"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.

Everything was going great, sex was good dates were good, she was so into me and wanted me...

she goes to manchester for a week,

Tells me when shes back.

I text her she dosnt reply, then on the day she came back i text her 1 more time no reply...

she comes on msn and cuts off when i write to her,,,,

so i send a text, we had a lot of fun but you got stuck, its sumone elses turn to try, i hope we can still be friends, u are 2 nice but not right 4 me, this is the last kiss goodbye..

she replys after with,,, hey im sorry i havent replied, i have found somebody else and i didnt know how to say it, we had alot of fun but im afraid u are not the right one for me either i hope you will find somebody nice, goodbye x


Now do you think, she was just trying to save her ego, by sending that crap? was she still into me and testing me to see if i would become clingy and afc like??

which i dont think i did....

was it over? or was this a big **** test?

because she so attracted to me and everything was amazing...
 

"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.

I concur... Absolutely no test here...


Chalk up the times with her as good fun and move on :)


EDIT::.... I don't even view it as her dumping you... Its more like, she had some fun and now wants to move on. All of us guys here do the very same thing.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Correction, YOU thought she was so attracted to you and everything was amazing - She thought differently.

You were blinded by your own interest towards her and you didn't pick up on her subtle signs.

....you can keep telling yourself that...

If she was REALLY into you, girls don't generally play hard to get AFTER sex.

Go back and read stone cold's posts about this girl for the past two months. They steadily get worse and worse. Since day one he has been worrying about this girl, and you can tell from each post that her IL is getting less by the day. He keeps saying everything is "amazing", but her actions in these past threads say otherwise, and a lot of things that you claim in these previous posts don't add up stone cold.

This is a case study in how NOT TO ACT when meeting someone new and starting a relationship.

You texted way to much, you worried way to much, you obsessed way to much. Trust me she caught onto all of this very quickly.

And btw, she dumped you. I would have too based on how you acted.

Its amazing that when women travel, they change!!

anybody notice this??
 

"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.

Not really, she could have gone to the North Pole for six months and if her interest level was high it would have remained high.
