"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.

So I'm at my first year of University, I'm 17 turning 18 relatively soon.
About half a year ago I read the Book of Pook and began my journey, and must say what I've learned so far has been great. Anyways already I've been with a few different girls here, and first few I handled quite well I thought. But more recently there is this one girl who I thought I may of been interested in, so to make a long story short; Known her for about 1 month, made out with her a few times, almost had sex but I decided to stop as she was relatively drunk; Point is she is very into me and I've came to a decision I don't want her anymore. Yet she keeps messaging me etc etc. How would you handle it?
 

"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.

Take longer and longer to reply to her messages or don't reply at all.

Sweet. That is what I've been doing currently. So no need for a direct 'I'm not interested' sort of thing? Or is this never the way? (Just curious)

the best way to deal with it is to directly say you're not longer interested

if you just stop talking to her suddenly/out of the blue it'd be unnecessarily cruel unless she did something to warrant cruelty(just imagine if a girl went ghost on you for no reason mysteriously) or didn't like you enough to care(not the case here).
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Why not throw her one? Just tell her you aren't into any kind of relationship beforehand, she may not be either. I only burn bridges on the bad/crazy ones. Keep the nice ones around, just be honest, never promise anything, and don't give her the BF vibe.
