"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.

Do any of you see a difference between:

"I love you"

and

"Love you"

Do you think " I love you" has more meaning than "Love you"?

Would it bother you if your girlfriend mostly said "Love you", as opposed to "I love you"? Would it be of any concern to you?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I agree with Omni. "Love you" or "Love ya" is less serious than "I love you", so be suspicious. I would go farther and make her say it first, then say the even less serious, "Me too".

Just as I said, things are too overly-analyzed around here. Most people don't even think about this stuff. I would be more concerned if she just said "me too" after you say it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You should give her one "I love you" for every 10-20 she gives you anyway. If she says "love you" I'd stretch it to 30. SHE should be wondering if you love her as much as she loves you - NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!!

You're sounding a bit AFC, bro. No flame :)

If she's consistently avoiding saying the actual, total expected phrase, I smell a game being played

i agree with Omni too

is she at least saying the whole phrase while you are making love ?
