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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Ohhhhh hooooo. Now you're in trouble, mate!Originally posted by sharpshooter
UPDATE. Called last night, left a short message on her phone..no reply
Saw her this morning in class. Tapped her with my textbook and said her name....she looked at me and nodded 3 times with a straight/sad face.....so i just walked off
She's not even being friendly anymore. WTF is going on

Thanks for the reply man. Doesn't know any of my friends. Since that was our final class together (exams start on monday and end on friday),it's gonna be tough to catch her at school... so i'm thinking of calling her tommorow and letting her know. Problem is she's obviously been screening my number, so i'm gonna have to use *67 lol.Originally posted by TillTheEndOfTime
Hmm...you've dug yourself in a deep hole. I'm naturally an honest person, I find it hard to lie.....but I think in this case you need to do some....not lying exactly...let's call it truth-bending hehe.
You need to explain to her why you've been distant....that's the first step if anything is ever going to patch up. You don't want to tell her that you were doing it because of this ganji thing you read about on the internet....of course not. She'll probably laugh at you and who knows what could happen from there.
So make something up. I don't know your history, your grades, friends, if she knows your friends, etc....but you can say something like you've been distant because you and one of your good friends from somewhere haven't been getting along lately and it's been bothering you....or you haven't been doing well in school and it got you down for a while, etc. Some of this may be true anyways....just "elaborate" on it. Nothing dramatic like your friend died or something. Sit at the back of class one day and make sure you are able to be out before she is so you can take her aside and talk to her. Then just try to explain it to her. If she doesn't buy it or simply does not care anymore...then tough luck there isn't anything you can really do. If she does and things start to patch up, great....then never play this **** again until you know what you're doing.
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.

Well i'm gonna call her today and explain why i've been "busy". Obviously i'm not gonna mention GG haha. Just gonna remain positive about it and see where it goes.
Would asking her out to study tommorow be too soon and sudden (considering exams start on monday)? I'm thinking I should just hint that we should hang out AFTER the exams, since we're both gonna be busy during the exams.
Who says i'm not paying attention to other girls? Relax, i'm gonna find out real soon if I should drop or not.Originally posted by MindOverMatter
How much time have you spent playing these ganji games? One week? 2? a month? 2 months?
How long are you gonna keep this up until you realize that it is a complete and utter waste of your time? If you put the same effort you put into ganjing into meeting other girls, you would have had at least 2 or 3 replacements for her by now.
You guys need to get rid of this scarcity theory that quality women are hard to meet and the first one you meet should get all of your attention. To me, ganji is just another word for oneitis.

She text messages me back and says "i don't wanna come across as being rude, but is there a reason for you calling me?"

how do i proceed from that? need some big time help..
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.
yeah i feel you, but i'm wondering what the hell does she mean? Is she serious or trying to be slick.... She replied like 2 hours later as well.Originally posted by huge_guy_pimpin
write her this message
"goodbye"
and no ganji no nothing, get her out of your life, and even if she gets naked and sticks her ass in your **** while ur taking a shower, dont give her any attention.

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.
