"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.

Ok so I've contacted this woman from myspace, she asked for my aim screen name, then I asked for her phone number. I called her a few days later to set up a dinner date (since coffee is boring imo and you have more to talk about).

Later I find that she's been calling my phone twice, sent me messages in my inbox and asked if I was around on IM. I replied to her IM, and only confirmed that we were still on for Friday night. Then she comes asking out of the blue:

[11:06] HB: why u want to meet up?
[11:06] me: I'm interested in knowing more about you
[11:09] HB: May I ask u a question?
[11:10] HB: Are u expecting more after dinner?

My initial reaction was a one night stand type of thing, and this confirmed it. (English is not her first language)

[11:13] HB: how about hook-up?

I get a call (again) asking to push it from 8pm to 9pm for work and now just a few minutes ago, I get a text message saying she can't make it because she has to work tonight. Not once did she mention that earlier. I'm not going to pursue her, but I can't help thinking what would cause her to change plans so quickly.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

Well, you've never even met her, so there's no way to go back and figure out if you could have done differently.

I mean, she could be some guy with a fake profile pranking you, so don't give it another thought.

Wasn't a guy since I talked to her on the phone, and pics werent fake either.

I'm just wondering if she's embarrassed about wanting to hookup so easily, unless I'm overlooking something else.

My own experience is that if a girl asks what I'm looking for then it's usually because she wants to say no. It also implies that she is putting you in the same category as other guys who want something from her.

A reframe is best: "What makes you think I'm expecting anything?"

Perhaps a better reframe for that would be "Whatever happens, happens. If we click and something happens, then that's great, but if not, that's also fine."

This implies that you're not coming from a place of scarcity, and that you're not going to put too much pressure on any one situation or any one girl. Very attractive qualities to have, IMHO.
