"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.

Why and how does withdrawing attention work?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

It sends her self hamstering into overdrive. Was I not good enough for him? Is he seeing someone else? etc.
As Soflobro#2 said if her interest is there, it makes her work harder…

But how does it increase interest?
I kinda get it...like a little kid, hiding things makes them curious. But surely a grown woman with a job and bills, etc ...has to be differently affected.
How and why would not talking to her make her want more?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Not necessarily, even an adult can really like a car on the dealer lot, but puts off the buy decision. The only one he/she really likes/loves that’s there. Then one day it’s gone. Loaned out as a demo. Then said person hounds the dealer for a sale to get it for their very own.
High interest level and perceived loss of availability creates action…but if the interest level wasn’t high enough, there’s always another car.

It's one of the first pieces of advice I was given when I took the initiative to learn this stuff.

Guys (not DJ's of course ;) ) get paranoid when a girl that seemingly liked them at first takes a while to text/ignores them/seems to talk less to them than before.

Now just imagine how a girl that likes a guy would feel if he did that to her (notice how the other posters said she has to be interested in you for this to work). She's going to want him even more because he's in her mind a lot more since she's wondering so much about what's going on and I believe that there is extreme satisfaction for her when she finally gets that attention after a while of not getting it. It's like a drug.

People want what they can't have

The 2 things that make this work are:
1. The one who cares the least wins.
2. We want what we think we can't have.

This "tactic" works awesomely it has garnered the most women for me than any other piece of advice. If I see a hot chick I scan really quickly if she catches me I give her the "you're attractive" vibe casually roll my eyes away and get on to personal business of enjoying myself

If you are in the same area as this particular woman, lets say a bar you can focus on the beer or what is on the TV, look confident, relaxed and satisfied. When you walk past the woman and she notices, she gives off subconscious IOUs, they you inherently feel and see. Give her a quick natural glance and smile, move on sit back down. At this point the energy is building up. You can move around her perhaps a pool table or she will make her way near you. Then you can start gaming
