That does not sound like a date it sounds like some BS you should turn down...
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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Last week Wednesday she broke it off again, but for the whole of February till then we were sweet hearts. She bought me a $300 dollar watch for Valentines Day and I tried reciprocating buy taking her to a fine dining seafood restaurant. We did a lot together since getting back and I still love her, although now I'll really just do the no contact thing. The last time we were together was last week Monday we went to Sea Life Park down here in Hawaii but that was the first time I noticed her starting to act flaky with me again, but prior to that it was even better than before the holidays of last year. 2 Fridays ago, the weekend before the Monday outing we went to the clubs and I noticed she started hanging around her girlfriends again and I think that has a lot to do with it, although I'd also say I was turning afc and talking to her every time she'd call which was 4 times a day and hanging with her 3, 4 days of the week. On the Monday after Sealife Park we got to her side of the island which is about roughly 20 miles from where I live and we got into an argument so I caught the bus home, she's the one that owns a car. She called me on Wednesday morning as she usually does to wake me up for work, then I started bringing up Monday and then it went downhill from there, and she hung up on me. After that I never tried calling her and to this day none of us made contact. Now I've come back and checked this site again for inspiration cause my spirit is broke again but I don't feel as bad, but still a little sad cause she really knew how to show good love. I don't have much but she showered me with material things, exotic dinners, paid for the outings lent me her car even if I didn't have a license and gave me sex everytime I wanted. So yeah that's what happened. My head is telling me to just move forward and don't look back and that's the plan. I don't think I'll answer if she ever calls, but it hurts to break this connection we had. What's your thoughts?MacAvoy said:Welcome back Jake. Whatever happened with Carmen?
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.
