"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.

if you were looking for a gf....how long did it take to get one ?


assuming you are not super pimp like sabato jr. who can do it in three days or less, how long does it take for a normal person ?

would you say its random , weeks, months etc?

I guess it hard to say a time bc u have to looking and some guys might be in the training might not pursue it all the way..etc..

maybe this question doesn't have an answer but if are a good dj, u probably have one sooner than a not so experienced Dj...
just throwing this out there for discussion sake
 

"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.

Like in my situation it took me months, like 2 months, once i met her i just started talking to her, go to know each other so i guess we were "Friends" but not really.

Everytime i got single, i looked too hard for a girlfriend that could replace the previous one.
And i wasnt getting a real quality women (not about looks, but about the full package)
At some point i stoped caring because i was getting a lot of making out, sex, and i didnt look anymore for a gf.
And guess what, at those times, i started liking someone.

This process happened to me several times, and everytime it took like 6 months to begin a new LTR.

knight ryder--let me present another perspective.
Why do you want a girlfriend?

It's been my experience--and the experience of lots of guys here, I'm sure--that you date and date and meet tons of women for months on end, but you only end up connecting with one you like as soon as you STOP LOOKING. Now this one can't be a coincidence. So why does it happen?
I think that even taking the position of looking for, desiring, wanting, needing (etc.) a girlfriend really hurts your chances of finding one. Now some women want guys who need them--but most of them are looking for a self-assured, independent man who already has a complete life...wanting a girlfriend puts her in the position of the selector--that's what you don't want.
The idea is to have your sh*t together and have good things going on--it's been my experience that women have been drawn to my passion for life and the things I do...not to my passion for them.
so my advice is to do what a lot of the other guys here are doing--get on a 6 month plan of self-improvement, including meeting LOTS of women [but only with the intention of working on your game]. eventually there will be at least one girl who wants to get serious with you--and YOU will be in the position of selecting and screening HER.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I think it all depends on the situation you are both in. If you happen to be looking for the same thing, then it can occur after a single date, but if one of you is at a different point, it might take quite a while. For me its taken months with some girls of slow buildup until something finally happens and it turns into a relationship, and in other cases its been a few days. I have always valued the ones it takes longer with more.
