"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 reconnected with an old friend a while back. How? She meets one of my friends, asks about me, and tells him to tell me to e-mail her...

So I do...we e-mail back and forth a couple of times and eventually I asked for her number. No response. A couple of months down the line, we reconnect again and I asked for her number. No response.

Now two years later, I see her at a bar with her friends and we chat it up and it the end before she left, I ask for her number and she gives it to me.

I don't get. Is there a logic behind this?
 

"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.

why would expect a female to operate on logic?

There is a million things that can being going on her life. Maybe she had a baby and was busy, mayube she had 3 boyfriends at the time, maybe she her computer crashed, etc see how rediculous it is to try and explain the motivation behind someones actions? Who cares. you got the number, aske her out and see what happens.

Relax....I was living my life...I didn't respond back and ask "why not?" I wasn't desperate at all throughout this whole thing.. I've known her for over 12 years..

She's easily HB10 and very single right now

The way it happened was I met my friends at a bar and they're all staring at this one girl. And I'm like, "Wait, I know this girl from somewhere." And I pinched her tricep and said, "I know you..." She was like, "Oh my god....

So we were talking for a good half hour. My friends came up and talked to her. She introduced me to her friends. I was definitely busting her chops on a lot of things...I mean a lot She's slapping my arm... i mean i held her left hand at one time and looked at her hand and said, "I'm shocked." (no wedding ring) and then she grabbed my hand and said, "I'm shocked too."

After a while we went back to hanging out with our own friends and at the end of the night, she found me and said, "I was looking for you. I'm leaving now. It was great seeing you. E-mail me. (Kiss on the cheek)." I said, "Let me get your number." She gives it to me...end of story
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

There's your answer mate - she's single she's available and now she's interested. I would go for it. If she flakes again that's dissing you and then I'd bin her. but worth another try.

Gaming is much more fluid in person than on back and forth crappy e-mails. Maybe you made a good impression. The other possibility is that since now you two were face to face, she couldn't just ignore your request as in the e-mails, so she gave you the digits to prevent any awkwardness or a scene. Try not to phrase it as "let me get your number" if that's how you actually said it. Tell her to give you her number, don't ask if she'll allow you to have it.

You're right. I think she just gave it to me to prevent any awkwardness.... Either way, life goes on..
