"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.

I'm going to keep this short, but this doesn't reflect how much I've been mulling this over.

I have a gf of 5+ months. I see her everyday (at Uni in the same block), stays over every night, living with her and 4 other friends next academic year. Really like her. Especially the sex and company.

But I'm only a wee 18 year old lad and I really should be having sex with lots of girls. On holidays I go to clubs to get numbers and chat girls up, but I don't follow it up. I don't want to lie to the gf, she's a great girl and doesn't need it:rolleyes: .

What I really want to do is maneuver things to open up a realm of open sex and potential threesomes - but - while keeping this girlfriend happy and groovy. Oh and some cake :rockon:.

I think I've just let things roll with this relationship, the problem is though while her sleeping over every night is too much... I love it. My first thought is to ease this off, make a bit of space.... hmmmm.

So friends I implore you to give me some help and advice, anyone done anything similar? I can see a bit of a flame coming; I guess I am being greedy, but if you don't ask you don't get:trouble:.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

dude, you can't have it both ways the only way i can see you getting what you want is by telling your gf u want sum space your still young u wanna test the warters or there is the other option you can cheat on her jus keep it descreat and if she dose find out u knew the risks involved so you'll only have yourself to blame and even if she did leave your ass it aint all that bad sooner or later you'll find anouther girl jus as gd or better (but thats only if your out searching for her) :)

Well you might as well figure this out now rather than when you are married. Call it anything thing you want - but essentially you are unhappy on some level. Its not really fair to try and work your GF into a casual situation.

You really have to break up with her and pursue your interests if thats what you want. The difficulty here is that you are in a "comfort zone" and are afraid to step out of it. Once you step out - you'll be asking why you didn't do it sooner.

Meh, whatever :rolleyes:.

I eased things off for two weeks, LJBFed her, said we could still cuddle. Now I'm single but still ****ing her, and everyone's happy and friends.

That was the kind of a suggestion I was looking for.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

^^^ I have no bloody idea. People can stick their opinions- we want suggestions. I do not ask why or if- just how :cuss:.
