First dates are also awkward for two people who don't really know each other. Sometimes it is difficult to have fun when their is anxiety floating around.
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.
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.
Racial theories? Since when do I have racial theories? Yes, I have talked bad about Muslims and Islam, but last I checked...they don't fit into the category of race.diplomatic_lies said:You're not talking about your racial theories on dates, are you?

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.
HAHA, seriously that quote would go perfect to Brian from Family Guy.diplomatic_lies said:You're not talking about your racial theories on dates, are you? Talking about politics can make me lose a stiffy.
Maybe that is because I do not look Northern European.....I could pass for a Turk.Phoenix_of_the_ashes said:Why not friendly? I love Berlin.
