No I said I will not do anything UNLESS she try try to reach out first. Like Tic TC said I will act like she is dead to me until then.
"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 pissed off a girl at work and she made a harassment compliant against me
- Thread starter Speculator E
- 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.

I asked three very specific questions? What is your vocation? What is your salary from said vocation? Do you like what you do?

I know. I'm not answering the first two. Job is a job but I like it. I have a back up job I can do from home.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

My advice to you, and follow this carefully grasshopper, is the following:
- Aplogize publicly to this girl, within your workplace.
- Go to the appropriate bosses and let them know her complaint is valid and it was your fault not hers.
- Send her a card, or something special. Tell her how you feel. Express your emotions to her. Don't be afraid of being vulnerable. Just be you.
- Make sure she knows that all her actions were valid and ok. Make her feel special. She will open like a flower to you.
Hopefully you can then date this girl and get back on track. Who knows, you may even end up in an LTR/Engaged situation in a while.
Anyway. Best best, of luck.

There's nothing done that has been my fault. She made a complaint because I didn't ask her out for New Years. I never did anything even remotely close to harassing her. She's not getting anything from me until she apologize first.

Guys , it's fate...........whatever the fvck that means.
She doesn't have a case if you play right.
What evidence does she have of you bothering her?
If there is no evidence - i.e no witnesses to your verbal behaviour, no sappy written communication from your end.
Deny it, it's her word against yours.
Then turn it around on her, file a complaint for being unlawfully accused.

"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 the best thread on sosuave. I'm not sure how we can top this, but we'll find a way
On topic: kidnap her from her home at night and lock her in your dungeon. A few days in a dark windowless place should allow her to come around to your side when youre feeling merciful enough to let her out, I think its called "Stockholm syndrome" and it's quite romantic.
If that doesn't work then you're gonna need to watch the movie saw 2. You'll know what to do after that.
Trust me, itll work. Good luck

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

I have been through this kind of stuff at work, and let me tell you something, TRUST NOBODY. You want to fight this like you mean it?? Then read below.
- EMAIL your supervisor AND your HR department and advise them that your legal advisor suggests that any and all future correspondences about this matter be in writing ( So who is your legal advisor? Right now, you are your own legal advisor, "pro se". But this statement will make them think you have a lawyer even though you likely don't. They will assume you do. Legally you can always be your own "legal advisor" and call yourself such. It makes people think you have hired a lawyer and they get scared.. )
- Write up a letter with your side of the story with as much detail as possible.
- In the letter, say that you want a copies of the letter and all attached Exhibits put in your personal file at work, and that you will be reviewing your file in the near future to make sure this happens
- In the letter, advise that you want the chick advised to never speak to you again at work, and that you want written proof that she was advised such
- Find any tangible evidence you might have to help give your side of the story, like any text messages. Print screen shots of them and include them with your letter as "Exhibit A", "Exhibit B", etc.
- Number all of the pages of the packet, 1 of 20, 2 of 20, etc. Sign your full signature next to each page number
- Get he letter Notarized
- Send the entire packet of papers to your supervisor and the HR Director via certified US Mail
So now you have documented your side of the story and your employer knows you are serious about these allegations and are not screwing around.
The other things you have done outside of work are good too. if you seriously even think about dating this chick again, you are one damn fool, but I don't think you are that stupid.
Best of luck.

Update:
Girl is warming up but still giving the silent treatment. However she keeps walking pass by my office space more often lately. Wearing tight clothes when she knows I'll be around. It's a lot of indicator of interest. But when I ask her today if she wanted to talk and she just shakes her head. Still it's an improvement over her angrily shouting at me last time. So far I'm been in no contact until today.
Why is she still putting up resistance? Does she want me to chase?

1) Why do you even care? Even if she wants you to chase, this girl is NOT worth your time
2) Do you want to lose your job?
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
