"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, talking to you from Heraklion Crete, where I'm training for the position of 2nd Lieuthtenant Infantry Machinegunner, for my 2 years compulsory army service in Cyprus. The army is an enormous experience, you mature and change in so many ways, and embrace the basics in life and the fact you're a man. If anyone has the opportunity to serve their country for a little time, I would reccomend it.

Anyway, to the point.
Recently my best girl friend back home sent me a very touching message, about missing me, loving me, me being whats missing in her life, how empty and lonely it is without me, which was quite pleasant considering where I am.
The thing is, this girl is hot, I would shag her anyday. So that causes mixed thoughts on my end. (That end too, haha.)

So my problem is this:

How do you handle girl friends who really do like you, love you, feel close to you? Do you apply some game and keep the door open, like c&f or anything else and move on flirts/compliments, or just completely treat her like a close friend, help with problems, do favours, things like that, things that you wouldn't do if you wanted to keep up/build attraction?

About a year or two ago when we first met I was fairly AFC, I've changed a lot and have a completely different mindset and attitude with life and women, but our relationship was based on very friendly support and things like that, I was 16 she was a few months younger, things like that. I'm 18 in December, she's 17 in a few days.

Any mature replies would be greatly appreciated, I'm not looking for a relationship with her really, I'm comfortable with how we are, but it would be good how to apply the DJ mindset to this area of life and how to curb any other feelings that crop up that mess things up.

Thanks guys, hope you're all loving life like you should :D
 

"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.

Thing is, she could just miss you, that'd be about it. She might not be sexually interested in you, but she just misses having you around. Happened to me twice.

1) Ask yourself plainly what you want. If you want to advance romantically, it means giving up friendship. However, if you keep a friendship, are you OK not having a romance? I've kept a couple of gals just as friends, watched them go into a relationship, and have mixed feelings. I felt happy they had someone, but a bit left out. My own doing, I know.

2) Given you don't see her all the time, you can't do a lot if you want to advance. You can C&F her to keep the tension.. "You miss someone like me, oh.. you have taste.." or whatever. People here can help. You can flirt with her, and see where that goes.

Take stock of what you have.. you have a connection, and comfort. If you throw in some tension, this could take off. She's willing to open herself to you, at least to tell you she misses you.. who knows?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
