"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.
She PM me at 02:00 AM on Facebook.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Your answer definitely alings with what I am thinking. She is in her early 30s. She is 33. Now, it is unknown whether she is returning home from a night out. Nevertheless, I believe she was. She has a daughter who is 15 years old, so no need to be changing dampers a 2:00 AM.
Here is a little background about how everything started.
I PM her on Facebook and gave her my opinion about something that happened to her. " For example I wrote her amout some people and mentioned that this X people do nothing for us. She replied "nothing is right" when I read her reply I thought she was changing gears to move on to another topic. I have to say that the conversation is getting bore. We do not have a lot in common. Anyway, my reply was "????in reference to????. I PM her around noon, then I logged out, but I came back online something later. I noticed that she had been online about half an hour ago, but did not leave a reply. So I didn't double text. Closed Facebook and went on my life and business. I was going to check if she had been online late, around midnight to leave me a text, but I just simply carried on and went to bed. I get emails when someone PMs me and I checked my mailbox to see if there was any from her. I found none. Then, around 02:36. I heard my phone email notification. I grabbed it, checked it, and it was her. I did not bother to log on Facebook and not even reply. So, in the morning, I wake up at 08:00 and logged in to Facebook. She had just been online a hour ago. I read her message, but I did not reply. She does know I have read her message. Now, I want to continue chatting, but I dont want to be talking about the same. I am about to read the antidump machine.
Now, I believe that she ignored me because the conversation was getting bored and probably wanted me to double text. Probably, she went out(this happened last night, Saturday) and after being unable to find some1 she decided to PM me later than never. So like to have something in her back burner. Online I googled the question and the answer I found is that she values me to some extend.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I PM her back at 04:30 PM today. I am in America. Within a minute of my PM, she was online and went straight to Messenger. Previously, she had been online around noon. I read her messanger status displaying "last online within 3 hours". She did not reply instantly and has not replied yet. I logged off.

It is 10:14 PM. No Facebook PM. Clearly, I am running against the wind.

Forget about it. You're thinking way too much about her.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You are not helping here at all. Just criticizing. The girl listed 2 Facebook relationships last year after August 30. Both of the relationship ended and each lasted a month and were long distance relationship with dudes living 5 hours away from her.
I do not know what happened, but she has a daughter. Anyway, she was answering my questions, but I last sent her a video I made and posted on YouTube. I wanted to see if she would ask me questions about it, but she has not. It was kind of an indirect approach to see if conversation would flow between us. I want to ask her for her number, but I do not like that I am always initiating PMs and she does not ask any thing. Well, she did asked me. She asked me where I was and I told her. When I first PM her, she was in no obligation to PM me back. So if she wouldn't want anything, she would have just blocked me.

It's not a criticism, just trying to help your inner game buddy.

Yeah, but we cant be giving up so quick. I would just give up if she doesn't give number or doesn't want to go out and even cancels date last minute. My concern is she does not initiate texts. Correction PMs, we are on Facebook.

Sometimes you have to be willing to lose something before you can gain it.

Antidump says I must ask her number. We have been messaging since Friday.
"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 don't know the question, then you never read the post. As a result, no need to provide your opinion based on perception or experience, and no need to participate at all. Read the post. It is considerably short if compare to other posts.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
