"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.

The short story is this: I have no problems picking up girls, no problems getting them in the sack with me, and most end up just wanting a no strings attached friends-with-benefits type relationship.

I know, I know, I'm at least getting laid, which is more than some people are doing, so why am I complaining? For some reason I feel empty. It's like I cannot get any sort of serious relationship going and I can't figure out why. My inquiries have revealed that I'm in shape, good looking, smart, funny, and apparently a good lay. So, this confused me even further. It befuddled me so much I did what any man wanting an answer does --- I asked the ladies.

The responses I got were more confusing than the question itself to me.

My favorite lady told me:
"You're too demanding, Magic Karl"

My sassy lady told me:
"You have too much attitude, Magic Karl"

My shy lady told me:
"I feel like I'd be dragging you down, Magic Karl"

All of these answers confused me. The only thing I ever demanded of my favorite lady was her phone number, I've given my sassy lady no more attitude then she has ever given me, and my shy lady has more going for her in life than I do. Even though their answers were different, one thing they all have in common is that they are very busy ladies with very demanding schedules. So now, I need a man's perspective.

Am I picking the wrong women? Should I just suck it up and be thankful for what I have?
 

"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.

You're one year older than me and complaining ?
i should kill you out of pure hate lol

I have a remotely similar experience but it was the reason i quit PU and all that shyat. The situation was hanging out, talked to a girl; The type that's really cool but also looks like you won't get a chance with her in a million years
I said hi, she responded, felt she was cool as hell so i joked around and then 4 other girls literally just barge in and approach me.

Taken by the "playa" moment; i started playing with them and saying **** about not having enough time. The cool girl was turned off and away, i joked around with those other 4 but i felt as hollow as a balloon that night

What changed afterwards ?
I realized i was only using girls to feel better about myself or believing that if girls like me then i'm allowed to like who i am

I dunno, maybe you have the same thing going on, different issues albeit, with relationships. I just thought my little experience could have something for ya, ;)

All the best
