"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.

Ok so I have done some searching on here, I didn't want to make a thread but my situation is a little unique.

I'm 27, she's 23. We work for the same company (I know, I know) and we have been sleeping together for about a month. She stays at my house as we are both away from 'home' for a week and then for a week I am away.

When I am away I do not initiate any contact with her. She will call me maybe once and text me a few times to which I only reply if she asks me something. I am interested in a LTR with her but have not said anything..been playing it cool.

I get a text from her saying she cannot wait till I get back and some other crap about work but no questions. Should I reply to messages like this? Or ignore....

EDIT: Have ignored texts from her before and gotten another message saying 'are u ignoring me?' not sure how to deal with that?
 

"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 wouldn't initiate texting first too often, but if she's texting you there shouldn't be a problem of texting her back without her having to ask a question.

I ignore about 75% of incoming texts from everybody. People are used to it by now. As long as you're consistent about it (so it doesn't seem weird that you're ignoring her) it should be all good.

Exactly what he said. Don't be a little school girl playing games.

My question to you is "do you feel like replying?"

If you don't feel like it then don't. Women will ignore our texts, calls, flake on us but somehow you feel like you gotta answer every little text a woman sends you!

If you don't feel like answering a text don't do it simple as that. They'll do it to you that's for sure.

When it comes to texts like the ones she sent you it's never a good thing to express your feelings over texts.

You could reply to her with the classic DJ answer "I know."
 

"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.

If I get asked something like "how are you?" I'll respond. If I get a text saying "I'm fat," or something else retarded like that, I'm not going to waste my time responding.

If ignoring her texts still keeps her attraction level high, keep doing what works.

Or, keep your messages short. Nothing lengthy is necessary.
