Usually when a girl is really into you, you have to go for it immediately before she starts to think you don't know how to take a hint, or that you aren't attracted to her, etc. Does anyone have any experience with leaving that window open for a couple of weeks though? This girl is trying to text me, added me on facebook, keeps inviting me out but I'm really busy for the next few weeks. Was thinking of lying low until halloween weekend but I don't know if I can do that because she keeps fking texting me and if I ignore it long enough I'm sure she'll be calling me up soon. Gotta maintain the window of opportunity without getting too comfortable.
"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.

"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.

That's actually a good problem to have.
You have to strike while the iron is hot in most cases. The question is how hot is the iron and how much longer will it stay hot? Hard to say.
Like betheman said, you're too busy to bone?? If I want to fvck a girl bad enough, I don't care how busy I am. I'll have her come over at 3am, fvck til 5, then get up at 8 for work and down a pot of coffee. Gotta do what you gotta do.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
It is indeed a good problem to have.
But seriously, I have a busy social calendar, a couple of huge deadlines, and some personal projects I have to work on. I just want to know what you guys do when the iron is burning hot and you just want to prolong it a little longer. I've had this problem before a few times and usually it works out just fine, but this girl is blowing up my phone like crazy.
