"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.

Before I get into this, I just want to say that I have a great relationship with this woman, we get along great 98% of the time, and I feel like we communicate pretty well with each other. However, there is one thing I've noticed that I can honestly say I have no idea how to deal with.

I called my girlfriend on the phone tonight and talked with her for about 10 minutes. Her roommate was in the room, and I felt that she was talking to her roommate equally as much as she was talking to me. I felt it was kind of rude, and she noticed that I was a little upset about it, so I said something about it. She turned it around on me and something something to the lines of "OK, I'll make sure to keep you separated so you don't get all pissy like this again", in a really sarcastic tone, like it was MY fault that she did something that annoyed me and I communicated it to her. I just wanted a little respect while we talk on the phone, I didn't expect her to shoot back some wise-ass comment back at me. And then she got into this discussion of how I've been acting weird over the past week, ALL OVER SOME STUPID BULLSH1T.

How the f*ck do you handle this? Is this just something all women do that I'm not aware of (or completely forgot about while I was single)??
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

It's not kinda rude, it IS rude.

Just tell her to call you when she's ready to give all her attention to you. I don't get women like that. Not all women are like that. Even if I am pissed at my BF, I wouldn't be rude to him. There's no need for that.

At times I wonder if I should be a man instead of a woman.

some people may think thats not that big a deal. some may think its rude. in your case you thought it was rude, expressed yourself, and she turned it around on you.

your best option at that time was to tell her that she can call you back. you let yourself get upset, verbalized your emotions, and she responded as if you were making a mountain out of a moehill.

dont let yourself get upset over such trivial things, because in this case, her response was far more worse than the original issue.

The issue here is you being so womanised upto the point where you "get upset", because your g/f is talking to another person.

Personally, I'd think "Fvck this" *phone down*. WHEN she rings back, she gets told "You were having a conversation with someone else". No room for discussion or debate.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
Ah yes the early signs of trouble... There is another dude peaking her interest. She has started the process of disconnecting you..

SOLUTION!?

Stop all communication with her for 4 days then on 5th day flatly say you wee busy.. oh and go get you 2 other women cause your gonna need them soon.
 

"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.

You're too damn available to this woman. How do I know this? Because while she has you on the phone, she's talking to her roommate. Stop being up her butt. If she wants to talk to her roommate then politely let her go. Then let her call you when she starts to miss you, but tell her you're busy at the moment. Tell her you'll call her back as soon as you get a chance. You've got to control the frame here, not her.

This is what women do when you're too available. They lose interest. Don't wear out you welcome.

Your relationship just got real! Don't expect perfection. Work things out.

If that happens again you say: "Hey I gotta go i'll call you later."

How to handle this? You just ignore it and move on.
