"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.

This girl that I hang out with sometimes (have banged a couple times too) sent me this long message this morning. Falsely claiming that I was trying to get her to open up (which I haven't been), and apologizing for showing a lack of affection (which is good by me). She then went on to tell me that she hasn't been open about her feelings because she's afraid of rejection but that she likes me a lot.

Anyway, I'm really not that into her, and at the same time, I don't want to string her along. I suppose I'm going to have to let her down, preferably lightly.

Any ideas on dealing with this. I'm not a fan of hurting people's feelings but think that this needs to be dealt with.
 

"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.

If you like her company and she's still up for the odd bang, just tell her she's a cool girl but a relationship is not on the cards for you right now. But if she's going a bit emo on you and you don't want to deal with it, cut her loose but do it the way a girl would do it to you.
