"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.

Well, as I have mentioned in one of my old posts I've met a very sweet girl on campus and we are going out for a few weeks now!

More or less everything is pretty cool between us, but one thing keeps me thinking and wondering:

She makes a big secret out of our relationship... most of her friends do not know about us and she does not want to kiss or touch me on campus because someone who knows her could see us together. She says the reason for this big secret is, that she still lives in one apartment with her X-boyfriend plus two more guys and she just broke up with him a few weeks ago. Now she doesn't want him to know that she already has a new boyfriend until she moves out of the apartment...

...what do you think... would that be a reason for you to NEXT her?!?!
 

"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.

Next her only if you would really like her to be more public with her affections. If you're satisfied with what she gives you behind closed doors, then there's no point in just throwing it all away. If you want things with this girl to be serious, then next her because she seriously needs to grow up. I see no reason why she should still try and protect her ex-bf's feelings.

Ha now think why YOU wouldnt want to be seen with a girl in public....Shes obviously looking to hook up with other people, or in the process. Hopefully you are not the one being played here.

Grab her and kiss her, public or not, and when she starts talking about not wanting to be seen, remind her that your relationship is not platonic and tell her that you wont act like her ***** whipped but not-getting-any friend. Alternatively, you could take this charade to an extreme, and be on the prowl while with her on campus. When she raises a fuss, tell her that you're just trying to make it look like you two are not together, since obviously the world will end if somebody sees you guys on campus acting like more than friends. Just don't put up with it if you don't like it.

I may not next her, but I wouldn't commit much to her either. She's volatile, still living with her ex-boyfriend and pulling this crap after only a few weeks.
