If a girl gives you her number in AIM chat and it's clear she is interested in you, should you call her right away or wait a day?
"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.

- Thread starter My Name is Nobody
- 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.

because she gave her number it is certain there are some interest in you.

Call her when you want, and when you actually have stuff to talk about. I never follow a timer on when I should call a girl. I call her when I have plenty to say and feel like talking to her.
This prevents boring convos.

Don't call her right when she gives it to you over AIM, that's just retarded. Like Dannyrt34 said, call her when you are going to ask her out or have something to say. Otherwise you can just continue your convo over AIM.

I got numbers of AIM, called them on the spot and asked em to come over... it works.. there is a difference when you met the person live and let their imagination fly, vs seeing text... talking on the phone, puts some of your text in context.... its like some of the people read my mental abuse stuff and totally got it wrong, but if i was to do an audio they would get a better understanding of it..
by the way.. im almost 29 yo
I was one of the FIRST and ORIGINAL people on AIM (had all the best names that you cant get today like, Lookn4love, HotBody4U etc etc ...
at that time, all cool screen names were for the taking. SexyGuy lol
this was a time where there were no pix.. you would literallly just describe yourself.. i was 15 yo then and i would get these absolutley models to hook up with.. unbeliveble...
Before AIM there was Sierra Online chat, you guys probably dont even know that, cause your too young to know
ohh u might warn her... like "im gonna call u right now" or "ring, ring, ring"

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
