"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.

Hey guys I need some help with a little situation.

So I'm a substitute on a school and last week I meet a new coworker. She is 20 and I'll be it next month, just so you guys know what the age "difference" is.

She looks great so and as one would expect we started to have a little chat. The thing is though that it is she who always seem to start the conversations which of course is great because it just shows that I've displayed some nice value. We met at work 4 times last week. Friday morning she comes up to me and says that she tried a search for me on facebook, but that she couldn't find me. I explain to her that I don't have facebook and why I don't have. I also tell her that I only use MSN, I cut the thread and we start talking about something else. Just as she is about to leave that same day she asks me if she could have my MSN to which I say reply "sure no problem". My thought at the time was "awesome, she is actually asking me for my MSN not the other way round".

Had a busy weekend so never talked to her till Monday (yesterday) where we had a nice chat on MSN (at least I thought that we had), and she talked about how she hoped to see me at work soon (it's a part-time job where they call us in the morning if any of the teachers have a sick day).

Unfortunately there wasn't any work for us today. I log onto my PC and write to her about what a dumper it is that they haven't called any of us. We chat for awhile and she asks what I've planned for the rest of the day. I said that I had to work at 16:00 and I ask if she had something in mind since she asked, to which she replied "just wanted some inspiration". I then ask what she's got planned; "I think I'll go to the gym at 15.30" - we then start talking about fitness and stuff like that and I say that I actually would like to try out the towns' new gym (at which she works out) and it would be cool if we could go there together. She liked the idea but she said that she might not to able to make if I had to leave at 16 for work. I say ok, just let me know. So no answer till 15 where I write to her that I would be off, to which she replied "I'll be there in 30 min.". At 15.45 I leave the gym and never saw her there :(

Now I'm back here at my PC, been sitting here for 2 hours now and she has been online all the time. She haven't apologized for her bad timing. I want to start a conversation but I keep talking myself that this isn't really a bad deal.

What should I do? Let she start a conversation or should I (if yes, how? A little neg like "So did your clock stop working?"?). I really want to know her better, she seems like a pretty cool girl and she seems really smart.

Sorry for any bad language, I'm not English as you might be able to read ;)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hey

I don't date coworker, I guess I should say that first.

In your case though, it looks like she's looking for a friend. You said she's new right? She might not know anyone there yet. Still, just by respect of yourself, you should tell her that you were expecting her to be there. Don't let anyone flake on you without saying something about it.

Later,

Well, she isn't really a coworker, we just got lucky that so many had sick days.

She just wrote as I post this.:rockon:
