"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 like the way you handled it but you should have never of felt like you needed to justify yourself for showering twice a day. I shower twice a day and it's not for hygiene it's because I frequent the gym, it actually causes me dry skin on occasion. Every other day for a girl is disgusting in my opinion and it would have turned me off as well, I been through some rough things with girls who didn't care about hygiene. Same girls will spend an hour plus throwing up cover-up and fixing their hair won't even take a shower and to be honest it just sickens me
 

"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.

^ Exactly, and I don't ask about it with my girls but it's just assumed that a daily shower is taken

My EX-wife was on a "schedule" too. It's strange, she wouldn't shower after mowing the lawn,raking leaves all day etc. Because it wasn't her day to shower. IF its written in stone,next.

Whatever floats your boat.

Napoleon used to write letters to his wife telling her not to shower for a week before he got home, because he liked it that way.
 

"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.

The only people that shower everyday are Americans. So this pretty much limits your choices of women to 1 nationality. You think they shower everyday in china when most people earn like $1 a day? Europeans are known to be hippi-ish when it comes to personal hygiene. South america? Russia? Let us not even mention africa.

Unless i'm going out I shower once every 2 days but i take 40+ minute showers. I do my best thinking in the shower. :cool:

BTW the real red flag is girls that wear the same clothe everyday or close to it. Now those are guaranteed dirty.

Here's a list of countries I've lived in where the vast majority of the population showers every day: Japan, France, Switzerland, and the UK. You obviously need to widen your horizons my friend.
