"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.

Started a new class two weeks ago on Tuesday.

Met a girl. Flirted with her during the downtime. We exchanged numbers. She texted me first just to BS. I called a few days later to ask her out. She seemed excited (called me "sweetie" on the phone) but was having a medical procedure done so she was going to be home for the next few days and she couldn't go out.

Tonight in class she was on crutches. I neg'd her a little and then said that I was going to get some coffee on campus and that she should come. She said that her leg hurt and that she needed to get home but thanks for asking.

That's normally my two strikes, but I figured maybe this is special circumstance.

So I just text her a few days later and found out she has a BF.

I'm thinking of nexting (bc of boyfriend) but I will have to see her for the next 12 weeks in this class.

1. Should I straight out ignore this chick or just talk if she initiates?

2. Why the F would she wait that long to tell me she has a serious BF? If I had a serious GF I wouldn't even give my number out, let alone talk to some strange chick on the phone - and if she asked me out on the phone I would tell her THEN. Not the THIRD TIME I asked her.

MY UPDATE: Yes I agree with all below - two rejections plus BF = next!

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Honestly if I were you I'd keep her as a friend. I don't understand why people on this website are so all about "nexting" a girl because she's not interested in a relationship. Girls have lots of girl friends who you can meet! Having friends who are girls is so beneficial for meeting women you actually DO have a shot with. Unless you genuinely dislike something about her I don't see why not keep her as a friend. As long as you can recognize that nothing is going to happen between you two, I feel like remaining friends can only be a good thing.
 

"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.

Most guys only have true friendships with girls they have f u cked.

OP cannot have this girl as a real friend. Find another girl to spend ur time on.
