"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.

Finally broke my one-itis

I had this oneitis on this girl for about 5 months and I finally broke it off tonight. What's funny is, I don't have an exact reason to. If you look at myself and my life I don't really have a reason to having oneitis on this girl and she isn't even pretty. She's 23, short, not fat but not skinny either but her feminine features are not that obvious, she has a nice head on her shoulders, maybe too good for her own good and she is currently a highschool math teacher.

I just turned 21, I lost 100lbs, I now run my own businesses, I have a car, I train in combat sports, I regularly lift, I play musical instruments, achieved stuff I wanted to achieve in my life thus far(I'm not bragging, this is for analytical purposes haha) and as far as my game goes I always try to have fun by teasing every girl I meet but at the same time be a gentleman where it counts. BUT the thought that she was supposedly going to be my first girlfriend, that thought became the most dangerous thing for my experience in this situation. For 5 effing months I was completely at her feet. Complete AFC. I had lost my balls and I wasn't even getting any in exchange. After our little conversation earlier about her turning me down because she wasn't sure I was mature enough, there was no spark and all that crap. We parted ways and shortly after had this text conversation. So it went like this:

Girl: Sorry, but I do appreciate your effort.
Me: It's ok. :) Good night.
Girl: What do you mean by "It's ok?"
Me: I mean, it's ok you turned me down.
Girl: So what's your plan?
Me: I think it would be better for the both of us to go back as being friends.
Girl: Sure. (by this time I had found out I meant nothing to this girl)
Me: Ok. That's good.
Girl: Ok. You should teach me how to play drums now.
Me: No. I'm practicing. I'm using it.
Girl: Ok. You're mean.
Me: You're so hard to teach. I had a hard time the last time.
Girl: Ok. Have fun with your drums
Me: Sure. I will. You can use it I guess when I'm not around. You should get some one qualified to teach.
Girl: Ok. I'll find some one who will put up with teaching me.
Me: Haha. Good luck.
Girl: Thanks, I guess.
Me: I can refer you to a drum teacher. I'll give you his contact later.
Girl: You don't have to. I'll just get some one who'll teach me the basics.
Me: Ok. Good luck with that. Show me what you learn when you're done.
Girl: Thanks, really. I don't know if you're insulting me or not. It only shows I made the right decision. :)
Me: Haha! That's just how I am with my friends. I think so too. There wasn't really anything going on with us. There wasn't really a jive.
Girl: Really. Ok. You win. Have fun.
Me: I will :) Thanks. Good night.

I honestly don't know what to make of that conversation but I'm glad it happened. I feel so much lighter now. I just wanted to share this with you guys since I've been a long time lurker here. I post here and there but I hope this counts for a contribution.

Going oneitis is dangerous, guys. ALWAYS have plates and spin'em. For the young guys, don't go ape-**** on being serious now. We're still young, there's still so much to happen in our lives. So much to live for, so much to accomplish.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Why be friends with her?

Glad you broke free of her. I would have cut the conversation much shorter.

There's still that nice guy in me and I'm friends with her much prettier older sister but rest assured. I don't want anything to do with her after tonight.

Yeah, I tend to drag on conversations but thanks, man. I'll keep that in mind. :box:

Tagz,

Something I've learned about myself. Every time I say "there's that nice guy in me..." that makes me do something, it is almost never me actually being a nice guy. It's usually me trying to cover up a self-serving ego thing... I.e. I say I'm staying friends with a girl because I'm a nice guy, but really it's because I'm hoping if I keep her around then one day she'll have some sort of epiphany about us.

All of a sudden, I don't sound like such a nice guy.

Not really, it's more devious than that. I'm not keeping her around really close but just close enough(facebook but I hid all posts and updates coming from her) so she can see who exactly she turned down. I want to show completely that it is her loss. It contributes to the factors that drive me to improve myself, my life and pushes me to get some one a heck of a lot better. I know it's wrong but if it helps me become a better person I'll do it. :D

Believe me, I don't plan on having anything special again with this girl because as far as getting a girl, my friends say it's so easy for me to get one given my status and I'm not bad looking either(I look decent, I think haha), but it was during those times I didn't believe them and I still didn't know enough how a female mind works or simply I didn't have the balls back then. Plus, the things she would bring to my plate wouldn't be that much. When she isn't teaching she just stays at their house doing house stuff, watching tv, facebook-ing, uploading pictures all the mundane things. Not exciting at all and all the pleasures, sensations I wanted to get from her can be given by any girl. What makes her so special? Only realized that tonight.
 

“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.
