"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.

This is just another one of those things that there's no point defending. Guys spend way too much time on the defensive.

"You're controlling."
'Okay?' *go flirt with other girls and let her become the one flipping out*

"You're controlling."
'And?'
 

"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.

Oh I put it on her this week. After a ridiculous argument, more just noncommunication, as I could care less about this dude, it is the point on hand, anyways she ignored me for a bit and then I ignored her back, well in 90 mins she did not hear from me she mentioned getting her things in the morning...So we spoke or argued a bit later, and when she got home from work I had dropped her stuff off at her house. She called me immediately in a panic..haha....
I turned the tables on her powerplay, I told her if she asks for her things back she is gonna get them back and I will be gone. She learned a lesson.

Also, we went out to dinner yest, had a very fun and great day, but the waitress was loving me so I became sweeter to the waitress each time she came around just to be funny and rub it in.....I got a good response out of her, she knows Im a good catch and can receive that attention if I want it.

Its not games, its more of me making my case that although I respect her and hold her high, treat her great, I am a man, the man in this relationship and I won't be disrespected by being ignored or threatened.

We are closer for this. a 7 month obstacle, at this point we are truly getting to know one another and I am setting the boundaries about my convictions , morals and expectations.

damn girls are tough to deal with though.
