"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.

Today, I discovered that a girl that I was gaming on Match works in the same building as I do. I was scared ****less and didnt know how to act. Fortunately, I only saw her at a distance so I dont think she saw me also. Unfortunately, things are not so great between me and her as she hadnt been replying to my emails for 2 weeks now. So, I am not sure what she would make of it if I suddenly appeared in front of her face. The chances of us running into each other again is high as we share the hallways and cafeteria of our building. I need help badly in this, how can I make the interaction less awkward?
 

"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.

Try to get the e-mail conversation going again. Casually bring up that you're stressed out at work, mention the place where you work at. if that's the chick she'll say "Hey I work there too!". It might work in your favor since chicks love signs of "fate." Say you should meet up from lunch and take it from there.

I would have done exactly what you said but its more complicated than this. This is actually my 2nd sighting of her. I once spotted her at the supermarket and called her on it in an email. Unfortunately, it didnt lead us to arranging any meeting after that. We fluffed bit by bit and ultimately she stopped responding. The mere mention that I saw her again at work will make me seem like I am stalking her.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So I mustered up some courage to call her on working in the same building as me to which she responded and I suggested we meet up for lunch someday. Here's what she responded:

"That sounds good. Maybe next week - I have a full schedule and I'm taking a long weekend - I'll email you next week. Have a great weekend! Any big plans? Same old for me...heading to the [family town] in a bit.

See you soon!!
[HBMatch]"

Obviously, this came out on Friday. I need your help guys, do you think I should respond to this or wait for her confirmation? and yes I need some pointers on how to act when we meet because I never done this before ie meet a girl I met online in real life for the first time.

Just send a quick response to tell her "looks like a plan, enjoy the weekend," and wait for her email.

If I were to run into an online prospect in real life, I'd probably say something like "Ha! If it isn't (start to say screen name) ... ahem ... (real name)," and have a little chat with her.

Finding someone you recognize from real life on a dating site is a different thing. I've found it's best to just "gather intelligence," so to speak, from their profile, and leave the contact to real life.

That email is golden. She fvcking bored in her life: "Any big plans?" "Same old for me".

When you go to the lunch, propose something fun. It could even be something fun you're doing with your friends. Don't go crazy, no airballoon rides, or trips to fvcking mars. Something simple but fun.

My gut tells me that she isn't interested. I don't know why you didn't approach her when you saw her, it was a perfect situation to start a conversation with her. There's the chance that she thought it was a little creepy that you recognized her in public, didn't say anything to her and decided to "call her on it" via email.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Maybe Obsidian is right cuz 5 days have passed and havent heard back from her. I know its silly to think so but could it be that I should have replied to that mail? i realize I am banging my head against the wall with this one, its just that i cant get myself to get interested in other women be it match or even real life.
