"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.

so there is this girl ive been kind of on and off with but rite now we just chatting and stuff but about three weeks ago i went completely NC on her for no reason but mostly because I didn't want to seem too available plus i needed time to concentrate more important stuff. i stopped returning her calls, txts etc.

With the app I use for txts "whatsapp" you get to see the last time your partner was online so you know for certain if they read your msg. After trying to reach out for a while she gets frustrated and asks "do you know what it means when someone ignores your txts". I ignore that txt as well though from my time stamp on the app its obvious i have received and read it.

I broke NC about two week ago, didnt offer her a reason for NC and rather clowned her for that last txt she sent. Things returned to normal between us until a week ago when she went NC on me :box: she hasnt returned any of my txt. though to be fair i sent just two. the first was a simple hi, after she didnt answer for two days i knew something was up.lol. the second was sent just yesterday, also no reply but i know she has received both txts.

i want to know what to do now, any advice on the way forward because its getting really frustrating.
i have stopped myself from calling her because if she chooses to ignore my calls as well that would be the ultimate L.

TL;DR: I go NC on girl, now girl goes NC on me
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Oh! that's very important info to know. The NC is your call, since it's normally on and off she will probably break the NC if you keep it up. If not... whatever.
