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.
HAHAHA I forgot all about Zima, but it was the first booze I ever had. My neighbor stole it from his older sister, whose boyfriend had an IROC and we thought it was the coolest car ever lolsamspade said:

There's no doubt women's attitudes have gotten worse, but this seems a little counter-intuitive to me. I've always heard dating (or "hanging out", Squirrels, if you prefer) gets easier as you get older. And that's been my experience. I've found it easier to attract women as I've gotten older, and maybe more importantly, to keep them attracted.
