"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, I am new in this town and didn't know anyone so I meet this UG off the internet. I just wanted someone to hang out with occassionally and talk with. So we hung out last weekend and it was pretty good. We got along, but I'm not interested at all!

Now, she calls me and IMs me CONSTANTLY! She always wants to do stuff. I can't keep making excuses. She'll want to eat dinner with me or go with me to do laundry or go to the gym. I can't be like, "oh I'm not eating today." It's INSANE! She puts me on the spot like, "I want to see this movie with YOU. Will you see it with me?"

If I say something like "oh, I'm busy now and wanted to watch this game," she'll say like, "oh, I'll watch it with you." Or, "well, after that, call me."

This girl is RELENTLESS. I don't want to burn all bridges here b/c like I said I don't really have friends here. Unfortunately the few friends of her I have met are weird and ugly, but there are some others that I haven't met yet. How can I get her to stop harassing me?

Either that, or I will have to tell her to lose 40 lbs., get a tan, and clear her skin up, and get a new hairstyle, and get rid of her loser friends.
 

"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.

That's kinda too much to ask bro. Seems like maybe she's got some issues of her own, if you have the time and don't mind company, maybe she can hang out. But make it clear you don't see anything romantically with her so she knows the real deal.

Dude, come on! Why in the fvck would you want to be friends with a chick like this? From the way things sound, this girl has absolutely no positive qualities. Just because you are new somewhere doesn't mean you should lower your standards out of boredom. If you want a chickensh!t way out just say "look you're a nice girl (lie) but I think I gave you the wrong impression. I still have a girlfriend back in...(insert locale)." If she says that's fine I want to be your friend blah blah...Say well that's cool but I've got a new job and I am working 40+ hours a week now. Don't call me I'll call you.'

Or you could grow a pair and be truthful with her...I prefer the latter...

What is it that you want anyway man? Do you want her as a friend to hang out with? Do you want her so that she can introduce more people to you?

C'mon man. You seem like you're relying too much on others. What the hell are you doing relying on her to meet new people for?

If you hate her harassing you, then stop talking to her and don't hang out with her. If you want to meet other people, do it yourself. Don't freakin use someone you obviously dislike to do it for you. That's really low.
 

"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 suppose if you're perfectly alright with using someone you clearly dislike to get to her friends, it's fine. I just personally find it to be a lousy trait.

1. ignore her phone calls and IM's

OR

2. Just be honest and let her know that shes smothering you

OR

3. Keep making excuses. Tell her you have a GF now or w/e.
