"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.

So I'm a sophomore at college and I got a girl's number under the veil we'd do hw together since we're in the same math class(bad move ik).

After a few texts about hw I asked her out ice skating. She said yes and that she'd get back to me with a specific time.

Two weeks later and no reply....

But then I saw her at a party and she was a little drunk but firmly grabbed my arm and said "I know I ignored you but text me to remind me about ice skating!"

Of course I didn't text her, but I got a text from her the next day about a hw question.



I see her everyday since my college only has 370 students in each graduating class. I saw her today after the text and gave her a smirk and she immediately looked away.

I was debating whether to continue to ignore her or just say 'who's this?' and act uninterested.

Thoughts?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I'd either ask her once more then drop it forever (if that will help you get closure), or just drop it right now, delete her number and move on. Saying "who's this?" is childish because you know who it is and she knows that you know etc. Just treat her like any classmate/acquaintance. Friendly and respectful but avoid confrontation unless necessary.

I wouldn't answer the text, she's either making you work too hard or trying to protect herself and make a fool out of you.

For someone your age its hard to hear this but just move on, don't waste too much effort and time with her.

I remember when I was a sophomore I would fly across the ocean in the hopes of getting a kiss from a girl. Now I don't think I could drive more than 10 minutes to sleep with a girl. :rock:

Ok thanks guys. I was debating whether to text "haha sorry ive been pretty busy" to reestablish contact but ignoring her is probably way less beta.
