"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.

From my experience, @stringpuller, relapses will happen. The important measure of progress is that the distance between relapse and maintaining NoFap is that the distance gets further and further with a discipline to where you can control your impulses and channel that energy into better productive activities.

Good luck, @Infern0. There's no shame with seeing a therapist.

Mine helped me earlier this year overcome deep seated rejection issues in the spring of this year.

I'm not 100% "restored", yet I'm finally getting to the state of zero fvcks given if a plate jumps branches or channels low interest my way. Fvck it.

Finding contentment in my own life, hobbies, social spheres, gym routine, work, and career transition.

Day 25 (almost 26)

Feeling a lot of changes, mental clarity is becoming very pronounced.

I have decided, to pursue nothing with women until 90 days, which will also be around 10 therapy sessions for me.

I have realised my motives in the persuit of women are not healthy, and i am not authentic.

This is going to change.
 

"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.

I'm trying to give up hardcore porn once and for all. Have relapsed twice this month. It's gotten to the point where I can't get aroused by porn unless I'm watching abuse/simulated rape clips. It is disgusting. This **** will rot your brain and give you the most demented thoughts. Hopefully, shaming myself on here will finally encourage me to get my act together.

Can you elaborate on this authentic comment? Im interested in hearing about that.
A lot of my old childhood trauma is still there, im trying to get girls to fill a void or to make myself "look better" and as a result the women im drawing in are a similar internal quality to myself.

Im having therapy now to get rid of the trauma stuff which i have only had 2 sessions so far but already has been groundbreaking.

I want to actually have decent relationships with decent women in the future, im tired of ons or flings with daddy issues girls.

I never went down the rape route but extreme stuff and abuse stuff was where i ended up. It's unbelivable the damage that stuff does to you so do your best to get free of it

Allowed my self to relapse yesterday. I'm going to go NoFap again in August. Congrats, @narcissist for making it as for as you did. 60 days ain't easy man.
