied by saying it was nothing and why would you even think that. how would you like it if i searched your phones text messages. she said go ahead and look theres nothing.

i came across some guys name and asked about it. heres what the text conversation said.

gf -" come to xxx bar"
guy- "cool"
later in the night around 2am
"so you live off xxx right? can i come?"


she didnt respond.
i asked for an explanation she said that it was a guy she dated one time before me. she now hookd him up with her girl friend. the girlfriend that night asked my gf to text him to come to the bar. she did. she said after the bar she saw that text and she was mad he would do that and didnt respond.


so now i dont know how to react. we talked about it last nite and that was the explanation i got. do i bring it up again today? do i not bring it up because it isnt alpha? we have been together for 2 years with a 4month break. in between. if i do bring it up how do i talk about it. thanks for help guys. your advice is appreaciated.
 

"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.

Why would you bring up the phone? Why did you then look at it? If you have to look at her phone then it sounds like you don't trust her. If you don't trust her, why are you so close to her?

Did you get defensive about the tampon?

I think bringing it up again just pours gas on the fire. Let it go. If she's a slvt you'll figure it out.

Put this situation on your radar and keep it there til you have reason to drop it. Don't go nuts on her though, don't question her about crap and make sure you're living your life for YOU and not her.

Sounds like a bunch of games, OP.

Why didn't you just tell her what the tampon was, and understand her reaction?

I mean, look at yours.

Quite frankly, some things are questionable. Whether or not you can ask the questions, and ANSWER the questions maturely without games, is going to make or break the relationship.

Not everything is a big game, and not every considerable action is "afc" or "dj", some things are common courtesy and common sense. Both scenarios here are highly, highly questionable, and how you two deal with it is going to define this relationship.

This isn't going to work, Romjuan. Looking back at your threads starting over this chick, it's just...................not going to work. You're head over heels for her, though, so it seems you're going to learn this lesson the hard way.

And I'm saying this girl is a bad person or anything. It's just that you are extremely AFC and I don't think this girl sees you in a good light. And the bad news (or worse, I should say), is that once she loses disrespect for you, you really won't ever get it back. Ever. Man if I know one, I know a hundred relationships (including some of my own) that end later on when you've broken up and gotten back together. Oftentimes it's in marriage.

Stick around and hopefully learn something this time, because it doesn't seem this situation will end well for you if you don't.

And don't listen to iqqi, her advice is retarded. This is not games to everyone who "gets it". It's pretty cut, dry and defined right there for you.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
