"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.

Suppose you were not being ambitious and living up to your potential, procrastinating with important things. So she left you and eventually cuts you off for someone else or to move on easier. You get things going for yourself (not for her) and are doing well 1-3 years later and you're both single. She wants to give it another chance now.

Too late for her because she didn't have faith to stand by you until you took more action to get things going so she shouldnt be allowed to reap the benefits?
Or understand that she had to do what was best for herself out of self respect, and give it another chance?
 

"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.

She was probably the reason you lacked ambition and weren't living up to your potential in the first place.

Why go back to that?

If (when) you take her back, she will once again reduce you to a bumbling AFC loser and leave you for a second time. This situation normally works itself out naturally. Everybody here knows you are going to take her back, so it's sort of a moot point.

The best advice IMO would be to f*ck her, nut all over her face, then get up and walk out.

ETA: WOW, just a quick cursory look into vinkoch's posting history brings up some pretty telling red flags:

1 - He's married but has 2 girlfriends
2 - This particular chick has thrown him for a loop since July
3 - She's a farter

Divorced by my choice. Thanks. Not taking anybody back. Nobody has asked to be taken back other than my ex wife just before the divorce. Neither have I not been ambitious. Just a question I thought was interesting for the board because I watched a movie with this scenario. The farter is not my girlfriend, not my ex, and not the person in question.

But thanks for throwing in your two cents and letting the board know you're an expert on my life.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

Yes, you go back to her. If you want to.

She left because she saw you as a man who lacked ambition.

Why would any woman stick around?

Don't blame her for leaving.
Exactly.. If you can't keep your shyt together how can you expect to keep a woman?

That may be true, but even then..you don't take her back and you find another girl. She already saw the sh!t side of you and she'll never forget it.
