"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.

Hi, I'm stuck in a rut. I recently began to like this girl who has been a friend of mine for three years. I've been reading how it's nearly impossible to jump from the "just friends" category to "boyfriend," but that means there still is a possibility, regardless of how miniscule it may be. She also got out of a long relationship so I'm not sure how to approach that.

I don't really sense anything from her besides just friendly playing and teasing. I'd like to take it to the next level. . . .


Help me out y'all . .. :)
 

"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 "recently" began to like this girl?

Are you sure you didn't just like her for 3 years and tried to hold that down because she had a boyfriend, but now that hes out of the way, you start liking her?

Theres a VERY good thread on this subject, you're going to have to do a search, because i'm not going to search it for you, but it will lay it all out.

Just know that the process in that thread will take a few months, and it is NOT worth it. no girl is worth a few months of your time without actually doing something in return.

Yeah it's recently. I can't really explain it. I hung out with her often as a friend and friend only even before she had a boyfriend. I honestly don't recall any romantic feelings for her so I know I haven't been suppressing any feelings or anything. But that's hardly the point. I'll look for that thread :up:
