"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, we're in a commited relationship, but I'm kinda not too happy with it.
Is there a way to get back to "dating" phase and stop being exclusive to each other?

Is there a nice and polite way for me to convince her to accept that kind of relationship, after being commited for about a month or two?

Thanks!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

For one thing, you cannot go backwards in time. Also, if she's in this relationship with marriage or long term committment in mind, she'll drop your ass and find another guy who is willing to fulfill that need.

You're most likely going to have a breakup on your hands. However, her IL in you may go up if you're pulling back.
Saying something stupid like "I'm not really sure I'm ready for this relationship thing" may or may not get you the results you want. It's a hard call.

Well we told we love each other, and decided to become exclusive.

We don't date/fvck other people (at least I don't, that's for sure).

I'll never break my word, even though I now realise that I decided to become exclusive with her too soon.

Hi Desdinova!

I really love to hear your opinion!

She's too old for me, we both decided to stay together until I find someone else :rolleyes: or she finds someone older for a marriage :rolleyes:

I know this sounds stupid. Our relatioship doesn't seem to be that serious...

But I gave my word I wont **** anyone else!!! What can I do?

I'm thinking to pull back a little to get her IL higher, and then when it's on it's peak tell her something like "I can't be with you only", but in that way that she doesn't get hurt and decide to stay with me. (I don't want to break up because I can learn much from her).

I hope some expirinced DJs have some kind of solution?
 

"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.

I must admit i posted on how to break up with girls easy. I got no real responses. I think its something that you cant avoid. Just say you feel you jumped into a LTR too fast before thinking about it.

I still think its going to be very hard without breaking up.
