"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.

Whats wrong with me?

I am 21, male, on a big college campus in Texas. Last week I approached a girl at the pool, got her #. Called her up a few days ago, we did dinner. She was amazing, very unique interests, great conversationalists, beautiful face/figure. We went back to my place and watched a movie/made out. I called her two days later to check up on her and she seemed happy to hear from me and was down to hang out later that week. I called three days later and left an aggressive voicemail saying something like "you are mine on saturday night" etc in order to setup something for the weekend, I told her to call me back. No call back, no nothing, been almost two days.

I have a hunch she had an existing relation with someone from her hometown in Ohio because she had two missed calls from this dude during our outing. (I know bc she left her phone at my place and I had to return it to her later). Or maybe I was just too aggressive. She mentioned her and this high school boyfriend had tried to do the long distance thing many times. But I am not sure if they were still going at it. Regardless, I saw her at the pool again today, and avoided her as we walked by another.

This girl is done, but more importantly I've been feeling pretty ****ty. I don't know how to describe it. I've only known her for a week. Why do I feel like I have such an emotional investment in her? Just reviewing this post makes me feel sick. I am good looking, fit, smart, wealthy; why I am so soft on the inside?

The same thing happened last year, dated a girl for two weeks, she left after I igonored her a lil bit too much; and I was feeling down for a solid month.
 

"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.

How many girls are you dating at the moment? If you're getting this hung up on someone you've only known for a week, you may have some mild oneitis. If that's the case , sounds like you need to spin more plates.

Another possibility is that you don't have total control over your emotional responses. In other words, you invest too much too soon, like you said. Again, if this is the case, I think your solution is to spin more plates.

Let me know if this hits the mark, or give some more details if not.

By the way, as far as the girl goes, it's tough to call. She could just be uninterested, or she could be playing games, or she could be very traditional in that she doesn't call back. Obviously you hope for the third, but no telling.

Agree, spin more plates. Get a few girls to talk to so you're not so interested in her. And stop putting her on a pedestal. It's been a week.

On aggressive moves: IMO, best not done over voice mail, text, etc. You can't gauge her reaction to make sure she took it properly, and there is obviously no way for you to "recover" if she does.

So you haven't heard from her in "almost" 2 days? Dude, this is so not DJ it's not even funny. You're still in this, but if you don't get a hold of yourself, you're going to totally screw it up. Get a grip, first and foremost.

I am currently just pursuing her at the moment. You are right, I invest too much too fast. I think you are right when you say that I need to just approach more women. But are there also guys who pursue minimal women but still don't get hung up? Is the only way to prevent this **** feeling to overwhelm the odds with high qtys?

I don't think I have put her on a pedastal. I have only called her three times in week duration. Maybe she wanted me to contact her daily or something? I also know that she does call back, because she immediatly called back when I contacted her after 2 days after our date.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
