"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.

how do I even start, damn.

Well first lemme explain the dynamic of the relationship, we've been 3 months together, I control the frame, she initiates contact almost everyday (text me "I love you", "I miss you" and lovey dove stuff), I obviously care about her, everything would be perfect but then... red flags;
Even though she post things about us on fb and on my wall, theres something that caught my eye.

-She has posted songs implying that she is "over her ex" (the lyrics she quote, were something like "Now I've found the love of my life, and after all its amazing that we still can be friends")
-The other day she was checking her fb on her phone, I was minding my own bussiness but then I realized that she stills have him marked as "best friend" (you know, the feature where you get notifications of what is the other person doing)
-And a while ago she awared me that her ex tried to contact her (that he missed her and shiet)... her response is what got me thinking... "I cant"

Now im rethinking everything brahs, im pulling out emotionally of the relationship and im sure she is starting to realize this.

How to approach this situation?
am I overthinking?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Lol @ this stopped reading after "I love you"

How old are you 19?

You're a rebound guy, this chick is a FWB at best right now, spin other plates and Pump&Dump accordingly

im 22, shes 21.
I forgot to add that they broke up like 3 years ago and her ex already has been with his gf for like a year (I didnt even asked for this info, she was sharing it), and he was her first

FWB is what it seems to be the best idea, but yet again I might be overthinking. Need an outsider perspective.

Read up on it. I don't think there is much hope for this relationship.
ho lee fuk

that hit me right in the face...

Well, pretty much fuked situation. I think im breaking up with her in a few days.

guys, is there a way to change this? you know, like letting her down easily and with a healthier outlook for relationships?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

very much agree with this, 3 years and she is still not over him? there is a lot of this about, even mature women still have the feelers for that ex SOB and will bang him at the drop of a hat. anyone else (except a newer, more alpha, higher value alpha)has little hope of winning this 'fair maidens heart'!

fwb is the way to go

This is always a reliable sign that someone is trying really hard to convince herself of the opposite of what she is feeling.

If she's over him, he's not even a thought on her mind.

TRUE F-ING STORY!

Don't ignore this red flag OP, plenty of chicks out there that are not friends with the ex's. Low quality chicks like to keep there ex's on strings, just the slightest tug and the AFC is at her knees......OH we are just friends....we keep in touch. Such BS........

Love never goes completely away. A part of her will love him forever. But that does not mean that she does not love you. It does not take anything away from your relationship, unless you let it.

Dear Random,
Lemme for let me,yet you use the words devious and perspective?are you a Troll Brah?
 

"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.

Keep a rotation going bro. With options, I have a feeling you would get over this girl in short order, and maintain the ability to bang her when things get slow for you elsewhere.

If she's posting or talking about how she's over him.....she isn't over him.


Lots of other great responses in this thread. Absolutely and alpha-widow.
shiet, well, I think I handled this in one stupid way...
might actually have fuked up it up... or not...

see brahs, I called her out on it, I told her that it looks like she isnt over her ex
her response: "sometimes I post things just for the sake of doing it"
I was thinking "damn this girl must be used to get things to go her way, this is such BS"
then she started crying saying things like "you dont trust me", "I wanna be with you", "I wont do it again"..."why dont you trust me?"
I said: "look I trust you but there isnt much congruency with what you say and what you do, thats why I question things, if you feel like you shouldnt be in a relationship, just say it", the we left the park.

I was kinda mad at her for reacting that way so I just keep quiet while we were walking to her house to drop her off. She kept crying and every once in a while asking why was I mad.
I told her "I told you what I think, I thought we could handle this like adults and you go with petty justifications. That behaviour is something off limits for me". After this she didnt said anything, nor did I, just hugged for a bit.

Then she asked me if I wanted to be in a relationship with her (I wasnt saying anything, just walking), I said yes (fuk, a part of me wants to break up with her but I actually care and wanna be with her).
anyway, dropped her off. I got home and I had this long ass msg in whatsapp from her, basically telling me that she loves me.

This was on thursday.

On friday, we see each other, everything seems cool. Saturday, I go to her house to chill a while, things look just fine.
Today no contact at all, nor from me nor her. Not even phased by it.

whats the outsider perspective on this? (related on I handled it)
I just couldnt think on other way to explain to her that there are limits.

"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.
