"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.
How should I reply?
- Thread starter SayWord?
- Start date
"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.
Its to soon for that. I need something a little subtleHandyAndy said:"Buttsecks"
I'm going to try that out. When she replies ill updateSlick101 said:From where can I start eating you?
Update
Me:where can I start eating you?
Her:I'm not sure what you mean by that...and I'm not sure if I want to know.

I seriously dont even know how to combat her response back.I mean Id say its game over for now but Im sure other guys here would know something cause Im stuck even trying to figure something logical to say without making you look even stupider sorry man
I don't really take the internert serious. I like to play around. Btw, this chick and I are on pof.com if that matter619joe said:I wouldnt have gone with that man.Its a random response yes but although I love that sort of stupid ****,any random wierd guy woulda said that and it doesnt really get you anywhere.You shoulda just kept her mind wandering on what you were gonna do bro.She didnt know and she was interested in finding out I bet,but you just creepified it out."Its a pretty crazy idea,id tell ya but (facebook,myspace) would probably block all the contents of the message for it being too raunchy" <Thats taking it a lil to the extreme but high risk=high reward at times.If shes DTF and not shy,i would said something along those lines

Infact Ill see a girl online (friend) and just say "rawrrrr".Random?Yes but it can lead to more stupid **** like her saying "woof" and keep playing around with it.One time I ended up saying "meooow" and then replying "crap i picked the wussiest animal ever to immitate!ill just stick with the tiger for now".
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
