"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.

Here's the situation I find myself in...

I'm 24, but I look 18. Hell, I could probably pass for younger. I hear comments constantly. Now don't get me wrong. I'm a good looking guy. 8-9 on hotornot depending on the pic, but my problem is that I'm missing my target age group.

As much as I'd like to bang 18 year olds, a) I don't usually interact with many and b) I don't get along with them because they're too immature.

And with women in their mid to late 20's, I have a real hard time because I look too young for them.

Okay, maybe the difference is in my head, but you put me in a room with a bunch of 19 year olds, I'll get "**** me" looks left and right. You put me in a bar with 25 year old women, and I get the "buzz off kid" look left and right.

What to do?
 

"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.

lift weights.

Growing facial hair will make you look like an 18 year old trying to look 24, which is ridiculously ironic.

Lift weights. Its no short term solution, but its benefits are obvious.

Wait until you're 30 so you can look like 24! WTF, do you think you should do? Nothing! This shouldn't even be an issue. The real issue is that you're insecure about the way you look. Work on not being so insecure because of what people think you look like.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Do you act like an 18 year old or a 24 year old?

I have the same "problem" as this guy. I'm in my early 20s but I could walk into a high school class tomorrow and no one would doubt me if I told them I was a senior. Some days I could even look like I'm 16.

I can't really grow facial hair to offset this either cause I'm blonde and for some reason my facial hair comes out COMPLETELY WHITE, not blonde at all. I can really look nasty if I don't shave for a while LOL.

But I don't really see this as a big problem other than getting carded up the ass...yes, even for cigarettes.

By the way..I understand what you mean about being with immature girls, but I still would prefer high school b!tches to college hoes. They haven't banged half as many dudes as the 20 somethings in college have, and girls seem to have a tendency to dig older guys.

Also, I have an older brother who is 30 with the same "problem" as well. He's still banging girls from 19 - 25 with no qualms. He always says to me "the younger the better baby." Bet this "problem" will really suck when you're his age.

consider yourself lucky that when you're 30 you can pick up 20 year olds.

I'm 19 and I don't look much older - i've dated women from 17 to 31... makes no difference. Attitude is everything.
 

"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.

my advice would be;

1. bulk up
2. wear clothes that match your age or desired style
3. don't worry about it too much

what?, how can you complain about something as silly as this?, i'm 27 and am f****** 19-23 year olds who think i'm there toyboy, i dont think this is an issue you should be concerned about at all...

my dad is 47, looks young for his age like me, and has stares from early 30 year olds, when your older (or even NOW), you should be treating this as a very good gift from god.

like the guy above said. Its a gift so stop complaining about it. I know I will be happy as hell when I'm 30 and look like im 21. Imagine, you have the stability, status and financial security of a 30 year old made man and the looks of a 21 year old?? And you said your good looking, so imagine just how much of a pimp you will be in six years. Just relax and dont worry, it will pay off in time.
