"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.

Since I've stepped my dating life in the past several months I've encountered mature, stable career women who seem to get sucked in by scams. 3 so far. Once was selling MonaVie, another One24, now my date tonight tells me about this great thing shes doing called Visalus.

I'm disappointed whenever I learn someone is involved in a pyramid scheme because they always hint around for me to look into it.

Now I have a date tonight that I was really looking forward to, but she's probably going to bring up this exciting new opportunity she's into - and she's a friggin accountant and makes good money, and is skinny, so why get on board with some weight loss scam?

Kinda dampered it a bit. Not sure what to do if she starts talking about it. Don't want to encourage more by being polite and just listening. What should I do, change the subject??
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"what is this a sales pitch or a date?"
"I'll take 20! [change topic]"
"Are you trying to tell me I look fat?" (if she's droning on about weight loss products)
"Do you do those sex toy parties too?" - good option to reframe the drone into sexuality.
Start selling her a bridge you just happen to have for sale.
If its a drink, ask her if it contains soylent green

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Haha, repped dude, that is golden. Reminds me to be thinking in constant reframe mode in any sub par situation.

my mother is in Amway and is semi retired because of it. if push came to shove i am pretty sure she could quit working though she could not live her current lifestyle. my mom travels more than anyone i have ever seen today.

but she's been at that since i was in elementary school.

"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.
