"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.

Gentlemen, we have a powerful new tool at our disposal with text messages, but perhaps not for the reason you think. When a person sends off quick messages they will reveal subtle clues about their true thoughts at the moment.

Good signs

"excited"
"!!!!"
":)"
"LOL"
"<3"


Bad signs

"gross"
"disgusting"
"blah"
"afraid"
"sorry"


Word Combinations

Once you master the individual words used by yourself and your target, you can look at the way words are grouped for even greater insight. By knowing the subtle cues to look for you can know when to reply and when to back off. Also, please let me know if you have any more info about grouping words.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I agree to some extent, but only with chicks that you are seeing and banging.

But regardless, it's important not to fall into the trap of reading anything much from messages sent by a girl you haven't banged.

And at any time, the only thing you should use as a measure of success in text messaging is to consider:

* Is your text messaging consistently getting her to meet up with you, so you can bang her brains out?


Anything else is a waste of time in my opinion.

Yes, as runner83 notes, this is for understanding women you are dating for more than 2 months but who might not be exclusive, because they need to have written enough to establish a pattern in their writing to establish what the norm is.

Also, when you writing to them, be aware of your own language. There is often a better way to say something.

BAD: I'm afraid I won't get a chance to see you until tomorrow.
GOOD: Tomorrow we will be together.

The words together and "we will" are better than the words "afraid" and "won't get a chance".
