"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've been in a "unofficial relationship" a while now and i guess the only reason its not official is because she is moving over seas in a month. We'll probably never going to live in the same town again. It's been great. She is hot, into me and the sex is fantastic.

I think about her way too much and I am starting to think that when christmas comes around and she is out of my life, I am going to get a little depressed.

How can I protect my feelings at this point?

Yes. She's been talking about that she can't wait to see me again after her trip(a semester). And now she's invited me to take a vacation together before her trip.

Damn. Each time she is giving something of her self, I feel the need to do the same. Gotta learn to keep the power she gives me.

I feel more and more AFC as the relationship develops.


One other thing that has been bothering me is that she has a picture of her and her male friend hugging as her profile picture on Facebook. Maybe she is trying to make me jealous. Is that normal? I know I should'nt act like it bothers me, but it does. Kinda disrespectful, right?

Well, you're either together or you're not. If it's "unofficial" like you said, don't expect the things that come from being in a monogamous and committed relationship. You're making it out to be something it isn't, and that is bad news bears. You're upset over a facebook pic? Really? ...

Be happy with the time you spent together. Enjoy it for what it is, and really, 4 months isn't that long. Let her do her thing, you do your thing, and if something is for real between you guys, then you'll pick up where you left off.

Don't turn into a dramatic wuss and pretend there is something between you and her that isn't actually there. And from what you've said, this sounds fairly casual and non-committal, so don't wreck it with facebook nonsense.

I guess you're right, hansol. I should be happy with the time we spent together.

It's just too bad I don't have a back-up girl that I want to spend time with at the moment ^^
 

"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.

Ouch. :crackup:
Well, you really should have listened.
What else can you do? Learn and move on. She's not worth being bitter about. Consider yourself lucky it's over.
