"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.

She said: "Ew, you obviously knew we were related, why the hell did you ask me out"?

Any clever one-liners to this?

Lol

"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.

You can pretend that you didn't know and now that you do you don't care. Shrug it off in general.

Or you can say something like, "who am I to decide whats meant to be or not meant to be? I just go with the flow."

Just ignore it... keep asking her out and going forward. If she starts making this a problem where she isn't fun anymore, then stop asking her out. If this really bothers her... well... she can dump you, and that's okay. Never let a chick turn dating into drama.
 

"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.

Probably this...women who are interested usually won't care.
Women that are interested will accept almost anything, whereas those that don't like you will latch on to anything as an excuse. If a woman is not cooperating and making things easy its time to move on in any case.

Haha!
Last summer I heard that some woman I banged was telling friends etc...
I wasn't bothered (so long as she was truthful) because she'd had a VERY good time.
Anyhoo... a few weeks later, her aunt came after ME.

At one point that night, the aunt even said.."F**kinell, 'X' wasn't lying"
LOL
