"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.

My gf broke up with me today. Last week i got her a $1500 Gucci watch for her birthday. Then today she talks about how for the past few months she has not been into me, and that we need time apart because she needs time to think. What kind of crap is this? Should i get back the watch?
 

"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.

Compare your feelings of her to the price and value of that watch.

Me being me? That much? Yes, I'd take it back. Regardless of my feelings of her.

WTF?

You can have a go at Othello's suggestion, but she has every right to keep it.

And read the DJ Bible.

damn, you gotta read the bible dude. NEVER buy a present that expensive, even if you are rich, and you are together for many years!!

well, but read the bible, the point will be that presents dont make any diference in the feelings in a relation, it will only make the girl feel more in control of you.
 

"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.

Yeah, unfortunately a gift is a gift and she 'should' be able to keep it. However it is interesting that she says that things haven't been right for months and you didn't pick up on that. Was the purpose of such a extravagant birthday gift to hopefully make things better?
