"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I ask out this girl, we've been on three dates so far. Her interest level is not all that high but so far she's been agreeing to go on dates and while things are moving kinda slow she seems to like it when I kino her and when I kiss her she kisses me back and smiles.

Anyway I suggest another date tuesday night and she says she is busy with a term paper. I say no worried and hope the paper goes well. She says "Yeah ive gotta do it this week cos ive got exams in two weeks time and wanna get started on revision". Im like "ah exams and deadlines are some of the few things i don't miss about uni" She replied "Are you free this weekend". I say "well im out saturday night and have a squash game sunday morning but otherwise pretty free". She says "Well I promise ill make time for you sometime this weekend. Fair?" Im a bit thrown by the "Fair?" bit as i didn't know about her papers and its not like im being unreasonable in wanting to see her again but i ignore it and say "Sure" and make my excuses and get off the phone.

So Im going to just wait to see if she does get in contact about doing something this weekend and if not her loss.

But her last comment "Fair?" got to me a bit as it completely negated the good sign that she bothered to counteroffer. Is it just her being a ***** because she is stressed out or is she trying to give me the hint that Im being too pushy and should back off?
 

"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.

Sorry maybe Im reading too much into it. I guess its just the way she said "Fair?" after her counteroffer.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Getting your panties in a bunch because of one little word? I guess it must have been her tone, because there is nothing in the word fair that would warrant this reaction. Isn't that just a way of of asking whether you agree to her compromise?
