"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.

What's everyone's take on asking about ex-boyfriends, especially recent ones? I've never really been one to ask details about ex's (or really care all that much), but have been burned a couple of times when I realized the girls weren't over their ex after already starting to date them. In one case, the girl got back together with her ex abruptly 3 months after we started dating.

Obviously, some girls talk a lot about their ex's, which to me is a red flag. But what about the girls that don't volunteer any of the details?

"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.

Yeah, you've been burned before. But do you really think asking is going to make a girl tell you that she's not over her ex, and plans on dumping you soon?

Lol...of course not. I mean being able to read between the lines with regard to things such as what was the reason for the breakup, do they still talk regularly, as well as probably the most important thing...HOW does she sound when she talks about it. Angry, sad, happy, indifferent, etc.

99% of the time, when there is still an issue, the girls will volunteer this info early on.

You ran into the other 1%. I swear finding a girl who doesn't talk about their ex and still has attachment issues is like finding a girl who doesn't like to gossip. It's VERY unlikely.
