"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.

Did your psychiatrist say that you couldn't have a relationship? Can bipolar be fixed or treated or contained? This seems to be your main problem that everything else stems from at the moment, but honestly I don't know much about it. Care to enlighten us?

You seem to need to work on your self-control. Take up things like meditation and work out how to release your energy when it comes up rather than smashing the fck out of some dude :p

My mate doesn't have bipolar (I think) but his mood is always either manic or depressed... and he has a hot girlfriend. I don't know how she puts up with him, but hey, it seems to work for him.

EDIT:

At this point you can either resign to your 'fate' or fight tooth and nail to have the life you want. If you fight you will find an escape.
 

"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.

Mental disorders make relationships a lot harder to maintain. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to, man. If you want an intimate relationship with a girl, you're going to have to bite the bullet. You're going to have to go through the same awkwardness everyone else did, the same heartbreak everyone else did, and the same drama everyone else did. Don't let your mental disorders excuse you from this life experience. I've fallen into that trap far too many times.

Are you going to be perfect? No. Not even Brad Pitt is perfect. Pook said it best: "Perfect is boring."

I know you want to be with a girl, LostAC. You can do it. Once you get a girl, you realize that all your troubles aren't over yet, but you'll keep on dealing with the problems, and then you'll eventually become inured to the gut-wrenching nervousness you're prone to when with a girl you like. Adapt, my good friend, since that is what being a man is all about.
