"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.
Once you act Needy....

"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.

Again the background, we know each other well... I asked her out but she got back with her boyfriend. It was just bad timing and again she is still emotionally attached to the guy. Now she is broken up with him again... and I'm letting this one go for a longgg time.
We still talk but from now on I will not initiate it....

how much she tolerates depends on how much she likes you
It's just that we see each other once in a blue moon...very very infrequently..i mean long stretches of not seeing each other...
Even though I didn't act needy...but it might have come across as i did.... I still think we both know we have something here.
The timing may not be right...
"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.
But the thing with needy people is that they are never satisfied, so in the end their partner is turned off to the endless battle.
That being said, if you really just enjoy being with her, and she enjoys you too, then don't worry about being too needy. Just enjoy yourself. be satisfied
Me and my gf talk everyday, since the day we met, and never once has she called me needy, nor thought of me as such.
she says SHE's the needy one lol. wtf?

The problem is that guys think they can make themselves look uneedy very quickly. It doesn't work like that.
It takes patience.
Sometimes weeks, months, even years.
The idea is to not 'appear' uneedy but to actually be uneedy and move on to better things. If she comes around, she does. If not, fuc* it.
For example, a few years ago I was young and ignorant. Some chick liked me, however I smothered her. It got real nasty, she told me to stop calling her and that 'yeah you're cute, but i'm not your mother' type of deal.
Long story short, haven't talked to the girl in 2 years. I see her at the bar a few months ago, she says hi. I crack a few jokes about how she changed her hair color and I move on.
Hours later, she's begging me to tell her more about my hair. Again, I say 'listen babe, it's not all about you' and walk away.
By this time her emotions were about as wet as can be so she GRABS me and starts making out with me.
Again, I push her away.
See, I didn't just go uneedy for her. I went uneedy as a person. I don't need to stoop down to her level.
It took patience, not mind games or anything like that.
So yes, it is possible. But it's not a get rich quick scheme.
"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.

Great story! Exactly the sort of **** we all need to hear.WC2 said:
I agree with the poster who said "how much she tolerates depends on how much she likes you. But it goes beyond that, I've noticed that girls who are more recently single are usually much quicker to perceive a guy as being needy (often completely wrong) but if a girl is in the frame of mind that she would like to date someone, your actions are perceived completely different. It's trick because you have to show 2 different levels of interest. A lot of it is where the girl is at in her life and we really can't see that not just the "game" we put out.“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
...that's a great way to put it.
I really don't know if she likes me.... But if I told her I wanted nothing to do with her anymore..she would want to know why and then justify it if it was something she did wrong...
If I text her something funny or banter a little bit..she'll reply. But if I sent her something too sexual or saracastically asked her out...she would completely ignore. I think the word "date" freaks her out cause its planned out and not spontaneous...
She'll talk to me if I initiate it but I have no reason to contact her at this point unless I wanted to banter with her a little bit....
Texting can never replace the face-to-face meeting

You're wasting your time. Instead of messing around with women who are taken and who aren't interested in you, mess around with women who are single and are interested in you.PS79 said:

I wouldn't say that but why would you even want to act needy? Are you a needy type? Are you one of those slimy creepy needy type of guys that turn women off?PS79 said:
If so why haven't you learned to become a better man?
Someone made a good post about it...it all depends on where the girl is in her life....
She just got dumped twice in a one month span by the same guy...I kind of fell in between but she went back to him. For all I know she's dumb enough to go back to him a third time... I wouldn't be surprised.
She may have never been interested and I may have just been a self-esteem boost for her.
"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.
