"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.

so ive been dating this chick for a couple weeks, ive got some other plates but me n her started with a long history of friends so shes more then just a thing...

anyways, ive had to re-evaluate my attachment to her so i decided on wed that i would be more busy....

she went on a flight to visit family on monday, i met her to say gbye blah blah....anyways on thursday she sends me a series of texts that I DID NOT respond to...because I was honestly just really busy for thanksgiivng....

Text1: Hey you, have a happy thanksgiving! (Mass text?) (12pm)
Text 2: i hope your having a good time cant wait to see you! (4pm)
Text3: Babe? (10:00pm)
Text4: you make me feel silly for missing you (11:30pm)

ME: Phone call next day 9AM: voicemail, no returned call.


So I called her this morning when I woke up since i crashed at about 10:30...(lots of drinks).... anyways no reply all day and my afc butterflies have been begging for me to call/text her again.....but my man side says...wtf this girl is pissed off at me for stupid texting...call me if u really miss me stupid.....

anyways...any thoughts? In retrospect I should have just replied with u2 or smileys or something during thanksgiving but i just wasn't feeling replying at the time...

im just sick of games, drama, this girl is really cool but arg.
 

"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.

Guys get confused about this. They pretend to be so busy and believe "no response" to a girl who shows interest and likes them is the manly, challenging thing to do and it will turn her on more. IT WON'T. The trick is to know WHEN to respond and HOW to respond to her. By ignoring a girl you like and want to have a relationship with and have sex with, you are not turning her on by ignoring her, you are telling her "you are nothing to me" and "you can't count on me to be there for you". Now if you want to be one and done with her but she won't have sex with you, then you can choose not to respond.

But if you like her, you have to respond ACCORDINGLY.

good points...i just got lazy and not replying could only fuel the fire. ignoring the first text was ok but after it became customized i was just being a ****. she ended up contacting me on gchat and instead of chatting there i hit her up by phone (20 min ago)

Phone summary:
i basically and undefensively told her that my day was crazy and that their was relative drinking and catching up to do so i missed her text, and then i passed out early so i missed the last 2.

i was like so what was up with the texts i feel bad for making u feel silly and shes like its ok i just felt silly at the time thats all. (there is some preccedence for this because she has said over the phone before that she missed me and how corny that sounds, and i usually just reply awww or well lets hang out!)


then we caught up on the trips and made plans for sunday blah.
i guess i got high road status and was like...come on just call me...but i got to realize what im dealing with...chicks who most seem to be afraid to initiate any phone calls ( i have another girl who wont call me admittedly becuz she is too scared lol)...but then now im trying to delegate blame off me...

so i guess to improve upon myself for next time...im assuming not replying to text 1 is ok for most dj ppl....but whats some responses for "i cant wait to see you" type texts, cuz i dont want to gush...my response was going to be just a smiley... thoughts?

i want to see a dj do it accordingly, give some examples if it were ur situation...

Don't complain about games when you're playing them too.
I hate seeing posts where guys complain about girls playing games but they are okay with doing it themselves.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but anyone that took 3 seconds to text "Happy Thanksgiving" to me (even if it's in mass texting), I'd have the common courtesy to at least text back saying the same. It just takes 3 seconds, and there's no real overthinking to it.

What would it had cost you?

Now you're just overthinking because you didn't text her right away and now that you called and she isn't answering... you are going nuts.

Next time, don't think. Just act. Make mistakes, but don't sit here and tell us that you hate games and then play the "I'm going to act busy" game.

This is the wrong place to ask this question, unless you want a feminist point of view from softened shemales.

Because everyone here knows you should reply within 2 minutes and tell her you lover her or else she will leave you and lose interest.
 

"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.
