"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.

Hello guys,

I live about 40km from this girl that I'm dating. We've only met once so far.
3 days ago I setup a 2nd date with her and we agreed she takes the bus to the station near where I live and then we go to this place that is close to where I live. I drive and she doesn't.
2 days ago she messages me saying she feels we should hang out in her area a few more times before she goes to new areas and that it's a girl thing.
I guess she meant she wants to feel safe first.

Being a gentleman I agreed and we picked a spot near where she lives. I'm divided between thinking this was considerate of me or being weak.

If you have any input please share, and also most importantly please advice on how to proceed with future dates...thanks guys.
 

"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.

There are really two ways to look at this. If you're asking if agreeing to meet in "her area" will stop you from getting laid.. then the answer is: not necessarily. If you're asking if it makes you look weak.. also.. not necessarily.

My advice is just DON'T DO IT AGAIN. Why? Because of the slippery slope. If you compromise your terms on one thing, then wants next? The more a woman can get you to give into her wishes the more she controls the relationship. :)

Its manipulation. There is no reason a GROWN ADULT can't meet you in a neutral place you pick. She just wants to meet you at her convenience to minimize investing too much too early. Nothing wrong with that. Its a smart move on her part, but not necessarily good for you.

She also wants to avoid being in a situation where YOU have too much control. You see.. women always look out for themselves.. while men usually look out for the woman. This gives the woman 100% control.

For instance.. if she comes to your place and refuses to f*ck you.. then you will likely tell her to "find her own way home". IF you live in a sketchy area.. this might be dangerous for her.. so she will be at your mercy. If you come to HER area.. then she is in control. This is why its always a good sign when a woman agrees to come to YOUR place. You know she is open to getting pounded. :woo:
