"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.

Would be interesting to brainstorm all the fun things to do when you first call / text a girl. Or just see what works for people

For me, if there is a lot of connection (which I try to go for) I might give her a nick name and use it, otherwise I just the situation

Usually on the first text/call I always feel like I am about to write/say something dumb.. but as soon as the first one is finished it's casual and normal.

I remember someone saying to introduce yourself as "Hi <girl's name>, it's me"

but then I had funny results with this - girls thinking I was some other guy (And me busting them on that :whistle: )

Have at it.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

For me the only purpose in the first call is to set up a date. First off, on a personal note, I'm not a phone person anyway. I'm not one of these people who likes just chirping away on the phone for hours on end. Secondly, I think the purpose of the first call is to set up a date, and then get off the phone. Maybe say a few nice things like "how was work, how was your day, etc" then move on to setting something up. Once it's set, say you're busy and have to run. I think after you've banged a girl, and the ball is in your court, then you can spend some more time on the phone if you choose too. But prior to sexing her, I'd keep phone conversations to a minimum because you can't kino-escalate over a phone. You need physical chemistry to get in a girl's panties and you simply can't do that over the phone.

Well, yes but we don't want to be too stiff on the phone and too business like, do we?

So besides the how was your day, what would you say to achieve more chemistry?


I have some friends that spend hours on the phone. Two things - those relationships are really co dependent, they usually end ugly and I can't fathom doing it.
