"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.

do you talk to your girlfriend everyday?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yea. I thought about this for a while. I was debating to myself whether I should or not, but then I realised I was past the initial attraction and comfort phase.(not saying you shouldn't continue building comfort and attraction with your gf)

I wouldn't text all the time though. Two or three times a day is enough. More than that and you come off clingy. And I usually wait for her to start up a conversation so I can see where her interest level is.

To be honest, you still should be busy with work, school or a hobby, otherwise she'll think you sit around all day thinking about her. That's a big attraction killer.

It's ok to talk to your GF everyday, but keep it to a minimum.

No. Been together 3+ years, talk to her almost every day of the week on non-busy weeks, about 3 times a week when I'm doing a lot.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
