"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.

Well, I've gotten myself tied up in a long distant relationship, but I am loving it. She lives the next city over (about 4 hours away)

I will not be seeing again till December... we've never seen each other since we both shared our feelings. Now our conversations are getting pretty hot.... and I have a feeling that we are going to be all over each other when we see each other next... We use to be friends though... so would it be a good idea to lay a lot down... or still take it a bit slow? I really do not want to ruin this.

This is somebody that I love, and could see marrying. It's not just a one night stand or some really hot chick, or else I wouldn't even bother with a long distant relationship.

Ah yes good ol long distance. I remember that time. Time I wished I almost never wasted :rolleyes:

My man,

If you Don't want to screw things up well don't call so much.

And don't talk on the phone, IM, and writing email so much.

Here this is what I learned from my experience in a LTR/LDR.

Man your situation is almost the exactly the same when I was in a LTR/LDR.

I will tell you this that it's a lot of work and trust put into this kind of relationship. You can't afford being AFC or insecurities.

Great post onearmeddeejay! I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm in the same position you were in.

One piece of advice that I would give to stickboy though is, make sure you stick to the DJ principals. The rules of attraction still apply in LTR's. Make sure you remain mysterious, ****y, etc... and don't fall into a routine.

You still have to act like your the prize, sometimes don't call when your suppose to. Make sure she knows that you still have a life away from her.

You may run into some other chick between now and then and vice versa with her

I've been in a two and a half hour LDR for the past couple months. Believe me, it is tough but if you can handle it, then you will have a very rewarding expience on your hands.

Mine is very good and I love every minute of it.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
