what do you mean?
"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.
After 3 months shes gone cold
- Thread starter wonderer
- Start date
"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.
agreed. 3 dates.. no sex.. im out.

She's spinning plates.... Enjoying different ****....
While you sit at home pining over her she is out living life.
Sounds like old times alright.

It's around the time where she makes the decision if this is something that is going to work long term. If not then they usually cut bait because they don't want to become emotionally involved past that point.
It's hard to always know why it is, or what she was looking for, but in some way, you weren't it.
No reason to beat yourself up over it, it happens. Maybe she wanted more commitment from you, more security from you, more lifestyle from you, etc...she might have mentioned something in passing a few times, which is how they usually bring it up, but sometimes not...either way it's better to simply shrug your shoulders and find someone else.

6th day of NC. I am beating myself up about everything, it is my fault that this didnt work out, what I am beating myself up most about is that I didnt sleep with her.
I have a date tonight and another date with someone else on Monday.
