"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.

....Guys . . .This is quite frustrating, as perhaps, its not the first time this has happened . . .:trouble:

. . . . . So here I am, just returned home after the New Year...I get in touch with my friend (girl), who I hung out with and just went for dinners as friends . . . So the more I got to know her, the more I liked her . . . .I even brought her a present from my holiday break . .:yes:

. . . . . . . .She called me in the morning and said she'd pick me up for brunch . .We go out, talk , and in the end it kind of turns out to be a very nice morning. . . .A lot of tickling, kino and laughter . . .In the end , she bought me breakfast, and as I put my arm around her and to kiss her thank you, her head turns delibrately and our lips meet . . .:wave:

. . .So for the rest of the morning, we hung out a bit more, walk around arm in arm and the rest of it, but to cut a long story short - - - AS we are walking arm in arm, and I say something to the likes of " Yr just the best girl", her head turns toward me as though expecting a kiss . . .Aaaaand . . .I bottled it and did not reciprocate, when all I had to do is close the deal and live happily ever after . . . . :kick:

. . . . . . For the love of god, I simply do not know why this happened . .I am normally a pretty confident and debonair person, but this had to go terribly wrong . .

. . . .. . . . . .How o how worthy followers of the forum, do you recover from this blunder and proceed on course to its logical conclusion without looking desperate or foolish . . . :cheer:

. . . .. . AsI bumped in to her , and suggested that we catch up at the zoo - - - she told me "We'll speak soon" . . .But its as though I'm llosing the initiative, as my cards have been exposed. . . .:confused: . . Perhaps the situation is not as bad as it sounds, but its as though I have taken one step forward two steps back . . .
 

"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.

Don't worry about it. Pulling back rarely bring attraction DOWN in a woman. Not taking that bait probably did you some GOOD. It made her want it more. I personally would have done the same thing.

Good job!

Its not the end of the world.

I am sure you will get another chance.

A lot of guys seem to think hooking up with a girl is rocket science. Its not. Just try again. If she wanted to kiss you before she'll want to kiss you even more now.

Yeah, you'll get another chance...

BUT

...speaking from experience....

...she's probably feeling a little rejected. You guys were friends for a while, then she put herself out there for you, and you (as far as she can tell) said no.

So she may be slow to put herself out there again. It may not be as obvious as putting up her lips for the kiss.

You're only going to get one more shot at this, I think. You know she likes you, so just accept it. Take your time... if she wants to hang out, hang out.

girls want what they cant have, and always leave them wanting more. When your away, the IL will increase. Next time ramp up the intamacy (kissing, kino, whatever), then pull back at the end and leave making her want even more. Within 2 weeks, she'll be tearing the sheets off your bed.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Thanks

Thanks for the support guys . . .

. . .At times like these I feel I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill . . :whistle:

. . . . . .I just feel it would be a shame to lose a great girl . . And its , something I would hate to admit, but perhaps I did not play in to her hand because I did not wish to do the expected and let her wrestle away controll away . . . .:yes: . . .I guess its to do with retaining the high ground of treating her well without expecting something in return (if that makes sense) . . .

. . . . . .Anyhow . .We forge ahead!:cool:

. . .I'l ask her to the zoo in a few days . .See what that may bring:rockon:
