"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.

I need advices from everyone about my relationship with new woman. I went out with her on 2dates. She is shy person who hasn't dated since 19yrs old. She is now 34yrs old.


How do I take this relationship to longterm status? What the heck should I do? I am out of practice in this area.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

good posts by both.

Read the Bible and retain your 'self'

Give attention when you want to but not all the time.

All the time means you show your worst and your best. Limit it to giving attention when you want to and that will mean you show your best side!

First off Picard, glad to see your starting to see a little more success.

Secondly, this is the second time I've noticed that your trying to be too eager. A common AFC mistake. I don't mean to call you down, but I would just like to point out that you are clinging too much to your successes and looking for too much from the women you date. For example your previous thread where you want to jump into society's old failing AFC traps of buying a women's love.

It almost seems to me like you need a women to complete you. You should work on being content w/ yourself, and being able to be alone before you will achieve success at the next level in your relationship.

MacAvoy has many good points. Try not to rush things. I find that the more eager I am, the more she will back off. Let her decide when it gets to relationship status. Don't have any kind of agenda but treat her well without making it feel as if there are strings attached.
 

"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.
