"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.

First off I'd like to say thank you very much. All the tips and hints have helped me a lot. I'm quite glad I found the site. My main problem was confidence, but it's great I found the site at such a young age- to think, the many more years of frustration I could have gone through!

Anyway, here's my question. I've read alot of hints, involving when to call etc. I would like to know which is better call or text messaging? Since I'm not really uber confident yet (getting there), I'm leaning more towards text- which one do you guys prefer? Which should I use.

Thanks very much for all responses- sorry if this question has already been asked.

Mixah.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

'oh I know.. I miss him... I wish I could just read his text!'

'oh I know... I miss him so much.. I wish I could hear that deep sexy voice of his'

This should make it a no brainer.

Also, you can tell if people sound happy to hear from you, or if they sound disinterested. It's also more difficult for them to break plans and easier for you to spot if they're giving a bullshizz excuse/if they're gonna flake.

This is pretty much common sense. Lets say we use SI figures to describe the importance of each conversation skill.

Person to person - MDj M=10^6
Text - Dj
Aim/similar - mDj

Sure you can do it, but its pointless. You learn the most through talking person to person, you learn nothing from talking through something else.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Calling is def way better. But I use txt if:

a. It's just a little thing and you know they might be busy (soccer game, church) so like to send something like "call me when you get this" or "you coming to the game tonight?"

b. If I'm in school. Obviously you can't sit and talk on the phone in class. But sometimes class is so boring that I'll just txt random people.

Calling obviously. I know a mate who texts more than he calls her. They have only known each other for 3 months!. I see my bird everyday at college so we don't really talk on the phone a lot. Face to face is better than phone and everything has always been arrange together.

Umm......if this is to set up a date. I hardly think it matters. You shouldn't be talking for ages anyway.

definitely call... If you were texting or whatever and all she said was 'yea' or 'oh' you're in bad shape
 

"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.

One more question

Thanks for the feedback. I will call then.

One more question though- if a girl asks for your number rather than letting you have hers what does that say? Low interest? Lack of trust? Thanks again.

Never give the girl your number. It has to be within your control.
