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.
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.
What do you mean by openly? (her inviting you to isolated locations, calling you frequently)KarmaSutra said:No. They'll give themselves openly to someone they're in tune with or have an angle on gaining something from.
If a girl gives you LMR it's because her inner slvt is feeling you're untrustworthy or she has absolutely nothing to gain from fvcking you.

This is in many women's playbook but they don't always follow it. The ironic thing is if a guy happened to want a LTR and follows a long with a girls hold back the sex game she is less likely to get into a relationship with him.domino said:That some girls will put off having sex with a guy they really want because they dont want it to be just a one night stand?
I think what happens with some women is they get into a relationship with a guy after they have sex with the guy and then the guy totally changes by calling her frequently and just being real needy and the relationship ends but he continues to try to get her by calling frequently, so I think to prevent this from happening some women want to screen the guy to see if he will change after sex.SunnyD said:Hmm. Tough for me to answer this one. In a lot of my relationships I ended up in, I sexed pretty early on without really thinking about a relationship at all. It was just there, the sexual tension and I didn't think I'd want to date the guy. In all these cases, I ended up liking him a lot and getting into a relationship. My longest though, if records go to show..4 year relationship...I waited a month or so to have sex with him.
It's really dependent on the situation. I think NOW, in the state of mind I've been of late..I will definitely wait longer.

Warrior74 said:If the guy makes no attempts to violate the contract she spit at him....then ya you are right. As long as he still attempts to get some but lets her 'stop' him then it will grow into a LTR. She has to know you are interested. You just can't plop down and be her best hangout buddy.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
ketostix said:Good point, a man has to impose his agenda and not let her impose hers. Women have a knack for ruining the start of a good thing lol.
