"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.

I meet this girl at a bar not to long ago and got her number. She really seemed to be into me - considering she approached me. Anyway, long story short, I had text here a few times, and after a few 'no replies,' she told me she's going through a horrible break up. I played it cool and text her a few days later only to receive the "she's sorry but she doesn't think I'm her type" reply. My question is this, do I: A) still pursue her? If so, what would you suggest on trying? Or B) delete her number and forget about her? Lastly, I appreciate any advice as to how I can stay a way from situation like this in the future.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Buy her flowers to convince her you are her type.

My question is this, do I:

A) still pursue her?
B) forget about her?
I didn't get straight A's university but I would go with option B

"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.

Go with option B. She made this really easy for you by communicating to you that she's not interested by ignoring your texts and then straight telling you that you're not her type. Continuing the pursuit is only going to freak her out.

Consider yourself lucky.

Why? Most girls don't have the decency to tell a guy straight up he's not her type. This makes you waste alot of time since you don't know if she's interested or not.

This girl told you straight up. So delete the number, move on. And consider yourself lucky at least you KNOW, and don't need to waste any more time pursuing her.

I think he was perhaps being sarcastic. Just maybe.

Send her back a text telling her that you're not like all the other guys and that you're looking for that one special girl to make your life complete. Text her each day and ask her for a second chance and tell her that you're willing to fight for her love. Tell her that you understand that she's going through a tough break up and that you're willing to wait for her, even years if necessary.

Buy her a diamond ring and text her: Maybe you would like to use me for money supply. No doubt she will be back in a minute!
Seriously, forget about her.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
