"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.

At least I think so...
perhaps stupid.

We didn`t have an exclusive relationship but weren`t seeing anyone else for a year. Now she is studying abroad for a year. so I don`t see her for a while.
I`m 22 she is 20..

Question: how do you guys cope with knowing a woman, you are really fond of, is f*cking other guys. When you believe in the kind of love artists like Meatloaf & Bon Jovi sing about...

?
 

"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.

You'd think that would go without saying.

Dude I don't think you really loved her as much as you say you do now. I think the problem is that she was like your "getting laid insurance policy" and now that it has expired...you are back at square one and it hurts. I believe that the reason why you are under the impression that you "loved her" is because now that you aren't getting any from anyone else, you miss her.

The mistake you made is that after you got her, you stopped trying to meet other chicks since you had a girl to bang at your disclosure. That made you feel like a pimp, but it also made you lazy. I was in a similar situation as you/made the same mistake earlier this year, and now that it's over, I haven't been with another girl in 6 months. I got lazy as hell after I met a chick, stopped visting this forum, basically forgot about the whole DJing philosophy all together. Now look where I am.

Next time you meet a girl, don't treat the term "FB" as fallback girl like you did before. Make sure a f*ck buddy is a f*ck buddy and nothing 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.

I think your are just missing the regular sex. Find someone new and your problem will go away.

Thanks for all the replys :D

met a cute girl in the bus last saturday, a 7.5 if u ask me.
but I`m not quite sure what i want with her...

sent the "ex" a really sappy love email. meant every word of it.
but it was more to push her away, coz I know what happens when you get all wishy washy with a girl.

In the year i`ve been with this girl I had numerous occasions to fuk some really hot girls, but I didn`t out of respect for our
relationship (Stupid, I know)
I could have if I asked them out, but I didn`t.. So probably it`s not because I`m lazy but never found a girl like her...
Am I Stupid 4 not dating more than 1 girl at a time?

2 questions:

#1: How do you keep emotional distance from a f*ck buddy?

#2: What is true love?

please enlighten me
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Don't come in here asking that dumb crap.

We aren't shoulders to cry on. Come here when you need help getting your **** back on track, not rhetorical questions like "omg what's true love *sobbing*"

When I was a much younger man it was tough not to get hung up on a chick I was getting down with. It seemed so easy to get emotionally attatched or get sucked in or something. In my mind it was "true love".

Looking back it was just sex and nothing more.

My answers to your questions are:

#1 To keep emotionally distant to a f*ck buddy- get burned a few times by various chicks and then establish a team of girls that you keep in rotation. That seems to help getting too attatched to just one. Have a back up chick.

#2 What is true love? You will know when you know but it's not just sex. All I know is from my experience, after you've had a few str's and ltr's and ons and etc. etc. it becomes much harder to get attatched to women. Meet and date more women and you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, you remind me of myself about 15 years ago. I just wish there was a place like this where you could get advice and different opinions back then
:D

True love is when you're walking down the street and you fail to see a car speeding towards you, and your girl comes running, pushes you out of the way, and jumps in front of the car that's about to hit you.

In other words...it don't exist. :p
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
