"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.

It's been almost 4 years since i last spoke to this good female friend of mine. The last time i spoke to her was back in h.s.

All of a sudden at work today, i receive an instant message from her with her new screen name. Obviously 4 years ago she changed her screen name and never contacted me, until today. of course i always had her home #, but i never had a reason to call so i didnt bother.

She asks if i wanted to get togheter to shoot pool with 2 of her other friends (that i also happen to know), and i agreed. and we traded mobile #'s.

Although i find this a little strange and late. I'm actually glad she got in touch with me.

im not exactly sure how i should react when i see her. for all i know i could come off as fake, since i've changed so much over the years. Give her a big hug and continue the way we were?
 

"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.

Be friendly since she was cordial enough to ask you out. You wouldn't be out of line in asking her why she contacted you out of the blue.

Well it's fun that she thought about you.

Anything is possible; she might have a good memory about you and wants to approach you for herself, or she's thinking that one of her friends that she is bringing along will like you. Keep your options open and have fun.

WTF? No, she is not hot. and no i dont want to bang her. she's a cool person i can say. And was the only true female friend i've ever had ( i think).

Well if her intentions are to bang me, then so be it but i wont return the favor!

Ugh, anyway im sick of this ****, if her true intention is to **** me. screw you biatch!
 

"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.

Update:

well, went out to hang with her and her friends. played some pool and ate out. im surprised i didnt have to pay a penny, lucky me! Of course i didnt know they held that kind of tradition.

When i saw her i gave her a big hug. It's rare for me to give anyone hugs, but eh , hell why not?

I dont know why but when we're iwth people she's not really talkative, especially not with me anyway. At first i thought she was intimidated by me cause i changed so much, or maybe it was me cause i easily intimidate people.

But anyway as everyone parted, me and her were on the same path. We chatted quite a bit. Told me she worked at baskin robbins and her hours, and i told her i'd visit her this weekend...etc.

Anyways to cut the long sotry short, i didnt ask her why after 4 years she contacts me. But she did tell me that her friend joe (which i happen to know), mentioned to her that he'd seen me at college (we attended the same college), that i had gotten taller, etc. Which probably hinted to why she contacted me, to see how much i've changed. curiosity killed the cat right?
Now im just exhausted....

She hasnt changed much, and is still the same. But she's gotten prettier & taller i admit that!

I remember last fall i saw her with her bf in teh street. Im guessing they broke up and she began to think of me....and thus is where i am today.

Just take it easy. I bet you anything that she was bored one day and saw your #/SN and said "what the hell". HOWEVER...if you like what you see, play it cool and hook up on a date or something w/o the two others there. Maybe she did contact you for some other reason than just pool. See if she is genuinely interested and then DJ her off her feet. :D

Regardless if i am, i dont give a ****.

For a fact, i dont have that much friends. and the current ones i do have, we end up doing the same ****. she's a cool person and i'd rather have her as a friend. I happen to know her bro and her other friends. Altho the option of getting into her pants is probable, it would be the last thing on my mind.

But if anything were to happen down the line....it wouldnt have been unexpected.

I'd be careful, and definitely question her motives.

I think that you have more chance with her friends, to be honest, rather than her. Just another avenue to explore.
