"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.

bardender giving shots?

OK, so the last two times I've been to this club one of the bartenders (a late 20=something girl, cute) has given me shots.

Once was late in the night. I ordered a double-something, she just kind of threw down a Jag and gave it to me.

Tonight, I got there earlier, I order a double-something, she says "you wanna do Jag shots with me?" I never see her do a shot, but there's one there sitting there for me, I put the thing down.

So I've been doing the club thing for 12+ years, never had a bartender give me shots for free. I'm not thinking she's hot for me or anything, but is she just dipping for future tips?
 

"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.

Oh yeah, she's working you.

I adopted a "No Bartender" rule. Bartending is a lifestyle. I want to be a bartender, but I don't want to expose my genitals to one.

Where do you live, smoothie?

It's not that I'm interested in her. I'm just wondering if I'm being "played" as you call it. I mean, she is hot, but not my type.

Wierdly enough, I was out at another bar a while ago, and one of the bartenders from this first bar came over and started talking to me like she recognized me. I didn't recognize her, and this girl was SMOKING hot. So I wondered if there was a play there, too. It makes sense.

I live on the West Coast of Canada, by the way. That's about as specific as I'll get... ;)

How are you being played if she is giving you free drinks? Stop being suspecious of people who show genuine interest in you.
 

"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.

As my friend last night said, maybe she's looking for me to come back to HER and give her bigger tips.

It's the bar industry, I'm always suspect of sh*t like this.

That's it smoothie.

If you tip, or tip decent, she wants you to come to her or wait for her or reward you for your good behavior.

Try going back and not tipping her - watch the perceived IL go right in the dumper... and the drinks get weaker.

Bartenders know sex sells. To me, bartenders would be strippers if they didn't look nasty with their clothes off, so they put a bottle of booze in their hand. Same fuxing thing.

I guess it's like any other service position. You treat them well, they'll treat you well.

That's why I always tip decently. But I don't tip hot girls more than anyone else.

Anyhow... it's not like I mind in this particular case! I'll throw in an extra fifty cents if it means she gets to me first or makes sure my drink is nice and strong.

That IS all there is to say.

Damn, this is 250% true in Brazil. It's RARE to have a beautiful bartender around here.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

Awesome! That means she at LEAST likes you as a friend or thinks you're an alright person. bartenders have given me free shots for quite some time, and i can tell you, be it girl or guy, they're down to party with you if they're passin you shots. If it's a place you like, STAY ON THAT SH*T! The absolute worst that can happen is she gives you more free drinks! That's a victory no matter how you slice it!

realsmoothie, you sound like me right now, any girl that shows interest in you is trying to get attention out of you. It's a bad mindset.
