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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Nope not at all.phooey73 said:Having the ability to be friends with girls is actually helpful in hooking up. Discuss.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I haven't even kissed any of the girls that were my friends. Also none of those girls have ever introduced me to any girls.
This one is helpful and worth readingScars said:^ That's good Maxtro. Make it very clear at the beginning of the relationship/friendship that you demand respect and always portray your sexuality. Even if she doesn't like you then maybe one of her friends will. The problem lies within oneitis. An AFC will have a girl friend trying to hand him off to get rid of him. While a good guy friend that she has qualified as good "boyfriend material" will generally get her hotter friend. Woman love to play matchmaker! But of course, you should avoid female friendships all together unless you're getting SOMETHING out of it.
This one isn'tExhumed said:You're alone there
I don't even think that is true. I've never had a girl try and pass me off to somebody else. The only conclusion is that they may have thought I wasn't good enough for any of their friends... Or maybe none of their friends were single at the time.An AFC will have a girl friend trying to hand him off to get rid of him
