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.
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.

Here's an idea: Let's have a "What Does AFC Stand For?" forum.
Actually, stop acting like a drama queen and do a little exploring on this website....there is a compiled list of posts conveniently titled the Don Juan Bible. Sosuave DOES have an entire website outside this forum, on which there are MANY different sections filled with different tidbits and advice. There is even a search function for you to look for posts that might not be on the main website or in the DJ Bible.Originally posted by DragonChi

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Gosh it's only your second post and you are already flaming people.Originally posted by DragonChi

You are right there is no point in saying anything if you are not willing to do the work before trying to put your two cents into what should be done here.
