"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.

Coming off too strong or toning it down?

Situation: a year or so ago I went to spend a week at some friends place in another city, meet hb9, she showed interest, chased her but I have the feeling it might have come off as too strong and too fast. Anyways, never got anywhere, had to leave, tried to meet with her in a another city we both travel to frequently but she never returned the call (at the time I just nexted her and never thought about it again).

Now I´m probably travelling to this friends city again soon, I might bump into her again, and if the dynamic is still there I´ll likely try to see this trough again, what you guys suggest, keep doing what I was doing before or tone it down a bit? She is a introvert, btw.

I prefer to come off as too strong than as too weak, but this situation didn´t turned out so well, so I´m thinking I´ll play it softer this time... what do you guys think? I´ll probably be going to this place more often now. The fact that she never returned the call also makes me wanna not give her the time of the day.

This is not oneitis, just a 9 that seemed like a good prospect at the time but I never managed to see it trough and I want to chalk down either as a "learning experience" or a sucess, not a loose end (a very irrelevant one, but still one) - if I have the opportunity, that is.
 

"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.

If you are having those thoughts that you pushed too hard, too fast, you are probably correct.
It is impossible to know what she is thinking about you BUT, HB9's are subjected to a stampede of horny guys "pushing too fast" . By doing the same, you just joined the conga line.

Good point... now that I think about it it seems kinda obvious. Also it was a bit a situation where I felt I was racing against the clock.
