"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.

Ok, I've got a little experiment I want to set up and I figured you all could put a little input in for everyone to use that has been in this situation and wanted to get out, but didn't know how.

I liked this girl a few months ago. Quite attractive. Kinda long distance (20 miles). But she believes in long distance relationships so that's not a big problem. Since it's a fact that I'm in her "friend zone" I want to see what it takes to successfully get myself out. That's why I'm doing this test.

I've started talking to her a lot more, and Sunday we're going to the beach. It's a start, but I want everyone else's input on what to do and together, maybe we can help out others. I just thought this little experiment was a cool idea.

Tell me what you think and where I should take it from here.

Thanks. :cool:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

That's what I plan on doing. Good thing is, she actually gives me something to work with, when I flirt, she flirts back kinda thing.

But remember, this is still just a friend, so I want to do this successfully, and remain friends or more. I don't want it crashing and failing. haha. ;)

Yeah man, I'm in a similar situation with one of the chicks I know

And yes I agree, the easiest way for us to get out of this situation is to as ARocket so eloquently put it:

"Kino your @ss off....escalate, escalate, escalate."
(I'm laughing but it totally true!) :yes:
