"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.

"Are you a virgin?" / "He's a virgin"

On more than one occasion I've been asked the question "Are you a virgin?"

In the past I tend to say something like "what sort of ridiculous question is that?!" Their response is always "Aha! You are a virgin!" Then after that, I try to disprove their assumption (their assumption IS true, but they aren't supposed to know that) and tell them that they cannot possibly know for sure.

Other times, people who actually knew it for sure have said the words "he's (me) a virgin" when I was around a bunch of people and then it becomes hard to seem cool to those people after that phrase was uttered. Typically, when anyone does say those words, they're "messed up," so they aren't thinking straight. Plus the people who say things like this don't really respect me.

In the last situation, one suggestion may be to simply not be around those people. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done because we have some mutual friends, and those friendships are important to me. So that isn't really a choice, though I do try to implement that choice the best I can.

What I'd like to know is what are some good responses to that sort of thing?

I don't want to lie, because A) lying is wrong, and B) it'll be obvious that I don't know that I'm talking about. However, in our contemporary sex-crazed society among the younger crowd (18-25) it's considered "uncool" to be a virgin, so I have that working against me whenever people find out.

What can I do to "come out on top" in these situations? Or more specifically, what types of things can I say and/or do?

"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.

Here's my response. It works everytime.

Them: Hah, your a virgin aren't you
Me: Hah, just because you don't want to believe all the nasty things your mum did to me last night.

them: u virgin.. hehe

you: seems like pickiness has a price

you: I do not stick my member into every p***y I meet
you: I do not stivk my member into every sewer pipe I come across - this has worked for me beautifully once when I was pissed at some girl accusing me of sleeping around.

if a girl:

always play on the pickiness issue.

that you value sex, and call it special.

or you just could start a monologue about the consuming society in which sex has lost its meaning, and that you, consider it special to be inside a womans body, to feel her soul and to have this mutual experience..

Actually I think I will try this on the weekend, just to see hwat happens..

Why are you embarrassed about being a virgin?

When I was asked this question some years ago by two girls, I replied: "Yes, I'm a virgin." One of the girls laughed out loud, the other asked me why. I told her "I prefer to be in a committed relationship before I have sex and I still haven't found that person".

I had a lot of conviction in what I was saying, which showed them I was very confident in my beliefs. Both girls suddenly showed a lot of respect for me and a few days later I asked one of them out, had a 6month relationship with her, during which time I lost my virginity.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Best reply to "Are you a virgin?"

This is the best reply I've evr come up with to the above mentioned question:

Her: "Are you a virgin?"
You: "Would you like to find out? (sly grin)"

Another one you could use is:

Her: "Are you a virgin?"
You: "Not exactly, I like to refer to it as a rookie"
