"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.

Ok here's the deal... This HB8 and I went in same high school for our final year, had 2 classes that year spoke to one another only once.
We ended up at same university(small university), few lectures togheter have been seeing one another at gym/social events haven't spoken at all.
We're back in our hometown and see one another at malls and gym.
Everytime we see each other we just stare at each other, I can feel the tension and attraction. I would like to belive that she can too.

I wonder what you gentlemen think about this move.

*gym setting, she's doing her sets
me *go to her* say: Hi HB8
HB8: Hi
*all the time maintain strong eye contact
me: I had a dream about you
HB8: really? what was it about?
me: it went like this *brush her hair, touch her face and kiss her*

Again keep in mind we've been around one another for 3 years without speaking a word. I think that this has about 30-40% chance of succeeding, if it doesn't no big deal and if it does it'll be one of the smoothest pickups ever.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'd say no. Close to being lame, like the line: "Did it hurt, when you fell down from heaven?"

Now of course there is a slight chance it will work, but I think you should not do the whole, "I had a dream about you." tactic. She might think your crazy. That's the sort of thing you could do with a woman you know well, but I'd not advice you to do that to someone you have only spoken to once.

Crap... I neglected to mention that I would be trying that whole trance words/mirroring game BEFORE going for the kiss. Describing a dreamy setting, mention the two of us there, kissing passionatly, and then if her facial/body language say it's a go. Then go in for a kiss

Hmm, well then. I guess that does change things. Still, I think the whole dream thing may be to soon to use. I mean, if you two knew each other better, it would be fine; since you could just laff it off as a joke. Still, you have a shot and if you don't mind getting shot down. Of course, I can't say what will happen, so if you feel up to it then I'd say go for it. She might like that romantic style. Just be careful. ;)
