"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.

As you all know, there's a lot of flakes and bullsh!tters out there. What are your opinions of putting your foot down and giving a girl (for lack of a better word) an ultimatum?

Example:

"I'm gonna be real... Do you want to hang out, or should I just delete your number?"

I've noticed that more often then not this kind of thing does NOT have a positive outcome, but I also can't stop myself from doing it when I get flaked on or when a girl does't respond. This sh!t pisses me off, and, since I am bored as f*ck 70% of the time these days and have nothing better to do, I cave in to my anger and send these kind of texts.

Thoughts?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The only time I do things like that is if I'm actually in a LTR with her and I'm on the verge of getting rid of the bytch. The last GF I had flaked for our 6 month anniversary. I had mentioned that I was planning something for us a few times and when the day finally came and I was outside her apartment to pick her up, she went silent. She claimed that she never got any of the messages that we were doing something. My final message to her was "I'm not sure if you're going to get this message or not, but I'm done with you".

As for new chicks who flake, I don't care enough about them to send an angry message.

What happened after that? What did she say?

I agree. Keep calm and move on.

Don't be bored as f*ck and it won't bother you as much. Flakes happen. It's best to plan ways to see her that are convenient for you. Like if you have to go to the mall to buy something, you have her meet you at the bar at the mall, etc. If she flakes you don't care.

Don't send those texts ever. They come off as not having self-control. Don't tell her what you are going to do... just do it.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I always go in thinking that they will flake. I had a flake the other day.It was no big deal. It won't help to get angry.....I am feeling quite calm since I think I am finally over my x. It took three months. Three months of crazy....

Asking them that only feeds their validation. You simply disappear without a trace.

Besides, always read a woman's actions not her words.
