"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.

One of my friends IMed me today telling me she lost her phone. I made a comment about what she will do when her ex calls her and tells her about how much he loves her and all that(she told me on friday that she broke up with her bf, but he keeps being clingy, w/e)

after a few IM exchanges, she tells me she wants to hang out tomorrow, so I set up something, just told her I'll give her a call tomorrow and we'll hang out, she asked where, but I kept her guessing( well actually i have no clue where we'll hang out lol)

I've never escalated before, how should I do this?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

FLIRT with her. Goddamn. How do you expect to progress forward if you were to never attempt to progress forward.

And WHILE you're flirting with her, teasing her or whatnot, you should be running game. I did it online again, just a work chick, but I chatted about mundane stuff, with a dash of flirting, and I blew it wide open when we got into age. And since I read people really well, I know she thinks I'm cute, even though she wouldn't tell me (Exact words from her being... "I don't give compliments easy, so take what you got and smile"), after I asked her for a rating on me on awesomeness and cuteness after she mentioned she thought I was cool.

Point being, you should never NOT flirt with a girl.

I flirt all the time, I hope it's enough

How will I know when to go for it though
When you either/combine;
- Setting it up on purpose. (Indirectly discovering her feelings though well selected questions, deductive reasoning)
- Kino Escalation + Give her that look
- Flat out sexual vibe. (You know I want to nail you, and I put it out for you to take me up on that)

Hell, maybe she'll come onto you without you doing a damn thing, that works too! :eek:


But that's it. There's no hard fast way about it. You either make it happen or you don't.
 

"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.
