"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.

Here's my deal, I was a member on this board about 4 years ago and I learned alot from this site. When I joined I had no clue what the dating life was all about. Being burned by many women back in the day I decided enough was enough. After learning from this site I had a lot of success with women but after a while of I began to cut back and slowly but surely I turned back into an AFC which brings me back to this site.

I recently started dating a girl and we have been together almost 5 months. 5 months is a long time for me..trust me. I am at that point where I want to settle with someone and start a life with her. Since I have been with her I constantly find myself doing AFC crap!! For some reason I feel weak as a man around her. I feel that she doesnt respect me that much because of my AFCness. I am at that point in the relationship where it's getting kind of boring. I do love this girl, she is really cool and I get along with her well. But like every relationship it is always exciting in the beginning and then it starts to fizzle out and then you are becoming numb and routine. She has a very hard time expressing her self. Conversations with her is mostly surface level and I don't get that mental stimulation from her as I would like. Well I have decided to hang up my AFC hat once again and step up to the plate and be the man I am supposed to be. I hate feeling like a chump and not respected. I hate that I lost most of the skills I have learned from this site but I will be back on my game.

"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.

Well, welcome back!

So, you are finding yourself becoming afc in your LTR sometimes? Well, I made a post on keeping LTR Interest Level. May not be the best but, there isn't much threads on this topic... http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=136122

I would say go back and re-read older threads and get caught up with yourself.
