"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.

I've had a b0ner for this chick I work with for a year or so. She has a BF and we do light flirting and heavy eye contact. But I have been sticking to my guns on 1) Best not to date chicks from work 2) Not going to go out of my way to steal another man's woman.

She recently told me her last day is middle of May, she is leaving. So that solves #1 for me. As of today I know #2 still holds true because I saw her with her BF. Sometimes he comes and picks her up and comes in and hangs out at the end of the day. I have talked to him. He is kind of geeky but seems like a decent dude. Not the type of guy I would want to steal a woman from just out of respect.

Now the main point of my post: A week or so ago he was standing at the soda machine getting a soda and she was behind him giving him light affection. When she saw me she jumped and stopped. I pretended like I didn't see that. I said "hey whats happininin" to both of them like I always do, acknowledging both of them, and walked on.

Today similar happened again, only this time he and her were talking to my coworker and she had her arm around the BF. When I walked past, she quickly took it off. But obviously it was OK in front of my coworker. So the "she is just being professional at work" does not seem to apply as I originally thought the first time.

SO, could this mean she may be interested in me and doesn't want me to see her touching on her BF? Or am I reading into it too much? (probably lol) I know she has at least a low interest level in me by her eye contact, hair fluttering, etc. I've just never been in this exact scenerio before.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I've had this happen with women pulling away from their husbands too in my presence. It's a weird scenario, and I just feel sorry for the husband is all. Not sure if this has taken place in history like in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s. Of course, I was never of really adulthood or fvcking age as a boy/man until the early nineties so I can' really remember this ever happening much in my 20s, but in my late 30s and early 40s it's happened quite a bit. It could be Current Female. Women today have no guilt, no sense of wrong (unless it's YOU).

It's pretty common for women who r attracted to another man 2 send covert signals that she's open to being seduced.

If I were you, I'd decline based on what you've written abt her bf. She'll be branch swinging soon.

And I think you know the type of lady she is based on ur observations.

Imo a perfect woman is a prostitute in bed and most ladylike in public.

On her last day of work simply hand her your number.

If she hits you up, game on.

And don't worry about her bf. If you take her from him then you're doing him a favor in the long run.

Sounds good.

If OP doesn't know her BF and is able to detached his feelings of guilt later on.

I've oftened look back into my past and reflect on those guys whom I've taken their women away, couldn't shake the guilt especially when some of those men were really good guys and as a result broke them.
 

"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.

If the current BF is a friend of his, then that's a different story and I agree. However, if he doesn't know the BF and she is having a wandering eye or tempted to branch swing, then I see no problem with it.
