"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.

She has become less affectionate. She still initiates it more than i do. But, she doesn't do the sweet things she used to do before. Like say romantic things or send me hot texts. I miss that...

I haven't been acting AFC to her... I do a lil bit of romantic things... so its not that i'm not putting effort into the relationship.

I use push-pull...

What's happening? :(

It a great relationship otherwise...
 

"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.

This is a normal thing that happens in relationships (most marriages too), things get routine, the fire slowly goes out.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Your the man in this relationship.
You need to initiate more.

Difficult to say because you've only given a couple lines of info.

I wouldn't be worried. On the other hand, I'd be worried if suddenly she started telling me she loves me very much all the time (something she never did before) and buys me gifts. :trouble:

Ducaro is right.

You have cause to be concerned when its an extreme behaviour change from the norm be it very bad or very good change.

In your situation it seems like the chick is still into you its just that she's becoming comfortable with the relationship so she seems to be relaxing now.

Heh heh its kind of funny though if you think about it and what I mean is when we men relax in a relationship and stop being ontop of things the chick starts to get bored and looks into trading us up but when a chick does this to most men they get worried and try to change themselves or fix the situation rather than trading the girl up for someone that acts as loving to them as their girl used to.

Not saying you have to trade her up or you should trade her up for getting comfortable its just an interesting observation that I had about how guys tend to put up with the same things tons of women would next us over.

be careful about this though ducaro. There is certain instances when this could change.

If she has seen you everyday for a certain period of time (say a year) then you disappear for almost a two or three weeks, then you show back up.

She could change her entire patterns by interrupting the entire pattern that has evolved over the time that you have been together.

It is all about patterns and how well you understand patterns that can make the difference.

I know my current girlfriend was getting used to me and then I disappeared for almost a week and the fire was almost put back immeadiately. Hour long sex sessions were back in our lives.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

search my picture thread in the AE forum. It will be entitled something like "Comic_Relief Pictures." If you would like to talk about what I look like, bump up that thread instead of taking over this thread. That would be much appreciative.

EDIT: Actually I will bump it and add some new pictures into it.

AND AFC Savior,

HAHA good one, but I don't care what anyone thinks about my girlfriend other than what I think. I believe that she looks good and that is all I need.

Tell her that HOTT new co-worker, friend of a friend, customer, whatever came on strong today. Say she was really good looking and asked for your number and to get drinks later tonight.

You declined to give it to her due to your current "relationship"

Nothing works like jealousy.

And if that doesn't work, either QQ or move on.

This is cruel and funny, at the same time!! It deserves a smiley face for it being funny :D, and a sad face for its cruelty. :(
