"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.

Well maybe I took a backtracking trip into "nice guy way" but you all can be the judge.

My buddies and we'll say me, through a backyard party that was way better than expected. Later in the night we were warned several times by the police to keep things on the low as not to disturb the neighbours.

I saw a girl there that I thought I would cheer up as she looked bummed out, so i did but i got the feeling she'd rather have left the party with someone else.

Here's the sticky part, are nice guys the ones that girls pick up on to go to for a pick-me-up and then go for the bad boys for pleasure?

cuz when was it such a crime to be both when it comes to helping people out. Is that the wrong choice I've been making?

The difference is that I never did any of it to get her in her good books or as a way to be a hero or whatever "nice guy" excuse is out there. (already this sounds as an excuse :D)

so i just wanna know if i was being a "nice guy" or simply a guy being nice.
 

"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.

you through a backyard party? it seems like you didn't put too much effort into thinking and writing.

yeah threw, forgot people were more interested in catching spelling errors than helping others. However, getting someone to catch their own spelling errors is in itself helping.

I was curious to know if what I was doing would have affected any future chances. Meaning I wasn't going to use it to pick her up, but I wouldn't want to be ruled out as potential because of it.

Which one would it be?

i don't know about being a nice guy and then being the bad boy later on.. not a great combo imo.. the thing is, though, being nice can be several things.. if it is something that the girl really had in need that she couldn't do based on her physical abilities, i would but if not, then use the bad boy charm on her.. even when she wants to be picked up.
