"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.

A possible flake on POF?

I messaged this girl on POF, just general stuff about her profile and other icebreaking stuff. And she was really responsive, with quick, detailed replies and we seemed to hit it off really well. I was quite surprised because I haven't had much look on POF, with none of the conversations I've had really going anywhere, and that's when the girl's actually replied to me. But this girl is pretty good looking, a 7/10 I'd say.

Then, she asks me what I look for in women, and I tell her that I just like girls who are fairly interesting, so she replies with "I hope you think that I'm interesting." I was like, well she seems quite keen so I took that as my cue to ask her on a date, which she accepted. But I gave her my number, asked for her's and she told me she'd text me "closer to our potential date."

I thought, okay, it'd have been good to move this conversation to texting, but whatever. We continued speaking for a bit more, and she would basically hint that she wanted me to take her back to her place, and saying that she has had sex on the first date before. Basically talking dirty to me, she seemed quite on it.

But then she stopped replying after a while, even though I'd see her online a few times. I sent her a PS message but still no reply, although she had gone offline by then. But later I saw that she was online again, but had deleted all her pictures. Odd behaviour.

I don't even know if she will get in touch with me:D But what do you guys think? And have you had similar experiences on POF?
 

"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.

Women who flake KNOW they're flaking!

I just dropped one yesterday for some bullsh*t excuse she came up with.

What you have is an e-attention wh0re. All talk, no action. If this girl just talks a lot, but doesn't follow through, kick her ass to the curb, no questions asked. As for her calling you, my money is on hell no. Women make time for men they're interested in.

Case closed.

A good reply, but from past experience with women on POF, surely if she wasn't interested then she wouldn't have replied to me and started talking all sexual to me. It's just odd behaviour.

Odd my ass.

AFAIC, women are either one of two things:

1. Interested
2. Not Interested

There is no middle ground. Mixed signals equates to not interested, as well as maybe.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Actually agree with Nismo....


Also I had the mos frustation when dealing with women online, there is a reason they have to resort to online dating and usually it's not a good one

Yeah, I've heard that POF can be a waste of time, and sometimes even detrimental to one's self esteem. I basically signed up because I'm bored of being single and there's no-one I know personally who I'm really interested in, so I thought I'd try that avenue.:D

It's not like I'm heartbroken or anything with this girl, I mean I have zero emotional connection with her and only spoke to her for an hour or so. I'm just trying to figure out her behaviour. A bit odd that she deletes all her pictures.

I also may have my suspicions that it could be a fake account. I dunno, she just seemed a bit too upfront and full on from the reply. Something doesn't add up, although her profile is a bit too specific and particular.

I'd approach scores of women on pof on a daily basis, for sake of argument.

Out of these scores, only a fraction would translate to actual numbers.

Out of those numbers a fraction of that fraction would translate to dates.

Out of those dates only a fraction of that fraction would translate to 'scores'.

So you can see the numbers that are involved with online dating.

If you allow yourself to get hooked on just one particular girl then you are going about it the wrong way.

That's pretty much how it works IRL too come to think of it.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Not interested. Waste of time. Move on.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I spent two nights in a row at a POF girls place last week, adorable girl next door type, IL was off the charts high, called me all the pet names, initiated everything, made statements like "I don't want to mess this up between us".

Then Monday she suddenly stopped replying in the middle of a text conversation (no we didn't over text) and I haven't heard from her since. There's no method to the madness and it's nearly impossible to hold their attention beyond a couple days. It's a window shopping mentality and only the most exquisite product will make them cross the threshold and cash in.
