"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.

Hello...

I've just got got back in the game a few months ago after a looooooooong relationship.

I hit on a barmaid every night, its become a running joke. But has a high rate of success, so i hit on a barmaid thats hooooooot as **** one saturday in a busy nightclub, i hand her my phone, she puts her number in it and rings herself on it, i smile at her and walk away.

I txt her the next day (she to txt her about a party or something) and she doesnt reply. a day later she txt saying her phones playing up and asked how i was, i reply, no reply... for like 4 days. I **** up and txt her again asking her if shes on facebook (this is a mistake- i know im not suposed to txt twice without reply). she replys saying 'who is this? ive lost all my numbers?'

I see her a work the following sat, shes really not very chatty and kinda walks away from me, i shrug and continue my night. I txt her saying 'hey, just tell me to back off, no need to blank me, have a good night' (which i regret the next morning) i delete her from facebook as a lost cause.

she sends me a message 4 days later saying 'hey dont have your number, replaced my phone again! sorry ive been really antisocial with everyone this last week. had a big project in for uni so been really busy, got it in this morning, hope your well, x"

I reply, saying 'jesus woman how many phones do you go through?" a bit vauge but i didn't wana be like 'ok cool, wana go out now?' 2 days later no reply.

Is she psycho? nexted or what? kinda dont wana waste it cus shes a good 9. im kinda stuck at how to handle the situation. Any advice apreciated.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Shes hot ...she used you for ego. She has like 20 other guys in her arsernal. Plus she gets hit on every work day. Forget her and move on. Those chicks are only attracted to the badboys. those who spin plates and have so many girls in their life they dont even notice when a plate suddenly dissapear.

Dudes hitting on bartenders/barmaids *sigh*

I txt her the next day (she to txt her about a party or something) and she doesnt reply.
You and the other 6 dudes that she gave her phone number to.

a day later she txt saying her phones playing up and asked how i was, i reply, no reply...
Her phone was acting up??? Right here I would have just groaned and probably deleted her number. A woman's phone is her lifeline. There is NO way her phone was acting up. What, she got a text the whole day after? She really didn't care to know how you were... she just wanted to see if she could string you along at this point.


for like 4 days. I **** up and txt her again asking her if shes on facebook (this is a mistake- i know im not suposed to txt twice without reply). she replys saying 'who is this? ive lost all my numbers?'
OUCH.

BTW, you do know she deleted your number... she didn't lose any numbers.

I see her a work the following sat
Mistake... I bet you went there to see her and not to drink.

shes really not very chatty and kinda walks away from me, i shrug and continue my night.
Double OUCH.
That should have been enough at this point. You should have gone to another bar.

I txt her saying 'hey, just tell me to back off, no need to blank me, have a good night' (which i regret the next morning) i delete her from facebook as a lost cause.
Worst text ever... AFC-ish.

she sends me a message 4 days later saying 'hey dont have your number, replaced my phone again! sorry ive been really antisocial with everyone this last week. had a big project in for uni so been really busy, got it in this morning, hope your well, x"
Wait, was this message by Facebook???

I reply, saying 'jesus woman how many phones do you go through?" a bit vauge but i didn't wana be like 'ok cool, wana go out now?' 2 days later no reply.
After ALL of that... you actually replied to her???
You just validated her ego. She can string along a man JUST like that at a drop of a hat.

Is she psycho? nexted or what? kinda dont wana waste it cus shes a good 9. im kinda stuck at how to handle the situation. Any advice apreciated.
Waste what? There's nothing there.
She's not psycho, she's looking for tips. She's smart. Savvy.
She played you.

You can't next her, she already nexted you.

You DON'T handle this situation, you move on. And PLEASE, go to another bar from now on... and this "running joke" of yours... STOP IT.
Hitting on a barmaid is NOT a challenge. Of COURSE they are going to flirt back, they want your money. Start flirting with girls that are AT the bars, spending money.

ha, good thats all i wanted to know. i left out that she sat on my lap and kissed me a few times after her shift when i was hanging out with the manager (a mate from university) and kept brining me beers after it shut. (i dont know how i left that out) so it wasnt just a case of getting a girls number behind the bar. - im sure there WAS attraction there.

but yeah she played me, good on her.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
