"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.

So today after i got off of work i was walking down the street when i saw this smoking hot lady all dressed up in tight pants, high heels, tight top walking towards me. Normally what i would do is just look down or avoid eye contact when i come across a beautiful lady as she was, as i am shy with hot girls.

Not sure what got into me this time but as i saw her walking towards me, i said to myself that i was going to stop her, say Hi and try talking to her. So thats just what i did and i'm very proud of myself.
Maybe i was wrong for saying this but i basicly told her that she was extremely beautiful and that i really liked her nails. Also said if i could take her to dinner some day.

Unfortunately she said she had a boyfriend but thanked me for my complement and that she just got her nails done yesterday. Made some little small talk and she said she was on her way to the gym. Before i left i shook her hand and ask her name.

I feel great, yeah i was turn down by a hot chick but if i had the balls to speak to her, i can talk to any girl on the street now. My confidence is really high right now and i will talk to more girls tomorrow. Man......she was really sexy.
The way she was dressed, i don't think i could afford her anyway :p
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Next time asks for drinks. Forget the dinner. Or coffee, or lunch, but anything but dinner. It's too formal in my opinion for meeting someone off the street.

Yes, do an "instant date" while she is in your grasp..

Dinner is too formal under the circumstances. Even if she agreed on the spot, the chances of her flaking are sky high.

I don't think that's a rejection man. You just didn't get accepted into a relationship with her. Stop thinking dude, there is more life ahead.

good for you, for the approach!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You don't stop a hot girl and tell her she's extremely beautiful. Maybe pretend to ask her where's the nearest toilet or something, then get a conversation going from there and seal the deal with her number.

When you get this **** down approaching and telling her she's extremely beautiful will work, but yeah there are other things to say as well. What you say really doesn't matter. It's what you convey.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Good job. Try not complementing HB8.6+ at the sport. She knows ( or has been complemented several times) of her beauty by other chumps.

Your approach could've been minorly improve, follow some of the posters above comments......but you deserve a pat on the back man. Good job. You have done what many will not do. In time you will soon be beating off the babes with a stick.

That's great to hear. A lot of guys wouldn't even approach the HB10 due to being scared and intimidated, but you were able to do that. This HB10 - because of her physical attractiveness - may be a little too picky and be missing out on a great guy (you). The best thing though is that it's given you confidence to approach more girls, you're definitely headed in the right direction.

I've said two lines off the top of my head that worked in getting a number when told that "she has a boyfriend."
-Do you want two boyfriends?
-You wouldn't date a man who would date a woman who can't make her own decisions, now would you?

The fact that you approached was very commendable. *handshake* (provided you didn't whack off after this rejection)

Saying that she was beautiful was not so much so. The nail compliment would have worked just fine if used alone.

Also, you would have been better off making a date-on-the-spot as opposed to hooking up later for dinner (AFC move folks). Maybe that's why she dropped the bf line on you? Reread jophil's answer. Then reread Fertile Turtle's answer for some witty comebacks the next time this line is dropped on you.

Also, dime pieces don't always go for rich guys. Keep this is mind and your head up like you did here! :rockon: :yes:
