"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.

Just a thought here ... maybe some opinions would help me out.

I understand the purpose of the 2 strike rule, and I understand there are exceptions because she might actually be busy and not flaking. How about a situation where you've been hooking up for months ... over 6. How does the rule go then?

Like for example if I propose a day, she is busy the entire holiday etc. Do girls really clear their schedule for guys if their IL is high? I wouldn't clear mine for a 10 because it's a matter of principle: she can wait. Maybe it's the same, I don't know. I just don't know how far to push it before I consider it flaking, because I took her virginity two months ago and to my knowledge she hasn't since with anyone else. Yeah ...
 

"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.

When it comes to your case you already been hooking up for months and the 2 strikes rule doesn't really apply (it's for the first stage of relationships). HOWEVER, you could use it to keep yourself in check in terms of keeping yourself from being toyed around by women.

For example if she just keeps flaking, ignoring your calls etc you could say "alright i'm going to apply the 2 strikes rule starting on thursday when I ask her out to go to the movies on the weekend."

If she gets strike 1 by flaking on you then follow the procedure. You make another attempt when you feel like it and if she strikes out again you say "ok 2 strikes i'm letting this b|tch cool off for a while" and start focusing on other women. You don't call her anymore, text her, give her the NC treatment for a bit, you let her re-initiate contact and you accept on your terms.

That's what the 2 strike rule does it keeps you from being toyed around with and ending up like countless guys that keep on chasing women for weeks and even months that lost interest. It's much better to use the 2 strikes rule than to keep focusing your energy on a b|tch that has gone cold on you. It's a good reminder that "ok this girl got 2 strikes already I should focus my energy on other girls for now" or else who knows when you'll stop (and how much time you'll waste).
