when a girl said this about me:
What a guy
What a guy
"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 respond to this urgent

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'd say.. Depends on her tone or delivery.

You don't really give any context, pretty much always escalate. If you don't already have a date planned already, make one. If you do have one already scheduled, then respond back with something flirty but also ending the conversation by telling her you'll see her the day of your date.
A woman's attraction grows when she has time to think and wonder about you, so the more you text and the longer it takes you to make a date the less attracted she'll be to you.

"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.

^^This is probably best. But if you must respond:
HB: What a guy
LL: Don't tell anyone, you will ruin my rep

I sincerely hope this chick is your girlfriend. Please say she's your girlfriend.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You didn't do yourself any favors, I'll say that...
But what's done is done. I'd respond with
"Just don't tell your friends, I wouldn't want them trying to get with me every time you turn your back!
"My use of the emoticon is only to show I'm joking, I typically hate them but in this situation it's OK

Define "dating."
Have you had the opportunity to get know her carnally?
Are you talking to other chicks?
How was surprising a chick (who isn't your girlfriend,) with dinner suppose to benefit you?

We've been out on 8-9 dates, and I've cut off com. with my other ladies. I do like her alot, which is uncharted terrority for me.
I guess it was a stupid idea, because i just showed her I cared.

You didn't answer the questions. I didn't ask you those questions to f*ck off time out of my life.
Those questions are pertinent to your situation and your answers are designed to give posters on this thread the needed background information to give you the correct advice. With all of that being said, good ole Rex has four more questions,
Why do you like this chick so much?
What exactly did she do for you to like her so much?
Why did you drop your other chicks?
How was dropping your other chicks suppose to benefit you? Finally you should post a picture of this chick. Rex wants see what the chick who has you sprung looks like.

Here you go. I do appreciate the help
1.) No, i haven't b@nged her yet.
2.) Shes cool to hang out and got's her crap together.
3.) She hasn't done much at all. Paid for some thing but that all
4.) I wanted to be able to focus on her, then typically do my half @ss aprroach and get everything I can before I move on.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
