"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.

A few months ago we had a talk about how she was not real happy with everything and sometimes we did pick on eachother but not bad at all, over all we were doing well.

Well the past week she had been acting funny because she wanted to talk to me but did not have the guts to, last night she broke it off saying she is just unhappy with her life, she wants to lose weight, maybe see a therapest ect. She seemed fairly happy with me, even though we are different, she likes going to bars ect and I don't mind them but I am not one to go talk to a ton of friends, we are not on bad terms and still going to try to be friends but it will be hard as hell to do so since I still have feelings for her, she seemed to want me to get pissed when we were breaking up, it was killing her that I was not more pissed off at the things she did.

I am really just hopeing she needs some time to herself to get her **** together, we are both 25 and don't think either of us are ready just yet for a family ect.

Just not sure what to do, it hurts, and sucks, part of me wants to go out and find random women, but part of me doesnt.
 

"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.

If you still have feelings for her, the last thing you need to do is remain friends with her. Are you going to just "understand" when she starts dating and fvcking other guys while you're waiting for her to get therapy? You'll waste your life being friends with a woman, hoping she "comes to her senses".

Your best bet is to cut her off completely, take some time to enjoy the things you didn't have time for when you were dating her, and begin a new path of life by dating other women. Let sleeping dogs lie, leave the past in the past, and move on with your life.

Listen to Desdinova. He has some good advice. You can't be friends with a chick you still have feelings for. It will tear you up inside. Better off to just cut contact completely. Good luck.

I hear you on this one man. I'm going through the same thing myself. Its really hard when she calls you crying because she tried some rough/bondage **** and almost died choking on a d1ck, but I digress.

Best thing I've found to do is distance yourself. Especially if you still have feelings for her. I don't for mine but I am still starting the pull away.
