"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.

But atleast I've identified it pretty quick. I've found myself getting jealous over really nonsense things. Like hearing about her being on another guys shoulders and drinking around guys she used to like. I used to not care, and had pretty strong inner game, and she used to be under my belt. Used to text me everyday telling me she misses me and cares about me, always initiated everything.. but now it's feeling like the tables are turning. But the sucking thing is, this only happened because I just went through a rough period of my life. I got kicked out of my house and had nowhere to go. I was house hoping, getting drunk every night.. crashing out anywhere I could find... sometime parks. But I was never allowed to stay at her house cause of her mom.. and during that time I got really emo and like spilled a lot of my guts and emotions to her... but honestly, could you blame me. I had like been abandoned and needed somebody, and she was all I really had to talk to. She says she still cares about me and stuff, and she's sorry I'm going through a bad time.. but she's starting to get distant. I can't tell if it's because im turning into an AFC ***** with OIS or if she just feels like I need my space. But it really sucks right now.
 

"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.

Dude, I totally understand where you're coming from. When women are having troubles, they expect you to move Heaven and earth for them. They expect you to sit for hours listening to them whine about their circumstances. Yet when the tables are turned, I guarantee you they will act the total opposite. They will immediately view you as weak and lose interest.

She showed how she felt about you by how she's acting. I know it's hard and I know you want to make almost every excuse in the book for her, but you got to let it go.

Good luck bro.

Honestly bro, if some chick was homeless and drinking all the time, how would you react? I don't know about you, but I don't think I would want to be with a homeless woman and I don't even think my standards are that high!

I'd definitely fix my life ASAP if I were you, and hopefully you already have (ether that or you're typing from the library). The chick sounds like the least of the problems.
