"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.

I finally have to admit that the dates where I don't drink or keep things to a glass or two of wine are going much better than the dates where I drink a bottle and a half of wine. The problem is the latter dates are more fun. I guess I just like getting smashed and talking/pulling girls, rather than trying to do the same sober.

Any of you guys relate?
 

"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.

yeaa if it's a one on one date try to restrain yourself. The only exception might be if she is also smashed. I would say a good rule is to always be a bit more sober than her so you can keep your wits about you.

If you're talking about socializing at a party or something...that's different. Not gonna lie, i like to get drunk before i start really going for girls. Its good to warm up talking to girls when soberish, but as the night goes on and i build some momentum, if i'm drunk and i'm feeling good, i can feel like i'm unstoppable and i'm like on autopilot.

Absolutely, I'm definitely not going to stop drinking for when I'm cold approaching, although maybe I'll drink a bit less.

The situations I've been talking about have been one on one, where I've ended up so drunk it was difficult to speak. I know it sounds stupid but generally I dont find girls' company that interesting so drinking is a way of entertaining myself. But it really lowers their interest, which I can understand. It's literally blown up the last four dates I had. My ideal date would be a girl who will match me drink for drink but I don't seem to be finding those party hard girls, more the one glass of wine, then I'm done. It's boring. Im a finance lawyer, I'm around corporate tedes all day. When I play, I want to play hard.

Yup alcohol puts me into God-mode where I am fearless. Went on a date on Thursday without any alcohol and it was great. First time in a while. Booze really just lowers my standards so I will hit on any remotely cute girl. Being sober made me realize I didn't really like the chick that much and that it wasn't worth hittin it. Drunk, I would have escalated and then probably regretted it the next day.

I am now going to do a mix of sober dates/ drunk picking up. Weekdays for sober dates, weekends for fun.

I like masturbating but thats unproductive. Start focusing on the long term goals and forget the short term pleasures. Yes you might have more fun with alcohol but you wont accomplish your goal of keeping the girl around.

BTW. I've noticed the same also. More alcohol = less likely to see her again
