"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.

there are too many variables in life to have a black and white line of "disrespect and i have to go all out" and "**** it i don't care". as stated the girl i first dated an adult stood me up what 2 times.. but she wasn't doing it to be disrestful she was doing it because she was torn between me and the guy she just got out of a 6 year relationship.

and the advice i gave you above, is the exact thing i told her.. look people do what they do, i'm not mad or upset you don't have to apologize, but i am going to give you one more shot, and if you dont' take advantage of it i am done.

there is no need to get cute, no need to come upw ith some super sweet text or anteing, just lay your cards out on the table. she is the one that ****ed up. either she wants to get to know you or she doesn't.

That's pretty much it. Dudes need to relax a bit with that Oh she's "blatantly disrespecting me!" I need to show her I don't tolerate that! nonsense. Some chicks will respond better when you don't respond and or if you do come off as if it's no big deal without actually saying it. Your actions and responses directly effect how she views you handling "flakey" or "rejecting" behavior. (If you make some chick you've met or are after the center of your world and your "plans" you'll most likely be disappointed. After all...who is she anyway?)

If a chick strings you along you just drop her and the whole thing period. If she comes around in the future? You shouldn't care as you have your own life like she should as well. That may even bring up her interest level as she wasn't as "in demand" to you as she thought she was.

It's like these chicks think if a dude reacts in a defensive or offensive manner to her flaking EVEN IF she's the one to blame "Oh this guy is EFFECTED by it." I'll either string him along or not bother anymore as he'll cause "problems" in my life.

With chicks like that you completely remain uneffected and act as if that crap she pulls never happened. (Get's their mind in WTF mode and why you aren't falling for their "test" and you may just see them slowly start chasing you.)
 

"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.

I really hate to beat a dead horse, especially with you because you have solid game and give good advice, but OP, you're married with what, 2 kids?

Don't you think you have more important things to worry about than if this skank fawks with you or not? Just stop cheating or get divorced brah, for the sake of your kids.

OP, if you guys had organised to meet up, why would losing her phone prevent her from still turning up at the agreed place and time?
She knew the time and place, she still could've turned up and told you the phone story face to face. What a great conversation starter!
This was a stone cold flake. Treat her as such.

Listen. I have my reasons for doing what I am doing. I work hard, my wife stays home. Its not 1950 anymore. Gas isn't 25 cents. A loaf of bread isn't 10 cents. I am tired of having the weight of the world on my shoulders financially. I have tried to start multiple conversations regarding her getting a job to help out, those conversations end up going nowhere or having the subject changed.

Divorce is not an option. That would be way too expensive. Like $900 a month expensive. If/when she gets a job I will llikely stop all of this. Until then she does what she wants, so I will do what I want. I know its two different levels of disrespect, but its disrespect all the same.

Oh I already know its BS, that isn't even the issue.

I messaged her what backbreaker said, just because I really don't give a fvck how it turns out and here is the convo from there:

Her: Uh oh Mr. Bossy I would have you come over but I have people at my house

Her: And what do u want me to cook?

Me: Surprise Me

No response, number deleted. Fvck her.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
