"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.

There is this girl I know from school, we've talked a few times (she was friendly, but I rarely saw her). Long story short, school ended and due to the lack times us seeing each other I did not get her digits (I know I ****ed up, but that's the past). Anyways, we are friends on facebook, so last Friday night she was online so I decided to chat her up and see what happens. During the chat, she was being playful, and asked me questions back (overall pretty good), and being flirtatious in a way. After 15 minutes of gaming her, I did a number close and she gave it. However, right before giving her digits she said , "I'll make your night" (insinuating that giving her number would give me great joy). My question is

HOW LONG should I wait to call her for a date? (considering the fact that I did get her number via Facebook which could mean that the longer I wait, the colder she could get OR considering the fact that she did make that comment, so calling too soon might make me come across as desperate)

Much appreciation to all of those who respond. Thanks
 

"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.

CALL HER. WTF. Don't worry about looking desperate. She wouldn't have given you her number if she didn't want you to have it. QUIT OVER-THINKING.
