"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.

And I want to try and figure out why, im not mopey and sad, I was a little angry.

1. I wasn't really a challenge, or was I looking for other branches.
2. I tended to not listen to her when she told me to do something, I even once told her I wasn't her *****.
3.she was 18 and I am 23, I figure that may play a part as well.

The day it all started I was a saturday night when we did our bowling with friends thing, and I had some drinks (she didn't want to let me drink....ever.) After that we went to my friends cookout, where she TOLD me I wasn't having any drinks.... I said forget that and hit up the beer pong table. After we were leaving she drove me home and told me to not go back, I said ok, I went in to give her a kiss goodnight and she got ****ty, Im not making out with you you taste like beer. I said ok fine, What days are you off. (which she thought was mean) then I left.

I went back to the cookout, and then the next time I saw her she said a total of six words to me.

Then over the FVCKING INTERNET.

She said I hurt her yadda yadda and she just does not feel the same anymore, and when I pushed for her to tell me face to face she just said she can't because she doesn't want to hurt me. So basically she broke up with me on the internet.


Mabye I am a **** but personally I could care less, It was my mistake dating an 18 year old naive daddy's girl.
 

"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.

At 23 I don't see any advantages of dating anyone under 21.

The girls have been with less guys, and usually easier to bed ;)
So are hookers, but without all the chatter nor the drama. Just because it has a hole, it doesn't mean you have to put something in it. ;)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It sounds like she was trying to control you and you're better off without her. You don't need a masculine, controlling woman. You two obviously weren't compatible. Be glad you broke up as soon as you did; now you can find someone better.

In fact, considering you were being a man and not her b1tch, she's really the one missing out. She may eventually find someone who will let her boss him around, but it won't be anyone she can respect or truly love.
