"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.

I reconnected with an acquaintance thru facebook and suggested we get together, she excitedly agreed. I suggested a particular night and instead of responding within 2-3 mins that she had been previously in the interaction she lagged for like 10 minutes so I told her I had to go and to let me know when she was free, then I logged off.

When I logged back in she had responded 20 minutes later saying that she was supposed to go out with her sister that night and that I could come and meet with them.

My Initial reaction is that she's either low IL or is giving me some kind of **** test.

Would you:
A) Go along with her and her sister
B) Suggest another night for a one on one and choose the venue
C) Something else?
 

"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.

Ite bit I bolded was just weak and desperate looking

My Initial reaction is that she's either low IL or is giving me some kind of **** test.She gives no shiits about you move on.

C) Something else?
Choose something else. she isnt sure about you.

Probably because you stalked her on facebook.

Hope this isnt your only option.

I responded "nah, I'm good. You two have fun though."

Lol @ "Probably because you stalked her on facebook.". I just added her cuz I saw her on another friends page and had forgotten about her, and I want to be the first kid on my block with 1000 facebook friends :crackup:, but she messaged me immediately with lots of smileys and exclamation points and **** so I thought I'd give her a chance.

Only option. Yea I'm totally lovesick oneitis pedastaling this girl. :crackup:

This^

"nah, I'm good. You two have fun though."

Not this^

Dude.......you sound butthurt. Shouldnt have waited a few days than said "Something came up, ill be busy "whatever day"...when are you free next week?"

She did counter offer...but its not good for you. She probably legit had plans with her sister, and shes on the fence about you...so shes not interested enough to ditch her sister. I would have said the above and seen what she had replied...would have given you a better idea where her interest level is.

I didn't word it quite that way. I let her know I wasn't interested in joining her and her sister, and that they should have a nice time together.

I'm not butthurt at all I just am indifferent. If she wants to see me she'll let me know. It's just not worth it to me to try all that hard with this girl.
 

"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.

Yet you post on this forum asking for opinions and get defensive when filth and I point out obvious observations.

You call it getting defensive, I call it clarifying myself.

Anyway thanks for the input I'll keep it in mind.

She probably wants to feel you out first. Either that or she actually had plans with her sister (highly possible) or is trying to give you an excuse.

Never accept anything but a 1on1. Anything else is NOT a date. Try again once more, if she bullshıts you again, she's not interested or wants another girlfriend with a penis.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Ignoring your date request and then counter offering with meeting her and her sister/friends somewhere is text book friend zone behavior. If she really liked you she wouldn't be bringing her sister along.

A. No
B. No
C. Next and NC

Should had gone met with both sisters. Your charm would have kept them both glued to you... Making your social status climb to the top. This is girl who you havent spoken on years... She needs to feel u out.
