Just curious - what's the longest dry spell anyone has ever gone through?
"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

about the same as bobbob but it has been my choice.....
Now I'm jumping back into the swing of things so I'm sure it won't be long now.

My current dry spell is almost 3 years. I had a 4-year dry spell about 15 years ago. The first dry spell was because I was lower than a AFC. The current one is partly self-inflicted and partly due to lack of availability of quality women. But a few things have changed for me in the last several months and I sense that the dry spell will be over soon (though not soon enough

Well, I went through a spell of about 8 months where I didn't get laid, but I still fooled around with some girls. It was when I first moved to this town and didn't know anybody.
Seriously you guys need to help yourselves and quit starting threads like this to wallow in self-pity. NOTHING is going to do it for you, I promise that.

Longest was 3 weeks. We drove through the Simpson Desert.
Which desert did you visit?

Ive never been to the desert :woo:
"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.
