"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.

I made out with a HB9 last Friday - we were both really drunk. The last thing I wanted to do was to take advantage of her, so I didn't make a move until she provoked me and asked me if I'm gay. I was like, O HELL NO, and just reacted and kissed her.

Anyway, the next day she texted me apologizing for being a ****show, and told me she had fun and thanked me for inviting me to the party.

I responded back many hours later saying that I had a great time and that we should hang out again. No response.

I gave her 48 hours and still got no response, so I called her to see what's up. We small-talked for a couple minutes and she brought up that night. I don't remember verbatim what she said, but it was along the following:

a) Sorry for being really drunk
b) Sorry if I embarassed you in front of your friends because I was a ****show
c) I kissed you. (I'm sorry (?)) I don't want to be awkward but please don't judge me, I'm usually not that kind of girl. I don't want to send the wrong impression.

To which I responded along the lines of don't worry about it, it's not a big deal.

First of all, she didn't kiss me. I kissed HER. She may have provoked the kiss, but I kissed her first. I am just confused now because if she was trying to tell me that it was a drunken mistake, she did a pretty bad job. Or did she? She said nothing about being friends.

I asked her to hang out this Thursday but she already has plans with her friend who is going abroad - legit excuse. She is leaving Friday for spring break and won't return for a week. She said we should hang out then.

If it helps any, she always seems genuinely interested in both personal and phone conversations.

Lost cause?

P.S. I asked a trustworthy mutual friend to do some digging. Please let me know if this is a lost cause so I can call it off and avoid embarassing myself.
 

"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.

You're too busy right now, but will be in touch.

The last thing I wanted to do was to take advantage of her

My ears are ringing from all the alarm bells. Why the fvck not? That should be more like the prime directive than the last thing you want to do. Let me key you in on a little secret:

she wanted you to take advantage of her

That's right. Women like sex, too. But they feel guilty about it, so they intentionally get themselves at least a little drunk so that they have an excuse afterward - they're not a slvt, just drank a little too much.

I'm not telling you to go rape some unconscious puking chick, but her having a little bit of booze in her should be a green light, not a red one. Don't let a woman down the next time she wants to be taken advantage of, or else she will go find another guy that same night who will give her what she wants.

I know.. I just had one bad experience of a girl accusing me of like molesting her when I clearly didn't. and I've been hesitant since.

I said no with a really good excuse to her text.

If anyone can answer my original question that'd be great.

well, its difficult to say whether its a lost cause or not... I would say, try flirting, teasing and being C&F with her...get things light hearted and bubbly and fun, rather than all this serious apologising and sh*t.

Hopefully if done its well received, you will find she'll be chasing you, and trying to make plans with you.

Good Luck!
 

"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.
