"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.

Curious, when do you call after a good date. Her last words were "i had a great time, we'll have to do it again." I was thinking about calling and telling her I had a nice time and would love to do it again, but not setting up an actual date. Then getting off the phone and not chatting too much.
 

"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.

What would be the added benefit of calling just to reaffirm that you had a good time? Isn't that redundant? Didn't she say it herself? Think about it, her last words were "I had a great time, we'll have to do it again." and you plan on calling her and telling her the exact same thing and nothing else??? :rolleyes:

You wouldn't repeat the things that she says if you were sitting across the table from her, it would sound AFC and silly. Don't do it now. OK, she had a good time, you had a good time, now do something about it. If you are going to call her, just set up a another meeting.

ok, i can TOTALLY relate to this, a guy did that to me, bascially, he told me he had a great time and we should do it again SOMETIME. He called the next day and left this as a message. It makes me think that he had a good time but since he didnt set up an actual date, that he is just leaving his options open in case he decides he want to go out. I wouldve been much happier if he actually made a plan!

In other words a guy who's decisive.

The exact same thing just happened to me. While I was in the shower, the girl I dated last night called and left me a message saying that she hopes I had a good time because she did, and she hopes that we will "talk soon".

I called back, which was 5 minutes later, and her sister told me she wasn't home. That's a bit weird...

Anyways I would've called to set-up another meeting as soon as possible, just like the above posters said.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Don't call without a desired outcome. Don't call "just to say it was a nice date"

Call to set up a date
Call to remind her of yourself and keep the feelings, if you're not dating her for 2+ weeks
Call her to say that she's free of you and you're fukkin other girls now

DO NOT call just for the sake of calling
