After an intimate night together, I noticed that she suddenly started to avoid me. I asked her about it and she replied with that line. She said that she think it's best if she kept some distance with me. How should you respond?
"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.
"I don't know what happened... I'm not that kind of girl"
- Thread starter TheShadow
- Start date
"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.

sometimes girls do that, she is just playing difficult!
give her a bit of space for a couply of days and then call her... she will be happy that you did, just don't act weird

My guesses:
You screwed up somewhere. She had expectations of you, higher then you actually are, so she felt sorry about it afterwards.
E.G. u told her u were a sexanimal,but you were clumsy as hell.
That, or it's just ASD kicking in. You didn't treat her right, didn't play your cards right and thus she now feels like a slut.

"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.

Bingo. There you have it. She's probably never done this before? Maybe she felt dirty afterwards? Ashamed? Sometimes with new, taboo-like indulgences these sort of feeling do emerge afterwards.
Did you ever feel really guilty and shamed(by your folks) after your first time getting drunk when you're barely a teenager? Could be a simliliar situation.
First off: they're all that type of girl. Especially when noone in their wider social circle can find out, or only her close GFs - who are all keep each others secrets. (more info on this is covered in TylerDurden's Secret Society concept).
You did a good job of "seducing" her and she went with her feelings of the moment (chicks do that, guys run on logic). The moment, however, is now over.
She feels like she acted like a slut and you now remind her of this. She also thinks you probably now think she is easy. She therefore avoids you.
Mystery refers to this as "fool's mate". You screwed her before you had built enough "comfort" between the two of you. That's just FYI, I'm not calling you a fool or anything.
Did you just meet or how long have you known her and was this the first time you hung out on a one on one level?

How long have you known her?
Think your problem is you didnt really gain enough rapport with her. I'm guessing you probably gamed her for 30 mins and layed that day or some other day and then first time yall kissed yall made out and ended up having sex.
When i want one night stands i don't really gain much rapport and try to go for the lay and then next day they end up wanting space or flake.

"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.
I think it has to do with you being a little wuss and posting at this board for serious reasons. Everyone knows that the people here that post here for a serious purpose are not trying to improve their life, but fill a void. They're all online users. Go Jerk off.

There is nothing wrong my friend
First of all there is nothing wrong with your girl. And second all those that tell you to get lost say that because they do not understand your problem and can’t give helpful advice therefore they tell you you’re an AFC and get lost.
You sound young and your girl sounds to me like a young virgin with a conscience. Which is a good thing unless you’re a person with no morals.
You see, many youths have further found premarital sex to be bitterly disappointing. The result? Feelings of guilt and diminished self-respect.
A boy may find that his feelings for the girl are not as intense as before; he may even find her less attractive. A girl, on the other hand, may feel exploited.
Some youths feel no guilt whatsoever about having relations, and so they go all out for sensual gratification, seeking sex with a variety of partners. Researcher Robert Sorensen, in his study of teenage sexuality, observed that such youths pay a price for their promiscuity. Writes Sorensen: “In our personal interviews, many [promiscuous youths] reveal . . . that they believe they are functioning with little purpose and self-contentment.” Forty-six percent of these agreed with the statement, “The way I’m living right now, most of my abilities are going to waste.” Sorensen further found that these promiscuous youths reported low “self-confidence and self-esteem.”
I believe Proverbs said it best: Those engaging in immorality “give to others [their] dignity.” - Proverbs 5:9
Do not hate her because she pushes you away. She is probably feeling that is all you want from her nothing more. If you care you will do what you must do to make her feel like that isn’t the case. Words are good but actions are much better.
