Has a female ever told you... Sometimes you can't always act on feelings you gotta think about the other people that are also involved...
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
what???

"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.
Maybe not those exact words. Perhaps something like "Hey that looks like a nice place to stop." Dirty looks as I drive on past.
Since when have women not acted on feelings? After a crash course in Vulcan logic? I suppose you are going to tell us all here in this "mature" man's forum that she was trying to tell you that she is horny for you but has to think about someone else she is also feeling horny towards. Her statement I am afraid, is quite illogical in any event. We can't act on feelings because of our feelings about other people who are involved. See my point?

Gee, I don't know dude. Are you a Jesus man? Or are you a no man? What would you like done to you. The way i see it, if a chick is involved, back off.

Oh yeah, and stop reading Bukowski. Try the King James Bible.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

you would think that at 27 you would already know you shouldnt act on every feeling anyhow.
if you feel its big enough to act on, then it probally is.
which makes you wonder why she doesnt want you to act on it, and there is no story to help us identify what is going on to give you any advise worth taking.
go with your gut.
