"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.

How do you guys deal with this? I have done things in my past, in darker times . . I didn't hurt anyone or anything, but lets just say its stuff that I am ashamed of. Some days I can just say "the past is the past" but once in a while it just weighs on me. I start a negative thinking pattern that ends up with me thinking I am completely worthless and irredeemable.
 

"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.

You have to take pride in who you are now.

The feeling of guilt is only useful in the moment you first experience it. Its not a feeling people are meant to live with. It does nothing but take away from the brilliance of your future. If you feel bad about your dark past you should make sure your future is brighter.

I think too many replies clouds an OP's mind and so they don't get the real advise.

Focus on what you want. Negativity feeds negativity, positivity feeds positivity.

That's the real advise.
