"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've been dating this girl for a little more than 2 months. Things were going really well until just a while ago.
She called me at night and said that 'she wasn't sure if everything was right'. I asked her about it, and she said that she still liked me. There was nothing I had done, and she hadn't bothered me.
But she said she just wanted time to think about it, and she wasn't sure about us.

At first I didn't know what to think. But then I remembered that she had told me that none of her relationships had lasted much longer than two months.
I think that she has a problem with commitment to long term relationships. It kind of sounds like it. And I've talked to her friends, who say the same thing.

What should I say to her?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'm sorry that she needs to beat around the bush but I'll have the decency of being honest with you and translate "I need time" for you:

"I need time. Alot of it. Away from you."

You can approach her about her 'problem' or realise that it's not a problem as much as it is a plan to have various dating experiences with different people.
When she told you that, you should have understood that there was an implicit message.

I wouldn't be offended really or search for answers. It's clear that she wasn't looking for anything 'serious' so I hope you wern't too emotionally attached.

Best of luck. Don't linger and develop oneitis please!
