So this Jamie girl who I'm friends with is leaving and I said "What you aren't even gonna say bye to me?" blah blah, she stops and we start talking. So I say she has to give me a high five and she says okay. So I play with that for a while, she high fives but I miss on purpose, just for the hell of makiing things interesting. Then I'm like "Okay, for real this time" and we do the high five. I'm like yeah and I hug her. So I swear when we hugged we were so close we could've kissed if we wanted to and she even randomly said "You look fabolous today" and I'm like thanks and say bye to her as she goes. So could I have gone for 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.
Could I have gone for the kiss?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yes. You probably could have tapped it.

Go elstud you stud .. ahhah
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You fumbled the snap, picked it up, fumbled the handoff, picked it up, and then you somehow found a way to Tony Romo/Kevin Dyson yourself at the one yard line.
This is pretty much the equivalent of fumbling the snap on a kneel down to force overtime, and the other team running it back all the way.

Could you have gone for the kiss? I would have to say no. The reason I say that is because of the first sentence in your thread. You said,"This girl Jamie who I'm friends with". Unless I'm mistaken, you have already established the kind of relatonship you have with this girl, and it's platonic.
If you had just recently met this girl, then maybe it would have been possible.
But if you have been friends with her for while, then no.

That convo seems really awkward to me. I mean you ask her to say bye to you and then you ask her for a "high five"? I mean what the hell is that... A high five?! dude that's lame. Maybe this girl is just really ugly or desperate but I highly doubt you could have gone for the kiss. I bet she wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. It sounds like you forced the whole thing.
but what do I expect from someone in the school band...

"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.
