"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'm trying to get with this girl and freak coincidences keep happening that hold it back.

For the purposes of the story and your imagination, she's an Eight maybe a Seven for you picky ones.

(Nine when wearing a skirt :woo:)

My plan was simple. Get her number. Call it.

Ask her (while standing there) if she wanted to go out some time.

So we're out and about, walking around (our extra-curicular lets us roam)

She says she likes me, I ask why, she says it's because I'm freakishly cute and funny.

(I was hurt that she used the word freakishly lol)

Anyways, so I get her number, and my phone says emergency calls only.

Something that has only ever happed to me once in the year that I've had my phone.

1/365 chance of happening

So I take things in stride, verbalize the problem, and take a few minutes to reset the settings.

Then, when I'm about to call her, a girlfriend of mine comes out and asks me to do her favor.

The chances of seeing that girl needing me to do something at that point in time are ridiculous.

1/100 chance of happening.

Alright so I get that settled, it takes around 40 minutes as we tag along with my other friend

(who's pretty hot and friendly, worked the jealousy angle for me nicely lol)

All the girls (as we walked in different classrooms) were unusually excited to see me.

I wasn't complaining, but now the girl I'm trying to get with thinks I'm a player.

I'm not.

So that, bundled with a friend always calling me a horndog, does not help me.

Finally, when thats over, I call her. She accidently ignores my call.

(she's right there and tells me so)

What are the fukcen chances?!?

1/25 chance of happening

So the period ends and I still hadn't done anything.

I was determined to do it the next time I saw her.

So(the next time I see her) our class is having a guest speaker (once a year.)

There's no room to wiggle.

I started playing footsies before the teacher called me on it (not as akward as you might think)

1/365 chance of happening (guest speaker for the year)

After school she hugs me, tells me to call her later.

So I call her after school, hoping to get together today and invite to a friend's kick-back.

It's her Mom's birthday.

1/365 chance of happening.

I'm starting to give up. I've never had this much trouble.

Dumb luck alone has given me circumstances that have a 1/118,570,250,000 chance.

Needless to say, if that luck had transversed itself, I'd have easily won a lottery.

Unless of course, she's just fukcing with my head.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

God may in fact not want it to happen, but I suspect he would much prefer that you made your own decisions instead of him making them for you. He's probably not gonna interfere in your life; if there's something wrong with the girl, that's YOUR job to decide in qualifying her. Don't believe in fate or numerology. Both concepts are feminine and foolish.

If she said she didn't want to hang out because it was her mother's birthday, that may be bullsh1t. (Who really spends all day parting for their mom's birthday? :rolleyes: ) She could have suggestd an alternate date, but she didn't. MAYBE try her once more, but if you still have trouble then just move on.

In the meantime, spin other plates. You sound like you have mild oneitis.

Nicely put. I like how you coupled femininity and foolishness.

I actually don't believe in God, but characterized chance as, well, God.

In order Tt get my point across more effectively.

I'm still going for it. But there are only so many things that can keep happening.

If I break my leg when walking up to her I'm giving up. Seriously.

Dude, this has all happened in ONE DAY?

So you literally got her # and called her less than 5 hours later? While she's still in the same building with you?

I mean, you don't have to wait a week to call, but, damn, you got some learning to do. :D

You misunderstood. It wasn't a building, she was right there.

We were walking around together on campus.

Got her number, called it so she'd have mine and planned to ask her there.

I've been flirting with her for a few days so it hasn't been rushed lol (well, not that rushed.)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
Its never that God doesn't want it to happen, its that SHE doesn't want it to happen.

If a girl wants to get with you, she'll make it happen. Even if all of those excuses are true, she'd have proposed an alternative.
