"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.

Should I tell my gf if she does something that bothers me?

I'm not sure on whats the right move or thing to do. My girlfriend did something that I didn't like and I'm kind of mad over it. The thing is that if I show my face and let her know she made me mad that could be a manly thing to do, because I told it straight to her face. Or I can not tell her and act like it never bothered me in the first place and if what she did was intentional she would wonder why I didn't flinch.

So I don't know what the right thing to do is?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hell no.You better communicate your boundaries, or one thing will lead to the next and you'll end up getting walked all over.

Depends what she did.

If you are being petty or insecure; no.

If she's really stepped out of line; of course!

When my girls do something ****ty to get a reaction out of me I try to throw it back in their face. For example if I'm out with one of my FBs and they flirt with another guy I'll just give em the finger from across the room with a cheeky smile on my face and hit on some other girls.

"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.

Yeah

Its probably insecurity inside me thats speaking. I get the feeling that, thats what it is.

She didn't do anything to step the boundaries or disrespect me in anyway when I look at it from a better perspective.

So I guess its good I took some time to cool down otherwise I would have made an ass out of myself.

Unless you are overreacting to something minuscule, then you just sound petty.
