"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.

How should I proceed with the girl I'm ignoring?

I've been friends with this girl for a couple years. We were just good friends. Talk here and there as friends. Recently we started talking more and more. I started getting the feels for her. But she told a mutual friend she only likes me as a friend. So I started ignoring her. For the past three days that I've been ignoring her, she has called me and texted me at least three times everyday asking me why I keep ignoring her. But I keep ignoring it. How should I proceed? Should I tell her how I feel about her?
 

"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.

Well, you're deeply in the friend-zone if it's been a couple of years. Ignoring her won't accomplish anything. If you're into her, you're going to have to make a move. Don't "tell" her anything. Spilling your guts about how you feel is not a good idea. You have to show her. This will do two things:

1. She will know you like her more than a friend (my bet is she already does).
2. It will tell you, most importantly, where you stand.

This is why once you're in the friend-zone its damn near impossible to escape. If she rejects you, then blow her off or don't make any time for her.

DO NOT tell her how you feel. EVER. Erase those thoughts from your mind. When you get a girl that feels the same about you, your feelz for this chick will seem like nothing, so spare yourself the humiliation of fessing up to a friend.

If she's actually a valued friend you should quit ignoring her too. Why punish her because YOU went and got oneitis for her? She didn't lead you on. Just write her back and tell her you've been busy with some stuff and hope she's well, and sure - de-prioritize her from your own thinking process because you're setting yourself up for pain by pursuing. Hell, you could even use her for social proof, to set you up with her friends, wing woman for you. No need to write off a friend over a crush. Just take control of it and get past it today.

Then, get busy talking to other women, exercising, filling up your time that you'd normally sit around and think of her.

Write her off for a minimum of two years and date other women. You'll forget about her as soon as you stick your d1ck into a woman who's interested in you.
This is good advise... It doesn't make sense after someone allows conjugation and you see it doesn't take hurdles or barriers to get into...
 

"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.

Since attraction is not a choice I dont see how she can be guilt of something, you're mad at her cause she doesnt feel for you the same you feel for her.

As long as she wasnt using her for free drinks, as an emotional tampoon or a driver I dont see why you wanna treat her like that.

So in your place I would just write her back saying that you had importan stuff to do or some problem with your family that is now fixed and restart as nothing happened.

If instead you value nothing her friendship but it was just a way to planned to escalate, simply retreat gradually from dealing with her.
