"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.

Hi guys,

I have some particular AFC tendencies, so bear with me as I write through this post. Me and said girl have been friends for awhile (I know don't go for the friends path but then I am not looking for that kind of advice now). At first, I am not interested with her whatsoever since I was still into another girl back then. After things didn't work out between me and the other girl, I started hanging out with this 'friend' of mine. As I am still quite inexperienced, and not spinning plates while hanging out with her, I started falling for her. Hard. And yes, this girl already has a boyfriend and other potential orbiters around her, so I shall not get into further details on that.

The thing is I do not wish to be in any kind of relationship at the moment as I needed time to work on my inner game. I realise that I like her for the individual she is and the logical choice is not chasing after her hoping she will come around. It's just my brain keeps projecting the thoughts of WHAT IF to me and I am stuck between logical reasoning and harmful infatuation towards the girl. Worst still is I think this girl realised that I have feelings for her (urghh it pains me to say this) and has been using me to an extent. Still, in overall, she treats me as a good friend and does add value to my life.

So, my question is, what should I do in this situation? Should I still remain friends with her but distance myself from her? Or should I decide to break off the friendship? Any other interesting thoughts are also welcomed!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

While you spend time with her, you might be missing on lots of other women.
Move on my friend.

Wait, you dislike being in a one-itis or friendszone kind of deal but at the same time you admit you're not looking for a relationship.

So it sounds like you want a sexual relationship. Very simple solution, move on from this girl then.

Hey thanks for the reply guys. Really appreciate the thoughts.

Actually, I do not particularly mind being in the friendzone with this girl as I do not wish to go any further than what we currently have at the moment (my logical thinking anyways). I am just wondering if it's possible to just avoid the oneitis feeling I have at the moment while still being able to hang out with her. Or is that just not possible when I still have some kind of emotional attachment to her? Also, regarding moving on, how do u guys suggest I do it?

Off-topic: I am new in this forum. I heard its possible to rep someone for a good post or something like it. So, how do I do that?

Look man, it seems like you already understand that you do not have a chance to get with this girl. It doesn't matter if she breaks up with her boyfriend or cuddles with you and shows you affection. She just sees you as a friend and that's all she'll ever see you as. You said she already has a bunch of orbiters and guess what, right now you're one of them. Ask yourself if you really want to be that.

Thanks Chickfight. You do put matters into perspective though it sounds harsh. I know the consequences of my actions already, just needed someone else to smack the facts again in my face. Time to make a move on!
