"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.

A few months ago I was dating a single mom, she was considering getting back with her ex-husband and I ended up dropping her. Now I been seeing a new girl for the last couple months. Everything has been going good but, a few nights ago she told me she isnt ready for a relationship right now and thinks its better we're just "Friends with Benefits". Since she added in the benefit part I'm assuming i'm not entirely in the friend-zone. Though when she said that, it makes me wonder if I am going to the friend-zone or is she keeping her options open or wants to keep me around her own agenda?

Personally, I'm getting to the point where I'd like to possibly settle down and find my future partner. If that actually happens.. :rolleyes: Is it too early to even know or care with this chick or just keep having fun and see where things lead and keep my options open?

Yeah this a red flag if you are considering for long term... Just keep fvcking her but don't make things long term with her. Don't over think it. She isn't girlfriend material, just bang her, have fun, and look for better options. Ya dig?

Just for reference and out of curiosity did she say this after y'all started banging or before?
Did you sense at all that's all she wanted...
How old is she?

Glad you dropped the single mommy btw.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I don't see a problem here. hit it while you're looking for something more long-term. Or send her my way. You can be the friend and I'll be the benefit.

@logicallefty - Haha

You all brought up good points. I was over thinking things. Its good to read other input. I'm just gonna have fun for while or maybe just see her less and search for someone more compatible with what I'm looking for. Part of the weeding process I guess.

She is telling you "you are mr. Right now. Not mr. Right."

Tell her she has a deal. F^ck her on your schedule, not hers and go date new women. She is dating other men. Go spin plates.

Update: I dumped her last night, she said she wasnt ready for a relationship and didnt see her self being my girlfriend right now. I said sorry, but I'm looking for more than friends. Time for No Contact!

Are you f*cking her or not? Just because she said so doesn't mean you're actually getting the benefits.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Consider her to be an escort that is giving up free samples.

@hockeyplayer and SpeedDawg, yes we have been intimate the last couple months. Come to think of it, most relationships end within the first 8 weeks :rolleyes: Unfortunately I think she just wants to go out and explore and not be tied down. And thats okay, no hard feelings. I'm just moving on with my life and will meet another girl who wants something just as equal. And the next one will be all over me! ;)
