"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.

Isn't it Fun?

Do you guys agree with this?

After years of dating and several learning experience in the form of failed LTRs, LDRs, ONSs, and 1/2-daters, I feel like I'm getting more comfortable with the whole process. There seem to be fewer and fewer things that throw me for a loop, simply because I've seen them before. It turns out that women aren't really all that different from each other when you get down to it.

I've been seeing someone for a little over a month. We're in the same social group, but we work in different divisions of the same company. Not a SINGLE person in company knows that we're dating! So far we've been on 4 dates and have hung out several times in large groups at professional and unrelated social functions.

The craziest thing about this is that she and I were acquaintances before we started dating, which really took the edge off of the initial few dates. Our entertaining repoire and witty banter doesn't seem to get old, and we're developing stronger feelings for each other. She and I seem to share many of the same values, including views on fitness, nutrition, and edication.

This is fun!

I must make the best of this situation before I discover how crazy she is... they're all crazy, but some hide it better than others. Just a matter of time before it all blows up in our faces, but until that point I'm going to enjoy it

:-D
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

We're all crazy. We're all insecure. We all have something to offer. Any everything you see in women is a mirror reflection of yourself.

Yup, Deadly R, we all need to figure just how much "crazy" we can tolerate. Unfortunately, my tolerance level is very low and I've spent my life looking for a feminine woman who is capable of rational thought and relatively stable emotions.

I think that was findable 20 or 30 years ago, but today a woman like that is literally extinct. So I find myself struggling to adjust my tolerance level without turning my back on my convictions. It's a tough balance to strike.
