"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.

Doesn't say 'I love you' anymore.

She used to close IM sessions, phone calls w/ 'I love you' or 'Love you' etc.

Now, she no longer says it, and I don't say it.

I know this is intentional behaviour..it's not like she's forgetting.

As far as I know, the relationship is going good.

Is this a sign that she's losing interest? Is she 'testing' me to see if I say it?

Why would she suddenly just stop?
 

"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.

You say that you don't say it but you wonder why she won't say it? Maybe she is waiting for you to say it some. Who knows why she doesn't say it any more.


Try saying " I love you" you to her sometimes and see how she responds. If she is happy to hear you say it more, maybe she just needed you to take the initiative sometimes. If her response doesn't sound very enthusiastic, maybe there are problems in your relationship that needs to be repaired but come on, dude. You are asking a bunch of guys you don't really know why your GF won't say "I love You" anymore. How in the world are we supposed to know the answer to that?

That's how it started with my ex...

Slowly, the affection was withdrawn... The terms of endearment are with drawn or become fewer and fewer...

In my situation, we just lost interest in each other. When It get's low enough, she (or even you) starts looking for some strange...

If you want to keep it going, you got to crank up the interest level. Either way, it couldn't hurt...

Does she ever ask you why you never reciprocate?

Either she doesn't get the same vibe that you love her and she feels like a fool being in an one-sided 'love' affair, or she is seeing another dude!!
 

"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.

When women get upset at guys it isn't always another guy.

Be more intimate with her without saying it and see if she is mroe intimate back....if you keep doing this it will be silly cause you will both know you love each other then one day one of you will slip and it will be back in the open.
