"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.

So...I accidentally flaked....

So I had a breakfast appointment with a girl this morning. In hindsight, this was pretty dumb, as I rarely eat breakfast because I get up so late (11pm or so).

Anyway, I stayed up until 7am goofing off with some friends, and we were gonna meet at the dining hall at 9:30. Predictably, I didn't get up in time >_>

I sent her a few texts asking to reschedule later that day, and another couple later + called her phone, but no response at all (maybe overkill on the reparations/apology front). I kinda feel like a ****; I've been flaked on/stood up, and it doesn't feel good. Doing it to someone else really drove this home for me, I feel pretty bad >_>.

We were kind of friends/acquaintances (somewhere in between), and it's not as though she was my dream girl or I was insanely attracted to her (which, in self-reflection, is probably why I couldn't get up. Reverse Brad-Pitt test - if I had a date with Megan Fox/Emma Watson, would I have overslept? Hell no), but it still hurts.

Crap I feel like an *******...any advice or anything guys?
 

"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.

Best thing you could do imo was send her ONE text:

I'm really sorry I let you down, I still want to meetup with you though, but I'd understand if you don't.

1) Don't do breakfast dates, WTF.
2) Send her one text.
3) Don't feel so guilty it happens. I've flaked on girls and if they into you enough they do sometimes reschedule.
