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.

EDIT: It could be because you can't spell and have poor grammar...

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.

Guys, stop complaining and get stick to the topic.
The best way to keep a girl's desire to spend time with you is by keeping her interested in you. This answer should be an obvious one.
How to do that? Be charming, funny, sweet, fun, and let her ENJOY your company...

I'm assuming that you did know those mistakes, and were mocking him.
You do have a point though. I personally don't mind the odd spelling and grammar mistakes as much as those ****ing tools who come on, write a post in 15 seconds, and are totally incoherent when you go to read it.
Well, of course it's going to be hard, if you're not naturally a funny, I can be ****y, but being funny isn't one of my strong points and a lot of times when I'm ****y, it comes off as being assholish. But this isn't my topic to debate in.Originally posted by Holland
If you believe that it's going to be hard then it's gonna be hard.
If you just have fun, and enjoy yourself first it will be a lot easyer. Maybe you're trying to hard to be funny, charming and an enjoyment to be around. Or maybe you're not doing anything at all.
The fact is that you just got to be relaxed en laidback. You just have to make sure you enjoy the interaction YOURSELF.
You have conflicting tenses. "We were" is grammatically correct.Originally posted by bluelemond

What is wrong with this you may ask?
You're right,
(Complete sentence, contractions are bad English.)
CORRECT: You are right.
im asking WAY TOO MUCH for people to spell correctly... (Capitalize your first word, contractions need ', again contractions are bad English, do not capatilize words for no reason, and your ... does not make sense because it is a complete sentence and you are not leaving out anything.)
CORRECT: I am asking way too much for people to spell correctly.
my deepest apologizes.
(Again capitalize your first letter in the sentence, however, you did use an implied subject and verb correctly, but "apologizes?" I do not get it. Do you mean apologies? Apologizes doesn't not exist. Ex: "I apologizes" or "We apologizes" It do not exist. I believe you are looking for a plural noun "Apologies.")
CORRECT: My deepest apologies.
CORRECT: You are right. I am asking way too much for people to spell correctly. My deepest apologies.
That was a complete waiste of my time.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

No.
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.
