"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.

Question About Ambushing

This post is related to the first one I made on SS.

My birthday's coming up in a few weeks and a drinking buddy called and asked me what my plans were. After I told him he warned me about that woman that brought me here.

I've been in total NC with her since I posted back in April. But he thinks she'll use the birthday as an excuse to worm her way back into my life. I assured him that she has no interest in me and vice versa. I'm confident about it. I'm not going to hear from her.

But he thinks she's been waiting for an opening to get back in. I told him I appreciate the concern but nothing's going to happen.

"I'm telling you it will," is what he kept saying.

Is this actually a thing? Where women wait patiently to ambush you after you move on? I haven't read anything like it on the forums.

He's not in her social circle so it's not like he has insider info. But he's ten years older than me and has been around the block a few times so I'm not just going to dismiss his warning.

Thoughts? Examples?
 

"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.

If you're decided about her, what does it matter?

With 150,000,000 women in the USA, some will be ambushers.
That's what I thought until my buddy got it into my head that I have something to worry about. I mean, it's a done deal as far as I'm concerned.

Dear Quantum,
Ambush or not if you don't want her just put the Wagons in a circle and fight her off LOL.
