"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.

There's this one girl who I've been talking to for about a month now. We weren't official yet but we were getting there. We held hands, kissed, you know all that stuff. Now here comes the problems. At first it was her friend who had told her that I cheated on her back in middle school and I wouldn't be a good boyfriend. It was years ago, but I didn't even do anything with the other girl, but we blew by that. After that, it was when another girl said that she should "watch out" for me because of one of my previous relationships. Mind you, these girls talking about me aren't even close to me anymore, but there fast to talk about me. Anyway, we blew by that to. But today, **** dropped. She wasn't replying to me, just straight ignoring me. At the end of the day she sent me something talking about " I don't know who's lying". I'm like what the ****? She refuses to tell me what's wrong, other than somebody's lying about something. I've never even lied to her, but we just ended things between us a few hours ago. I don't know what I should do.
I need advice.
 

"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.

Woah...I felt slight tinges of dejavu there, if you read my journal, I encountered this situation with a girl named Eyez. A grd 8 chick told her that I was getting it on with her friend, when in reality all I ever did to that girl was greeting her. Like your girl, she changed, was moody all the damn time and I just couldn't stand it. So I dumped her and never looked back, I didn't even try to justify myself because I was innocent, my pride wouldn't let me.

So, its been months now, and she has learned the truth I think, because she keeps trying to establish contact, I'm aloof though, and I've moved on so I don't pay her any attention despite her subtle efforts.

So, leave her man. If it was meant to be! She will come back, if not...well.
