"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.

Good link. I broke it off with her moreso than she did me though (I stopped calling her and stuff, told her we shouldn't be together), but most of that still applies. Thanks for posting that.
 

"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.

i just love the idea of my bf asking my dad permission before proposing to me...all the girls there must have been the ones to give you thumbs up!
well, i'm a sucker for tradition, i'm kinda old fashioned when it comes to relationship, i'm 24 and i think it is such a sign of respect to ask the father.
why would the father say no? even if he does, you should marry the girl.i think nowadays it would not be as literally ask the permission but inform the family that you want to marry the daughter.

Decided not to take this girl back. I can do better. I'm not going to keep her around as an F buddy either because just that one time last week was messing me up. I'm surprised as I never thought I would have a problem keeping sex and feeling seperate, but I am.

she told me to keep some stuff of hers there in case she decides to come hang out sometime.
She's marking her territory don't let her!
