"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.

Scenario: You attempt to escalate texts into a phone call or date and she replies with this: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be bad but I shouldn't be on the app since I'm moving. You're a great person but timing is bad, I don't want to lead you on. It was great meeting you and take care :) "

So lets clear a few things, you got a few other plates, she's moving, and you're looking for the quick bang. Its not a big deal if you lose her or not, I just figured, why do the boring **** other guys do and respond with a "Yea sure, no problem, nice to meet you too, take care in life" blah blah bull****. Why not try for something ****y and funny to see if you can last ditch change her mind.

What are your opinions on this:

"I'm a big boy, I won't get my heart broken. Let me give you the best 3 months of your life, and if things are good at the end, no amount of miles can prevent a great future. Let's start with dinner tomorrow night, what do you have to lose? Other than an hour of netflix ;) "

Or

"Uncertainty stimulates my imagination, I just want you to know that if things went well between us in the short time you have left, a few miles wouldn't prevent a great future. I'm glad we met, good luck in your career".

I'm assuming that her low interest stems from conflicting feelings about her leaving. Obviously option 1 is the more forward and asks her out, while option 2 banks on the fact that the statement is powerful enough that she'll text you a reply and open a door for you to make one last move.

Any suggestions?
 

"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.

Female perspective: most likely scenario is she is not interested. If she wanted to meet with you, she wouldn't let her moving soon stop her from doing that.

She is being polite by giving you an excuse, because many women think that's better than being direct, it's annoying I'm sure, but if you have ever been insulted for telling someone you are not interested you would understand why many women just make excuses rather than be upfront.

Not saying you would insult her of course lol.

Sometimes you just have to take what a woman says at face value. And usually when someone ends a soft rejection with 'take care' that means good bye.

You have other plates so enjoy them :)

Here you have it fella's.....you just have to take what a woman says at face value....from a female. Truest post of the year!

And guys are supposed to respect women because they fear the wrath for leading the guy on in the first place? And women wonder why chivalry and all that bs is dead.
 

"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.

I actually think it was a typo, I think she meant to say NOT take things at face value.

The best response is no response. Stop wasting time with uninterested women and work on finding ones that are interests. You cant negotiate or talk your way into her being attracted to you physically. She is or she isn't.

Wasting time trying to get uninterested women interested is where 90% of men fail. Moving on and finding women who are interested is a much better use of time.
