"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'll be finished with my freshman year in college in a week or two. However, this summer I was planning on getting an internship, but was rejected from every single letter of response so far. I have to take a summer class because I dropped a class this past semester since I was almost failing it, and I'll be also looking for a part time job. But I'll be in town most of the summer and was wondering what are some neat things to do. I definitely plan on playing basketball, golf, tennis with my friends. I also plan on going to dance clubs, ball games, and what not if I can get people to join me. Anything else to spend the summer doing?

A few friends of mine are planning on taking a 10 day east coast road trip over the summer as well. Do you have any suggestions of some cool things to do on a road trip with just guy friends?(since I've never been on one without my family before)

Also, when I see my high school friends over the summer what is the best way to make a good impression on them and be more outgoing around them, instead of how I was pre-college. I want to show all of them how I've changed, but I'm afraid when I interact with them I'll fall back to my old patterns and be very unsociable.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It sounds like you are simply looking for affirmations from people, something to stroke your ego and make you feel secure and accepted. I would suggest going to a boot camp over summer, if there is such a thing for free, or joining boy scounts or some organization where you can be trained. You have a long way of working on yourself, no need to wait for summer for that, start now. You can have a fresh perspective in a month, perhaps.
