"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 having a lot of trouble getting over this little problem, and I don't even understand how it starts. I have no problem approaching, or flirting, or getting to know girls and having them fall for me. Making girls laugh is easy (and fun), and not just being a dork but genuinely making them laugh. They call and want to hang out all the time, etc. I love girls. But when I get involved with a girl romantically, I find myself slowly getting choked up.

Over time, I start to get more nervous and shy around her. It feels so unnatural. Its like I suddenly realize I have something to lose, and it worries me. I don't know how to get over this fear. I don't want to be in a relationship with several girls at once to try and counter-balance my fear or anything like that. :confused:

"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.

You're basing all your happiness on just the 1 girl and if it doesn't work out you'll be left unhappy. Thats why you ae nervous. You are afraid of it not working out.

Stop trying to rely on women to make you happy! Happiness comes from within so become a happy person.

Short term yo should spin some plates. At least have a few girls as backup. You may not want to date them but they're there in the background at least.

well, i agree with slaog, that you are focussing too much on one girl. i think u should adopt the mindset that ur only learning at the moment. these are practice. and if u get a quality one, just go on having fun but that is practice. and keep that as practice. u should care more about her as time goes but after all, she is one of ur practice.
