I should just forget about her
"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 think my LTR is cheating!

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Forget whom? I had already forgotten about this thread, and you should have already forgotten her name

I learned the hard way that a "Long Term Relationship" is NOT a relationship at all.
Because, well, it's not.

This. All problems you get will happen after she already showed a clear first sign of low interest/ straying.
The problem is we men hate to say goodbye to something we've invested in.
We have to understand that NO, the women we deal with are NO exception to the rule. They're predictable, and the same all over the globe, but we men refuse to use this to our advantage for some reason.

Got in this one late, not much to say has already been said x 100 lolol
Always trust your gut op, your intuition will generally never mislead you. I wouldve confronted her about it way back when and beat her to the punch by telling her sayonarra. You'll meet someone just as good in time. Take care man

"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.
