"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.

Feeling a bit guilty...

So, as we all know, last night was New Years Eve, and people tend to get drunk and party on New Years Eve. Well, I was at a party, and was really drunk and high. Now, I've been in a relationship with this girl for about 2 months, not too long at all. I, being drunk and not thinking, fingered this girl who was sitting on my lap, for literally like 2 seconds. After I did that, and that's all that happened, we didn't kiss or anything, I felt incredibly guilty. Whether or not that constitutes as cheating, I still feel like it was, and I've felt guilty ever since. Now call me an AFC or whatever you like but, I really like my girlfriend, however I don't love her, and a part of me wants to tell her, but another part wants me to keep my mouth shut and deal with it. I don't think my girlfriend will break up with me if I tell her, as she is really into me, and told me that she loves me. Also, she's such a sweetheart, I never have heard her talk "trash" about anybody and she is always nice to me.

Now, does anybody have any advice for me?

Thanks
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Of course it was cheating.

Having said that, in my opinion if you assume that your girlfriend is not going to find out otherwise, the only reason you are telling her is to alleviate your own guilt and she ends up the one getting hurt. It's quite a selfish move really. Better to deal with the guilt yourself and leave your girlfriend out of it.

I used to be very idealistic about such things but in truth, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

That's my opinion anyway.

Let's not all turn into the morality police. If you like your GF, DON'T tell her. Mate, just forget about it and carry on as normal. Guilt about these sorts of things passes.

I would suggest not telling her, what good will it do?

If you tell her, you'll alleviate a bit of your guilt, at the cost of your girlfriend's suffering..

If you did like this girl, be a man and don't say anything. She'll appreciate it much more.

"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.

Here's my advice:

SHUT THE FCUK UP!

If anyone else says anything about it, say:

"I was really drunk, I don't remember ANY of that!"

That's your story! STICK TO IT! Repeat it a hundred times till they get bored and leave you alone. Don't explain, don't give details, don't agree with anything else they say.

"Dude! I was really drunk, I don't remember ANY of that!"
"No, seriously! I was really drunk, I don't remember ANY of that!"
"I was really drunk, I don't remember ANYTHING!"

Got it? GOOD BOY!

"Let's not all turn into the morality police." :up: Agreed.

Bro, it was a **** move on your part... But what's done is done. You can't change that.

I think if you value her, or the relationship at all I think you'll keep this one under wraps. Sounds like this was the first time you've ever done anything like this, and a pretty insignificant occurrence at that.

I am assuming you're younger?? This is the shi* you learn from man, don't sweat it. I just don't think it's worth the repercussions that will ultimately follow if you tell her. Though she may stick with you as you say, the relationship will never be the same again. She will never trust you. You can't just earn that back.

With that said, if you are going to tell her, then you should end it.

The drunk excuse is thrown around all too often... What it comes down to is an opportunity presented itself, and subconsciously you wanted to know you still "have it". I've been there. Take this as a learning experience and move forward from here. Don't tear yourself up over it either, otherwise she'll start questioning things.

You need to make a decision, one way or the other, and not look back. Tell her, and leave her. Or forget it ever happened. You know my opinion.

Good luck brahh

How is that NOT cheating? If my girlfriend jacked off somebody, and I don't care for how long, I'd consider it cheating, wouldn't you?

However, I'm going to keep my mouth shut like you all suggested.

Thanks.
 

"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.

i second this. it happened to me. and on top of that everytime i was with my girlfriend and she got drunk she'd bring up the time i cheated on her and she'd get angry. not a fun thing. either break up with her or don't tell her. also, don't ask other females for advice...most of the time it's bad advice. listen your guy friends or us on here.

yes this is cheating 100%.

and if you still want to be with your girlfriend DONT TELL HER! if you tell her, you'll damage trust forever. you'll hurt her. you might even push her to cheat on you. nothing good can come from telling her. NOTHING.

you want to clear your conscience. well you'll forget anything given enough time, so you'll forget this. change your forum name in a few weeks so this thread doesn't remind you of it.

if anyone says anything, like the guy says above, YOU WERE DRUNK and dont remember anything. that's the story. stick to it. in fact, i'm pretty sure you dreamt it and it didnt even happen.

Yeah, it's obviously cheating. I mean, I'm surprised you even doubted that for a split second.

Your conscience will torture you. If you think it's bad now, wait a little while, it will hang on your shoulder until you won't be able to bear it any longer and then you'll talk.

There's no way out of your own mind man. Time to own up.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I would. Why is she even IN a position to be touching another guys ****, let alone actually doing it? Even for one second.

Same with the OP. If you like the girlfriend that much, why are you in a position where this could happen? The way you wrote it sounds like this girls ***** fell onto your finger. I doubt thats the case. Is this going to happen again if you are out drinking with buddies and the situation presents itself?

I would NOT tell your girl, but if you can't be a man and control your urges (or you're too young), don't lead this girl into a relationship.

She isn't in a position to be doing that, and she wouldn't.
I was sitting down, completely relax, and this girl sat on me. She started rubbing all up on me, and I don't know, I just did it. It was not any form of sexual harassment; the girl loved it. However, that was it. It was just a one time thing, I really don't even know why I did it. Girls throw themselves onto me every weekend, but I've always controlled myself, I just slipped ONCE. I was incredibly drunk, that's one of the only things I really remembered of the night.
I told a really good friend, who happens to be a girl, about this, and instantly I felt much better.
I'm not going to tell my girlfriend about this, I was dumb, and I won't do it again.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

It's all right........ if u have a good time!
ThatMysteriousGuy made a really good post about this, where he explained that an ex-girlfriend had kissed a guy at a party in a moment of weakness, and was very obviously guilty, even though she thought he didn't know. So the punishment was really in the guilt itself and she never did it again.
