"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.

in the beginning, i thought this girl didn't want to have anything to do with me. whenever we're split up into groups, we're never in the same one. all of a sudden, on wednesday, she's sitting next to me everywhere. in the conference room, she sits next to me. she stands next to me wherever we go, and then sits next to me at lunch. when she was missing some worksheets, instead of looking on her bff's, she's looking on mine. :confused: how did this chic turn a sudden 180 just like that?

anyone had this happen to them? i thought she was cute in the beginning, but since she seemed like she was keeping her distance from me, i lost interest.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

If you lost interest then why are you making a thread on her? Because you want to see if you can spark something. What is your next move?

She made a "woman approach" on you, which is basically making it as easy as humanly possible for you to open an approach on her. Why have you rejected her approach then come here talking about it? Because you lost interest? If you really lost interest you would not be here. Don't make excuses for not taking action. If you're not posting on this forum, I'm assuming you are getting every woman you want and don't really care for the ones you're not.

Not trying to force you to make a move on her in case you truly did lose interest, but now that you have the chance... Why not? Life's too short to have imaginary higher value because of "lower interest".

why be interested in a girl who seem like she didn't want to have anything to do with me? her move sparked a little interest in me, but i was more curious as to why she turned a 180 like that. i'm more interested in another girl.
 

"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.

^^ you're right on the money. i've read AD's stuff and agree with a lot of it. never really pined over a girl who didn't show interest or disrespected me.

as for the girl, it's a possible explanation.
