"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.

No way was this "the most AFC convo ever." AFCs say way more nice guy chump things than this. Even if some things were probably better left unsaid, depending on the vibe you had with the girl her feeling embarrassed could even work to your advantage (not saying this is definitely the case, but it can't be ruled out). I wouldn't be regretting this convo as much as you're regretting it, even if it's true that you could have done better.

Still, for all that, I agree with muscleman. Texting/online is best used to arrange meetups, not just talking crap (until you've fkked her, at which point the rules change a bit).
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Um...some of you guys missed the boat. And it is Hong Kong now.

Analyzing the "technical" aspect of the texting back and forth is irrelevant. You guys are missing the bigger picture. She was not interested from the beginning. It is painfully obvious from the texts that the OP misread being drunk as interest and "hitting it off".

Come on guys.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You're texting game was not solid, but it wasn't the problem. Regret over the other night was written all over her responses. She just wanted to forget all about it from the sounds of it.

One part genuine regret, one part anti-slut defense, 100 parts a total waste of time. Forget about her.
