"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.

Okay, so here's the deal. I came down to Boca Raton to see some friends and we went out with like 7 HB9s. There was this one that nobody had f*cked yet so I made her top priority. But here's the thing -

I hadn't slept much the night before and so instead of coming off as ****y/funny/assholish, I came off as just plain mean. Here's an example:

This girl is drinking wine through a straw and how could I not bust on someone for this?


Me: You're drinking wine through a straw?
Her: Yeah, it's cool, huh -
Me: (looking her in the eyes, with a totally straight face) No - it isn't.


So apparently that offended her. I don't blame her. It was just straight up mean. What I should have said is "Well, you know - I just would have taken you for the kind of girl who had a little class...that's all."

Her other friend came up and said I offended the chick. I played it off like I didn't care and she was just being too sensitive but I don't know how I can turn this back around.

So I talked to her a bit over the course of the night, but I think I just came off as a jerk last night.

I think it might be cool because at least I can "let her in" or something.

But if anybody has any ideas on how to turn this back around in my favour, let me know. I'm a little overwhealmed down here.

Well, at least you didn't say she looked like a man.

Just do what you'd usually do.

You could have said something else, but she also could have said somethnig like "are you serious" and laughed it off, she didn't. You don't want to mess with a girl who is:

-too damn sensitive
-can't take a joke
-doesn't understand sarcasm
-easily offended

Besides, you don't need to turn it around, she might even like you more for it. If she sees you being "friendly" to other people with some good social proof, she'll warm up.

I have had this happen to me a lot, where you were just joking around and she took it seriously. I would not change or defiantly dont go saying sorry, because I dont think you did anything wrong. Just when you see her next time, just continue doing what you do, just now be more upbeat and happy and this time she will get it.
 

"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.

Psychosomatic at best. This is absolutely not true.

Actually it has been tested by lots of people and scientific tests have been done, drinking alcohol through a straw does in fact get you drunk quicker.. I can't remember why, but it is true.

Wine through a straw! Yark! I agree; even with a golden ass, that girl is not worth the time of day! Bye and give her a wine etiquette book.

Is that one of the ways that american girls drink wine?

****y AND Funny

You have to be ****y AND funny. ****y by itself does work. Pretent it never happened. Next time you see her make her laugh while being ****y and all will be forgiven. If she's hot for you, you can be a serial killer and she wouldn't care.

Oh man - thanks for all the great comments.

Yeah, I pretty much assumed the same thing. We're going to Las Solas tonight and she'll be there. I'm just gonna play it cool and be my normal, witty self.

I was in top form last night but no hot girls were around to witness it. :p

Wish me luck tonight!

Oh, and Penkitten, the only reason that drinking wine through a straw would get you more drunk is because a straw enables you to drink a lot more in one go. It just speeds up the drinking process.

Okay, so here's an update!

Hot blonde girl just invited me to the beach with her and her ridiculously hot friend!

Looks like it's on!

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.
