"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Girl I work with has been showing a lot of interest in me at work.

I would catch her looking, and this would start a staring contest while both of us grinned ear to ear.

She initiates conversation and greetings. Always laughing at stupid stuff I say. "Diagon Alley" in an English accent was the most recent.

When I asked her for her number, she gave no hesitation what so ever. Got it on a Tuesday and texted her Friday morning.

Me: "Hey NAME, what are you up to?"
Three hours later..
Her: "Hey whats up, sorry I was hiking"
About two hours later
Me: "Ah. You free next Tuesday for a drink?"

No answer.

I know from Corey Wayne that a late text message is a sign of low interest, but I didn't understand because she had been showing signs of interest ever since we met.

My texting game also isn't the best, but I doubt that this could have had a big enough impact to cause this.

At work tonight, she acted like everything was normal and was thinking to myself "yea fookin right. Im the prize". I didn't want to reinforce this behavior by giving her my attention as much as I usually would. Including eye contact.

I was trying to convince myself that she was probably testing me to see if I would send another text. But another thought that came to mind was, I was being used for validation.
I am unsure.

I would like the forums thoughts on this and how I am handling this situation. How should I continue with this girl?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Low interest.... Don't become her orbiting clown.

I'm interested in hearing some of the responses on how to "extricate" from this situation.... if it was some random girl... Screw her. But you work together so you will have to do or say something so you don't look like some cowardly whipped chump.

You just act nice and pretend like nothing happened. Making any acknowledgement of it makes you seem like a chump. If she brings it up, you blow it off like it was no big deal.

Unless they are humping your leg, don't date girls at work. She can make you look bad by showing people at work you are hitting on her. Plus, it offends all the other coworkers who like her.
 

"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.

Touch her more. Watch how her body responds to you

Then watch, as you eventually lose your job.

Low interest, move on.

Read Anti-Dump in the dj bible.
Jobs are for pawns like this guy. Don't let fear of lack of security control you. Build a business

If she is interested she will respond to your touches in a clear manner. If she isn't then she will stop wasting your time.

Don't mess with women in the work place. She has low interest and probably wanted attention.

Also, you came off as thirsty and desperate by asking her out for a drink on your second text. You should have asked her about her hike and built more comfort before asking about getting a drink. Don't ever ask about the date on your first few texts, it looks thirsty and desperate.
