"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.

Bad First Impressions - Are they Salvageable?

I started some interim work at a finance firm today, in the administrative department. The good news is that in this department there's about 30 others working there... and 25 of whom are mostly women. However, having first-day work jitters I royally ****ed up on the job: Firstly, I spilt Coke all over a hot female co-workers portfolio. It wasn't ruined, she just re-printed it, but I felt terrible. (She didn't sound angry about it though.) Secondly, I deleted files on my computer which were VITAL -- this annoyed my co-workers. And finally, to cap it off, I sent emails off to the wrong recipients. (But this, however, was NOT my fault; the supervisor gave me the incorrect mailing list. Nevertheless, everyone naturally assumed that I was to blame for this blunder as well.)

I ask the question in the title because you probably all heard the old saying "First impressions last." That would be unfortunate, as there are so many hotties working there but I believe I left a negative impression on them. Is there anyway to redeem this situation? I'm working there for only 5 weeks and I really want to get into some of these girls' pants. But I fear that I've ruined any such prospect.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Yeah, they're salvageable, though only if you don't at any point in time from now on let on to anybody that you're embarassed/self-conscious etc. about that stuff; then, nobody else is gonna make a big deal out of it.

That being said, it IS difficult, and probably most people couldn't do it.

Talk about bad luck though, huh?

If a hot girl came and ****ed up on her first day you would still want to **** her, right? Like killahpl said, you should just not worry about it, and move on. It's the military attitude: Worry about what you're doing, not how you're doing. Move on from your mistakes and just do the best job you can.

Abilities to work as a finance intern are not the deciding force between sexiness and not! You can make mistakes and still keep your dignity. Just forgive yourself and keep trying. The only way to lose your dignity is to feel as if you've lost it.
