So Ill keep this as simple as possible, Im currently in a relationship, one I want to break off soon, and started talking to another girl, whos hotter and more of my type, however she just found out that I have a girl friend and has been responding less and less positively than she has in the past. Anyway I can sort out this mess.
"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

hehe, i know that situation.
I would say break up with ur gf as soon as possible. Don't waste your time, or money, if you know it's gonna end soon. As long as you have it there, it's gonna weigh you down, its like a big ****block

i wouldn't give up a sure thing if the hotter girl wasn't a sure thing
if she knows you broke up for her then she will have more power and it may not go well
if you were gonna dump ur gf already then go for it, being single is cool

are you serious?!?! a "sure thing"? you make it sound like every guy should keep their girlfriend for fear of never being able to get one again. AFC mentalityBananaSmile said:
if he wants to break up with her then why should he stay with her. regardless of whether things work out with the new girl, if things are dead with the old one, he should end it.

He did say "if you were gonna dump ur gf already then go for it, being single is cool". So he's not really saying "stay in a relationship because you can't find another girl".tobylikestennis said:
OP, how have you handled this situation so far? What have you told your new interest? How have you explained the whole thing to her?
"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.
