ha give the guy pointers so you can buddy up afterwards and talk about what a WH*R* she is in the office...
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.
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.
So true. I let a good one go a few years ago and have been sentenced to a life of these *****es. Didnt know how good I had it, man. The good thing is for me at least; I have no more feelngs when I see these symptoms pop up. The emotional wall goes up, and I play them. Or, if I can't, which does happen. I bounce. Go ghost. It's been an eductation, and it all started here on SS.floydb25 said:Doubled.
Also, certain girls dont not know what they want - they want EVERYTHING their way. Thats why a lot of this crap happens. Youll notice behind the BS excuses and lies that you are being put in the precise position she wants - as it benefits her. Fear and confusion has nothing to do with it. Some of them will go to great lengths in establishing these situations. But youll find, 9 times out of 10, that you are simply being played and manipulated like a chump. Thats why all of these subtle boundaries are in place. They get what they want, and you get used. Then you also have the guilt trips, and other forms of manipulation whenever their interests are being threatened.
They do NOT act this way because they care so much about you, and cant control their feelings. Its because theyre selfish and coniving, and cant get their way. Thats why the games NEVER end. They want all the control. Book it.
These types also tend to be spoiled and bratty, which is theyre always *****ing so loudly when things dont go their way. Thats why a girl will ***** about a guy being a player - when she's already involved with someone else. And this is fairly common. Its all about them. Thats who they believe the world revolves around (and stops spinning when things go sour - no matter how unfair, unreasonable, or selfish they are).
Thats why certain girls are always *****ing, playing the victim, etc. Theyre spoiled, ungrateful, entitlement *****es. And theyre usually hot. And they usually get the **** kicked out of them by most everyone they get involved with - because they lie, cheat, deceive, manipulate, abuse, etc. And they STILL play the victim - literally as all of this is happening. ****, theyre even playing and using the people theyre playing the victim TO.
Some *****es, man. Hate 'em.
Ranting again. Damnit.

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.
I agree, things got better when I stopped bothering with chicks under the age of 24 but you'll still run into some up to their 30's who haven't grown up for whatever reason. There are a couple in my office who went cold just from seeing a new picture of my girl and I that I put on my desk.vantagepoint said:Girls from 18 to 22 are little girls. Don't waste your time.
The solution is to block her on your Facebook newsfeed. That way, she won't come up but she won't notice anything on her end (you are still "friends," etc). It's good to block her in this way, otherwise it is too tempting to obsess over whether she is still thinking about you, has found someone else, etc. Sure, these worries are AFC, but the point of blocking (ie, going NC) is to get over these AFC worries.hindsighted said:I know alot of you on here say to block her on facebook, twitter etc. I do not agree with that. To me that makes you look like the chump. You cant even handle looking at pictures of her or her pretending to have a great time? What does that say about you? to me it says AFC. Just my thoughts
Dude i'm in the same pot as you are nowjoker79 said:situation is getting weird. Unfortunately I work with this girl and I see her everyday... there's an incredible tension now. I went from "I care about you" to "colleague style" and only business talk and she noticed it ... but she can't say anything as she know why this change happened. Today she went in another room even to avoid confrontation. wow! This is why you shouldn't build any relationship at work place! ****!
Just spot the red flags before they become a problem. The office is my favorite place to flirt with girls. Thinking of it now makes me want to watch the Taylor Swift video where she works in an office. I'm pretty sure it's called "Ours".Zerro said:I agree, things got better when I stopped bothering with chicks under the age of 24 but you'll still run into some up to their 30's who haven't grown up for whatever reason.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
