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.

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.
Who cares?GeraldHenderson15 said:I didnt wanna do anything cuz we were with a group of people
I have to agree with you and the same goes for emails. Mainly everything you READ in a text or email is all bullsh*t that is impossible to interpret in any meaningful way. Why? Because like you said, body language and reactions to non verbal communication is EVERYTHING, like proximity, touching, eye contact, etc. Written words are just small talk not to be taken seriously or interpreted as anything but that. I've had girls write some things to me that had me thinking, damn, she must be in love with me. Nope, I was wrong.Maximus Rex said:Dude you're new here.

6) DON'T TEXT!
Why You Need To Stop Texting
Is it a generational thing, but I seem to view texting as a crutch and a cop out. For me at least, the phone is analogous to a hammer. A hammer is a tool used to build things. For a the phone is tool used facilitating contact with a chick so that make arrangements to see her at some time in the future. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm not a texter and I damn sure don't want to get into long a$$ text conversations with females.
Reason being, is that there's certain subtle nuances and IOI's (body langague,) that can only be picked up in live interactions, also the same is true in for phone conversations to a lesser extend.
Yet instill I see guys on here trying to intrept and disect text messages. I see text messaging as a "virtual barrier," between myself and the target. Trying to run game via texting, doesn't mean anything to me, because it doesn't seem real. The text message doesn't respresent a person, but more of rainbow after a rainstrom. It looks pretty, but we can so wrapped into chasing it until it eventually disappers.
I need face-to-face contact. I need to see how you're responding to my game, I need you right there in front of me, so I see if I proceed forward, or make an adjustment. For all you guys that insist upon texting, could you please explain to me how, you can dicipher these subtlities, when all you have is words on a small LCD screem.
Also, I detect a slight adverision to cold approaches on Sosuave. If you guys aren't doing cold approaches, where the hell are you meeting woman at? It one of the fundamental premises of pick up is the ability to approach woman we have no familiarity with and get them to like us? If you're not doing cold approaches, aren't you SEVERELY limiting the woman of you're coming into contact with? How can you get better, if you're not approaching? Again, I need somebody to explain these things to me. Thanks.
I really beg to differ. Texting takes so much pressure off of both parties. It's so god damn efficient, too. You can use literally the same format to ask out girls over and over (I do it on the first text and indicate who's texting by signing the first text with "-blueline"). If you read her properly when you were working her before you closed her number, you will know whether or not the number is going to work out. Most of the numbers that I get that turnout to be interested girls are from girls I madeout with before getting their number. It's not that the makeout creates interest, it's just the strongest IOI outside of sex.st_99 said:I have to agree with you and the same goes for emails.

So anything other than, "Come over my house right now please" can't be read much into.
This was mainly my point. I'm not saying to never text or that it has no use. I'm just saying you should never take whats written and try to judge her interest from it. Save that for when you're in person.blueline said:do not get excited about a number (or even date) unless you already got good non-verbal signals from the girl.
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.
