"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.

Both pregnancy tests wrong?!

Hi everybody!
My girlfriend and I had sex without a condom a couple of times about the end of May. Actually, I just penetrated 4-5 times each and then pulled out far before ejaculating. Her period was supposed to start on June 7th but it didn't.
She's always been pretty irregular (exactly a year ago, she was 19 days late when her period finally came), so I wasn't too scared. Anyway, I had to study for an important exam, so I bought her a pregnancy test.

We used the first test in the afternoon, but I had her drink a lot of water before (I wanted her to take a big pìss, I didn't know that drinking may change the results) and it came out negative.

The next morning she tested the first pìss of the day and it came out negative again.

Anyway, today she's 13 days late. Is it possible that both tests were wrong?!?!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yes, it's possible.

Go ahead try one or even two more (and don't have her drink so much). It's well worth the cost to be totally certain.

I'll get her another test next week, but my parents say that probably she's just late or she's missing her period and that I shouldn't worry about it.

She says that she'd abort, although I'm not sure I would agree with that.
 

"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.

If she recently began taking birth control, that may affect her period. Other things like stress can affect her period.

Also, she should be pissing on the stick first thing in the morning for best results. Are you seeing the results with her, or are you taking her word for it?

Actually she stopped taking the pill a couple of months before her last period.
The first time I was with her (I was holding the stick:)) but she took it in the afternoon, plus after drinking lots of water.

The morning after, she was alone, but I can completely trust her (she's the one who'd abort, I'd make her keep the kid, so why should she lie to me? Plus she's not a lying person).

Also, my mother thinks that it's probably all due to climatic changes (heat came all of a sudden here) and the stress due to the end of school.


Actually, it would be pretty unlucky for her to get pregnant with a couple of unprotected penetrations and pulling out and after having 2 tests with negative results.

yes.
very early in a pregnancy when a period is late, you are suppose to take the pee test early in the morning , so the pee is more concentrated and stronger urine can help detect the hcg hormone( hcg only found in pregnant women or women that just gave birth or just had an abortion) early pregnancy some women have such a low hormone count that you can not even pick it up with urine and have to go to a dr or clinic and have blood taken.
every few days the hormone count grows and it is easier to test at home.

there can be false negative tests and really be pregnant due to this.
especially if it is early on and you are asking her to pee on it late in the day and after drinking tons of water. its dilluting what little hormone count there is, if there is one.

the only time it can be a false positive is when she has a hcg hormone left from just giving birth, miscarrying, or aborting a baby within a very short time frame. otherwise you will not get a false positive result.

lots of things can make a chick late, stress, weather, sickness, getting off the pill, the list goes on and on.

question is are there any signs of pregnancy?
throwing up?
exhausted?
moody?
bigger boobs?
sore boobs?
butt growing over night?

these are the things that frighten me more than a later period.

with my 3 older kids i knew before i missed a period and with my youngest, i didnt know i was pregnant for two months because i didnt miss a period.
 

"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.

1. She took the second test more than 20 days after we had sex, so the HCG hormone would have already been high enough, am I wrong?! Plus she did it first thing in the morning without drinking any water.

2. She's not exhausted and she's never thrown up. She has experienced some nausea and some headaches but it's pretty normal for her, it happens pretty often. Her boobs and butt have not grown, but I think that those things start to grow a couple of months after insemination, don't they?
