You think so? Let me be more specific, let's say your faculty at the university. I really think reputation matters a lot
"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.
What do you do when a girl you like is not physically available

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I think it's better to know where you stand. Find out quickly and then move on, rather than spending a lot of time being tentative. If you're uncertain, you'll end up behaving differently and people will pick up on it which could be even worse for your reputation.
Hmm, makes sense. Thanks
Yes.
A girl I knew from school texted me yesterday after 5 months (we used to text quite often when the pandemic started but I just stopped) asking how I was and it's been a long time.
I told her I'm fine asked how she was too. Then I asked her out when school resumes(January). She said yes. I guess I'll hit her up around then unless she texts me again
