"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 think she may just be friendly or...

Hey All,
Maybe I'm thinking way to much. That's what my fraternity bros tell me during my last year of college.

I would like to think I have a shot with this humbling 21yr old girl. I'd say there are signs pointing to possibly ante'ing up the stakes.

She's blossoming between my best bud and I and being more extroverted through the same network of friends of ours.
I don't want to jump the gun although I want to know, if any, to romanticize a bit. I guess, I don't want to underestimate her outgoing-ness.

How to raise the stakes in a cool, calm, and collected manner?

I've heard of listen to her behavior advice;
Recent event: I walked into our college study room, and I see my bud John. I placed my backpack on the desk. As soon as I turn around to walk out and get coffee from next door, I see the girl and another acquaintance, Dude. Either, They met up unintentionally before reaching the study room or intentionally. Either way this plays into my friendly theory. Well we all study. Independently. My bud from see's me from outside, opens the door, & asks if I'd like donuts. I return with donuts and surprisingly she remembers that I mentioned donuts was what I decided to give up for my Lent.

See, I probably my just be overthinking. Thought Input would be grateful yall!

"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.

So someone offers you donuts, a girl remembers you said something about donuts earlier and now you think she's into you?

Just ask her out dude!

I don't even understand half of what you wrote...

" My bud from out of no-wheres see's I from outside, opens the door, & asks if I'd like donuts. I return with donuts and surprisingly she remembers that I mentioned donuts " WTF?

Yeah, stop being so tentative and just ask her out brah.

You can't calculate her exact emotions or opinion of you.

Plus her remembering you said/did something doesnt mean she likes you.

always Assume Attraction.

To many men these days with this passive aggressive attitude, take charge

Chat her up and try to get her out on a date. If she declines, fine, her loss, and you move on to bigger and better females. Which is certainly better than contemplating if she's interested in you or not.

And two tips:

1. I would refrain from using real names. This is a public forum and all it takes is the right Google search & BAM! The Female see's her name and recognizes her situation you described, and you got yourself an awkward conversation.

2. Improve your English just a Tad bit more. SgtSplacker is right to inquire wtf were you saying in that last bit. LOL

Assume attraction. If she doesn't bite, forget it and try on another one. Life is much simpler this way and you'll get more of what you want while expending relatively less effort than you are right now.
