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 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.

old stories are good, but this is 2014, things have changed, this isn't 50-60 years ago.BetterCallSaul said:Then people attack the guy for his actions? This is a great example I think of how drastically our society has changed over the past, say 50-60 years.
I can remember a couple of stories from my dad talking about my grandpa and how he'd get royally pi$$ed at his wife for something.
Talking about her calling the police, getting other people involved, this might be construed as assault?

any force against women like that can land you in jail or get a visit from the police, that ain't worth it to prove you're a "tough guy" to some lousy chick.
all she has to do is get pissed off enough, make the call, and they will come to investigate, if they find reasonable evidence of assualt you will go to jail, that ain't worth it.
i remember this guy at my old apartment, he roughed up some latina chick, she called 4 guys over to beat the sh!t out of him.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
There's a semi-well known story of John Lennon doing basically this when he was married to Yoko Ono. They were at a party, and he disappeared into a bedroom with some chick. There followed a lot of loud noises of lovemaking while Yoko sat in the living room, embarassed. Apparently she was extremely p!ssed off at him over this. Not because he had sex with the girl, but because he humiliated her at the party.backbreaker said:a real pimp calls up a side peice in front of her, has her come over, goes into the other room and has sex with her while this girl is in the living room.
