"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.

Broke up with my girlfriend in September. She was cool but it then she kept talking about how she wanted to get pregnant and I told her to get out. Go out once a week at least and I workout all the time and I'm not depressed. I can't find any cool girls though. I hooked up with a chick on halloween and got her number, but there was just nothing there to follow up on (she was an idiot). Now I have no girls on the horizon and my ex wants to get back together but I don't really trust her. What to do?
 

"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.

Plain and simply, there's no reason to be with a woman if you don't trust her. Moreover, there's no reason to be with a woman unless she is enhancing your life.

She wants to get pregnant? And you're not even engaged? I would stay far away and make sure if you do have sex with this girl, wrap it up-- better yet, wrap it up and make sure you flush the condom down the toilet immediately after.

Don't be so impatient when it comes to finding someone new. You'll find that a lot of women in your life come along when you're least expecting it. It's rare that you're looking hard to find a woman and you find it right away.

Have fun for the time being and forget this girl, who you obviously don't like enough in the first place. Don't be a sucker just because you feel bad for her.

I don't feel bad for her really. I just want to nail something. She'd be the easiest to get as I can't seem to pick girls up at the bars for reasons not known to me.

I think I'm just going to do her once and get it out of my system, ya'know? Sex once every few months is good for me. I'll just use protection as always.
