"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.

Hi

Quick question;

What is the best/easiest way to lower ones own interest level in a particular girl?

I'm in a situation, where I'm dating a girl who has flaked a few times, is constantly busy and seems to communicate with frustrating slowness.

I haven't gone/done anything AFC or needy yet, but if I'm honest I do miss her etc inside.....

Is there any way I can alter this and feel less needy/insecure?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

As someone who's been there too many times myself, my only advice is this:

Only care about her as much as she cares about you. It sucks and it's tough, but it's life.

No girl is ever "too busy" or texts slowly when she has a high IL in a guy.

Right behind you
Get pissed off at yourself for being a wimp. I'm not saying this as an insult by the way. You need to feel like a wimp or loser because of this situation, get pissed off at the world, at her, and yourself because she took your dignity away by implanting herself in your mind. Then use that anger as motivation to make you change yourself into a better man. A stronger one. A tougher one.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Getting a life and other interests beyond girls. Spinning more plates.

Only because nobody said this. Go to the gym and exhaust yourself. You will gain perspective through clarity that the gym provides. It clears your head, makes you feel stronger, and snaps that "cycle" of worship that can develop from meeting a girl that really moves you.

I actually have a case of oneitis developing myself and going to the gym helps me in all the ways I just described. You can actually get to tired to give a f^ck.

O and spin plates. I am actually having a harder time of this now that I really found a girl to connect with but I know its necessary and when you do it its still really fun.
