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.
The thing to remember is that her answer was an attempt to put you on the defense of reacting to her question which really meant "Ask me something interesting if you can..." Classic sh1t test from a woman who is use to having guys react to them. I say that if she wants to play that game, up the ante without playing highschool-like games; be specific. Don't ask me openly what I'd like to know because honey, I ask!Kingpin SkinnyPimp said:
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Were you hoping that it would blossom into a 20 page thread again like your old ones?Kingpin SkinnyPimp said:

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

When are you guys going to realize that the majority of the time when a woman sends you a text is when she's bored and feels that she can put forth a half-assed effort to get some immediate attention. She needs an attention fix and what's an easier way to get it than sending out a text to two or three guys at once? I'm telling you, there will always be a guy ready to answer with a diatribe of interesting things. Then all of a sudden, something else gains the woman's attention and you don't hear anything from her until the next time she's bored? Don't believe me? Why do they always text you with "What are you doing?" and nothing else? If they insist on texting (and you insist on replying) at least make them make an effort to say something worthwhile.My Name is Nobody said:
