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.

this is good, how should you say this above, in a joking tone or a serious tone?bukowski_merit said:I learned this from someone i respect greatly.
When in situations like this - say something like, "is he hot? want to do a threesome with him?"... then... WATCH HER REACTION!
You'll learn if it's a sh!t test or genuine interest from her to him.
And at that point - you move accordingly.
Probably no reasonable person would expect her to cut him out of her life after a knowing him forever,however, if she is in an exclusive relationship with you she is obligated to extend to you some fundamental courtesies.lifemisspent said:She has knows this guy forever and been friends for a long time. Now that she is dating me is she supposed to not hang with him anymore ?
a tone that she can't really read... something in between... she can't know if you're serious or not.big weezy said:this is good, how should you say this above, in a joking tone or a serious tone?
most women will put something like that through a filter. even if she would love to do a 3some with you and him - she will have up her ASD (anti-slut defenses). So what she says isn't so important as how she reacts the instant you say it.big weezy said:and what reaction should you be expecting etc? i.e. if this reaction this means that, if that reaction means sh1t test.

Well, according to your own way of looking at these things, she's is not allowed to meet up with any male, including a platonic friend. Don't know if they are platonic, but it seems like you are the one who can't handle contact between her and ANY men.lifemisspent said:I totally diasgree of " friendships " between attached women and men ( I dont know if he is attached or not )
Apparently she is.lifemisspent said:But we are not seeing anyone alse
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.
