"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.

Just a question I haven't seen addressed in the forum so far or in the Bible. I am 31 so I figured I'd ask it here and get some more mature responses.

How do you turn a woman down, or NOT show interest? I am not all that good with social stuff as of yet (though the last year has been 10 times better than any other, truth be told!), and I find that when a woman talks to me whom I find uninteresting, I go all rigid and downright unfriendly because I am scared of leading her into thinking I am interested.

So that's two questions. I know it seems like a silly question for a board aimed at picking UP women, but it seems to me like asking out and turning down are two sides to the same coin.
 

"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.

It can be an interesting conundrum to attract various women and have to actually turn down or dissuade their advances.

To answer question #1 How to turn down women with whom you have no interest: Well, you don't want to be a c0ck about it first and foremost. You never know if she has a hotter set of girlfriends. And she could be nuttier than elephant sh!t. Lots of unstable women not used to rejection.

#2 The formula I've used with much success is to totally go AFC on 'em if you want them to leave you alone. Follow them around closely, profess your unrequited love for them constantly, shower them with droll attention. Be THE wussbag piece of sh!t.

Works better than a voodoo charm.

Or she might have that LOW self esteem that makes her eat up the attention, and the "AFC from Hell" plan backfires, and she starts looking at Brides magazine.

Take the simple direct route. "You are like a sister to me." Trust me, this KILLS any hope of a boyfriend/girlfriend thing.

Unless you are sharing fluids with her then you aren't leading her on - don't worry. Talking to a women doesn't mean anything.

Thats a good problem to have anyway. :)

OK, good help, guys.

I guess I just need to work on seperating freindly eye contact and chatter from actual "flirting".
 

"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.

If she had the " Low self esteem " she wouldn't approach him at all.

I stand by my suggestion.

Just thought about it... most of them are women with fairly decent self-esteem but are not hot. They're usually older or more feminist-types who are comfortable with being agressive anywhere they go. You wouldn't be able to afc them because they'd just accept it as meaning I was the sensative guy they think they've been looking for.

My town is full of women... so they HAVE to get agressive. :D
