"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.

Been dating this girl for awhile and yesterday, she wanted an exclusive relationship. I told her that it was worth a try.

We did some chatting on the phone and i asked her what was the thing that she fears most when opening her heart to a guy? She mentioned that it was the fact that she might not be able to reciprocate his efforts and feelings. Makes sense?

Upon further probing, She said that she had a very bad relationship in the past (Come on, who hasnt) and she's scared. She said that her relationship comes only after her family, job and friends. Shes better off keeping a pet i think.

After hearing all these, i told her that it wont be fair to me to be involved with someone with such an attitude towards relationships. I cant be the only always gving. I'll be emotionally drained.

Finally i told her that its best to just remain as friends to save us both the unecessary heart and headache in the future.

Did i do the right thing or shld i give it a chance?
 

"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.

I'm kinda jealous... since you even initiated the "friends" deal. When a girl did that to me, I couldnt take it. I was frustrated and heartbroken.

I would jump into the relationship if she SERIOUSLY wants it.

Never get into a 'relationship' where you like a girl more than she likes you! She'll tiurn you into a chunp, if you aren't already one.

You did the right thing. In fact if more guys around her did what you have done, the AFC population would finally start to decrease a bit. Now get out there and find someone else.

Thank you all for your kind words and support.

I think i deserve much more than just someone who doesnt even know what she can give to a relationship.

I can tell when a girl is really into me and the bond between us. And i dont see much action from this one.

I guess its back to the same drawing board.
 

“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.

I think you deserve better too, you made the right choice. Keep her as a pal since she's obviously not ready for a relationship. Good luck!

you made the right choice man.

I got with this chick who was really hot, and all over me when we were together :D, but only had time to see me every 2 weeks :rolleyes:

I knew she wasn't cheatin or anything like that, cos I know her too well, but she wasn't givin me as much attention as I was givin her.

So we finished - its never worth the frustration...

Screw that, man, you made the right choice. If her job and friends come before the relationship then thats crap. Only thing that should come before a relationship is God and maybe immediate family (I'm talking marriage relationship here).

Girls like these are nothing but trouble. I dated one several months ago. Told me all sorts of sh!t about her bad relationships and just wanted a caring man to share her life with. She manipulated me into an AFC then canned me. Come to find out she's just a slut who probably says this to all guys to get what she wants.

Don't settle for 4th place in her life. She'll give all her affection to her family/friends and leave nothing for you.

... say... this sounds familiar.

"I will only have sex in marriage"

She manipulated me into an AFC
Ok... I'm a newbie here... What do you mean by "afc"? "A f*ckin chicken?" :D
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
