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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Under what condition's did you met her the first time,was she pissed?Originally posted by Okra
I just slept with a hot black chick last weekend (the same night I met her). We were hanging out again this weekend and she gave me very little eye contact and looked away (and in all kinds of directions) when I looked at her. She seemed like she was having a good time, but I'm just wondering what this behavior means.
please help
thanks in advance

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
no because she talks about other plans and hints at having sex againOriginally posted by DonJuanMonk
Would you stop using /slashes/ for your posts?
Okra, she may be looking away/not giving you eye contact because it could be her way of not being interested in you.
You mentioned that she slept with you on the first night you met her. She could either be feeling shameful about the experience or that she just wanted this to be a one time deal. Anyways, the best thing I can recommend for this situation is to let her know you're gonna break things up, leave her, and don't talk to her.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
