"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.

Punish her after the fact

My gf of about 9 months was going on about a celebrity. Saying how she'd like to go with him and how she'd tell everyone.

I should have put her in her place there and then but played the no reaction/not letting it phase me card. Know she's trying to get a rise out of me but tough to let it slide (when it's regular) without feeling I'm handing my balls over.

Any ideas for punishment after the fact?
 

"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.

If a little baby threw up while you were carrying her, it would barely get a rise out of you. Look at her as the poor, stupid, ugnorant babies that women are. Don't let them phase you or see you sweat. Laugh to yourself and keep doing whatever it is you were doing.

Acting like you don't care by being silent is usually much harder than just playing along and messing with her. Being quiet relies on subtle, non-verbal behavior. Good luck with that. So unless you're an exceptional actor, I wouldn't recommend it. Pretty safe to say she knew it got to you. That's why she kept poking at you about it.

So given that you're not an amazing actor, just f*ck with her next time.

Her: "Channing Tatum is so hawt"
You: "Back off he's mine"
Her: "You're just jealous"
You: "... yeah I can't stand the thought of Channing being with you and not me"
Her: "No I'm serious though"
You: "Maybe you should write him a love letter"
Her: "Maybe I will"
You: "Honestly no offense but I think he'd read the first sentence then rip it up"

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
