"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.

You can do it for one who certainly would do the same thing for you.
Regardless If she's a high value, you played. Stupid power card that devalued overall. If you didn't want to give up 6 hours driving and wear/tear on a vehicle. Just be honest and say, "hey hun I'm not in the mood to drive 6 hours on Saturday". "I know it'd be fun and we can hang out, but I have some other stuff to do this weekend and I just can't devote that time to a road trip". Pressure flip and say maybe a chick friend wants to go and they can have a boring girls road trip.

Now read what I did and think about what you did. Which would you have saved face and not had to go on a trip?
 

"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Straight savage.

She's not your girlfriend, but if she were, probably should convey it in a different way.

don't know, I told her I didn't want a relationship, but she treats it like it sometimes. It's kind of a don't ask don't say anything about it.
well, she definitely knows the depth (or lack thereof) of your feelings towards her now!

I'm always pretty shocked at the chicks who dont listen to what guy says and/or thinks if they stick around long enough they will how him they are GF material

Well you told her what you wanted though so then it isn't a real relationship. It isn't your fault. The only thing though is that you shouldn't ask for $130 though. Like that's not even something you'd say to your bros.

Yesterday, she asked me to drive her back to her university on Saturday which is a 6 hour round trip and that she would pay for gas money. I told her 6 hours of my time on a weekend is worth way more money than just gas money, so I told her to have 130 dollars in my bank account by a Friday or no deal.
I told her I didn't want a relationship, but she treats it like it sometimes.
I knew there was something missing out of the story. When you're in an exclusive LTR, doing stuff like that is a no-brainer. You would end up driving her because you both do 5hit for each other. That's just how a LTR works.

She wants it to be a LTR, but you don't. She shouldn't assume it is. If you're not officially in a LTR with her, she'd better pay you to do things OTHER than sex.

She brought up again today. Told her I wouldn't do it and she acted like I was a pos. Told her parents knew the sacrifices of having a kid live 5-6 hours away for college and it was wrong to even try to bring me in to this at all. In addition, I told her that she hasn't been holding her end of the bargain very well(gave some examples), and that I wasn't going to go out of my way this time because she has exhausted her favors from me.
 

"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.
