"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.

Girlfriend's male colleague hitting on her

I'm lying in bed with my girlfriend and she's telling me how one of her male colleagues (whom I know) wants her bad. How he stares at her a$$ constantly, once touched her a$$ on a work drinks do and he texts her and even asks to meet up. She asks if I am jealous. She goes on to say he is good looking then says very good looking and that he is very intelligent. She also shows me the whats app messages between them. This is one he sent her: Image from http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ur26c-say-it-fast.jpg.

The first question that springs to mind is why is she telling me this?
 

"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.

This. Just don't give her the idea that you're TRYING to not care. You need to genuinely come across as just not caring, if she thinks you care too much or you try too hard to not care it's a negative in either case.

$300 on C. This is 2015, writing off blatant disrespect to your face re: other men as a "sh1t test" is woefully naive. I would dump her, I don't fvck with this anymore. Plus you should have dumped her by now anyway based on your past threads about her. http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=224207

Yes. I agree.

Just dumped her. At the moment Shes throwing a hissy fit and calling me every name under the sun.

Will have to cancel the table we had booked for tonight.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Great job! Her calling you names, will only give you reassurance that you made the right decision.

Its usually a bad sign when a woman (for lack of a better word) brings up another guys name. It has always ended in disaster in just about every case I've ever seen. Glad you hit the eject button before she did. Good job soldier :up: now go out there and screen better next time.

Exactly.

Sylvester, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you admit to enjoying BPD chicks some time back? If so, I understand, hard as it may be to admit, I too like to get tangled up with girls who are a bit unstable, but there's often a price to pay - a precipitous one at that, all too often - and here it is ...cash, check, or credit card???

I fully accept that occasional sh1t tests are to be expected from a woman you're dating, but flagrant disrespect? Pair's right - completely unacceptable. What's next? He 'accidentally' sends a pic of his c0ck which she later shows to you? "Sylverster, look! Ugh! Can't believe he did that!"

She will show you whatever you want after you dumped her. Don't believe her for a moment. She probably blocked him a minute ago just to show you and make you regret.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yeah she blocked him and made me watch her do it saying 'everything's alright now?'

Oh wow, that was fast! Good move. Of course she's pissed - you just threw a monkey wrench in her little love triangle.

And here I thought I was going to have to read through 5 pages of denial before anything was done.

Good job Sylvester!

Yup I did say that. But the drama is more than I'm wiling to bear. As an afc I would have mistaken this tension for love but not no more.

I mean who tells their boyfriend about their colleague is hitting on them and continues to keep in contact with them? Surely a good girlfriend would tell him to stop contacting her outside of work.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

She's in absolute tears. An hour before our valentines meal was scheduled. She's literally clinging onto me and begging me not to dump her saying she doesn't want to live without me swearing blind nothing happened with this guy.

I'm just lying here with her blubbing on top of me. This isn't easy.

Honestly you are too old for these childish games as many have said.
If a Co worker is doing that WHY not call sexual harassment ? Unless she enjoys it ( Which I think she does )
And to purposely rub it in your face just to get a reaction & so she can call you insecure is plain stupid. Good call breaking up , I don't approve on V day but hey your call.

Next time ask your self , does BEYONCE go to Jay Z and tell him Kanye is rubbing her ass ?

:crackup: :crackup: OMG, She's ****ing hilarious, hahaha.

Some girls are just insane.
 

"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.
