"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.

The girl I'm dating has severe depression...

"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.

Sounds like you have made a decision. I jsut came out of a 2 year relationship with a girl with depression. She is a nice, smart and good looking girl but after she went off zoloft she was irritable all the time. In the end, it just wasn't worth it. Good chance girls with depression with have severe post natal depression

I dated someone with depression and mental problems. Everything seemed normal - if you were not paying attention. But in the end, it was too much maintenance, too much care and patience required. You really have to love someone to stick around. I'm a bit selfish right now and need to worry about my own problems and challenges, so I broke that one off.

Back burner? I'd recommend moving on.

if you're interested to know how to avoid and spot chicks with mental problems, watch the episode of 'the mighty boosh' series 3 featuring the 'strange tail of the crack fox'. that's what a mental chick's like.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

My interest level in her has dropped to negative numbers, I only make contact for support, since I've been in a similar situation I try to help the way I can without putting myself in the line of fire....
