"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.

can't strike the balance (active disinterest)

I am just so confused right now about how much interest I should be showing. It's like I can't communicate to women that I want to be more than friends. At the same time, I feel like I have to be "actively disinterested". It's like I can't balance between the two - acting like I don't care and showing her I want a romantic relationship with her. I have had success with women in the past, but lately, I don't know if I'm trying too hard or what. I can't seem to get the girls I want. If I go on a date, and I don't see any signs on her end that she is ready to be kissed, wouldn't it be creepy just to plant a kiss on her lips? I had a failed kiss attempt on my last date. Should I walk away from this girl? Would she even care if I said NEXT? The last girls I walked away from didn't care that I nexted them. They didn't care that I didn't call them. They didn't care that I was confident - which is actually normal behavior for most people it seems. I don't know if this girl is looking at me from the get-go as a friend. What if I'm in the friend category before I even have a chance to show her otherwise. I just want to have a normal time with a girl - but it's almost like no matter how many good qualities I have, it goes unnoticed or something. I am sick of games - and even more sick when they don't work. Should I ever be mean to a girl that is disinterested? I may be going insane. :woo:

if anyone is familiar with anti-dump's machine, did the girl not receiving my kiss mean that she is DEFINITELY disinterested????

Lol you think way too much!

Forget about tactics and forget about what the girl is thinking. Develop a Dj mindset and you won't be thinking too much or caring what others think.

You can't say she is definetly disinterested but I'd say that you're after putting her on a pedestal and she probably is disinterested.. so what!? Next her if she doesn't show you interest.

but my balance problem remains. I don't show interest and come off as asexual. I do show interest (try to kiss her) and all of a sudden she is on a pedestal. I REALLY like Anti-Dump's machine but it seems to put to much emphasis on the female. Let HER show her interest first. But it seems like I keep waiting for signals of interest and am not getting them.
