You know that's an argument in cordon's favor... right?spinaroonie said:I'm 24. She's 22. You're 36.
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.

How is this cutesy?spinaroonie said:This is our txt exchange today - my first text intiated since last Thursday:
"just saw new zealand tie in the world cup and you popped into my head.. how you going mate"
"Very very tired lol. I had one of those Allnighter essays. How about you?"
"developing an excel spotchecker that replicates AXIS reserve runs.. redonkulously complicated"
"Erm I c"
"btw fatigue is your body nonverbally communicating to you to get some rest.. dont need ekman to tell you that"
"I know, I jsut slept from 3 till 11 lol"
You assume wrong my friend. I'm 35. If she's 21+, she's fair game!spinaroonie said:I'm assuming at 36 his targets are older, professional women.
spinaroonie said:Given that she's only been with one other guy before me
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 wouldn't at this point.spinaroonie said:I'll keep "pinging" her sporadically every few days with random DHVs.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I would say her actions are more congruent with a girl who's a ho than a girl who's not a ho.spinaroonie said:She's not a ho.
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.

As far as your texts... they're pretty bad man... especially since she seems very unenthusiastic and you're just giving her wayyyyy too much energy. If she was being receptive to them and you were doing them - they'd be fine. But why you continue to be sexual with a woman who's being poorly responsive to sexual suggestion - i have no clue.... A blind man could see she's not interested in talking about such things. In general - your texts:
- They come off as very try hard.
- They also come off as validation seeking (everything you say trys to point her back in the direction that sex and time with you is soooo amazing; but she doesn't seem to validate that which makes you continue to do it. This doesn't mean that she doesn't enjoy sex with you or your time - it just means she has no interest in validating it or talking about it. In this case - it's best to not talk about it with her; she's not that receptive to it anymore (you said she once was).).
- She's giving very boring answers in those texts. A sign that she's bored with you.
- You seem like a horny pervert in these texts. You're giving romance novel/pornographic descriptions of sex. Some women are receptive to such things. But once you see that she ISN'T - you should stop immediately. Why? Every time you say something sexual or mention what went on when you had sex, and she responds poorly - you're killing attraction by continuing to talk about sexual stuff! You're showing her you don't understand her; that you can't read her sub-communication.

Your best bet is just to sarge other women and if she comes texting/calling to go from there and try to get her to meet.
all these hos are hos accept it..spinaroonie said:She's not a ho.
spinaroonie said:Pretty good. I sorta acquired a bf, and it was meet the parents day yesterday. Mildly nerve-wracking :s
I've been too chicken **** to tell you :s
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
