"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.

So.. I guess my only "good friend" I have left is mad at me cause I wasnt in the mood to hang out or something tonight.

*This happend around 8pm tonight*

FRIEND
: What you up to?
ME: Just got out the shower. How about you.
FRIEND: Not, much just seeing if you wanna hang out tonight
ME: Honestly I was thinking about just chillin here tonight, how about tomorrow?
FRIEND: I got stuff to do tomorrow, thats why I asked if you wanna hang out now.
ME: Well, I could come over for a little while but, I'm tired and not really looking to drink or anything. (Basically he calls me to hang out and drink/smoke on his days off)
FRIEND: Oh, I didnt know our friendship only has to do with drinking, thats cool...
ME: I didnt mean it like that, we can hang out for a little while tonight. I was just letting you know that I was tired and just felt like staying home and wasnt in the mood to "party".
FRIEND: Well, I guess I wont be hanging out or calling you anymore if you think that and blah blah blah

Anyways that was that. I just ignored his negative comments. I mean I dont feel like I did anything wrong. I was just letting him know I wasnt in the mood to really hang out tonight. I mean I known him since the 6th grade. But he does have an a$$hole side to him. Which come to think of.. Alot of his friends are kind of my friends as well cause we all went to school together, but alot of those guys also quit hanging out with him...

It sucks if he wants to be that way.. guess I gotta try and meet new friends
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Right behind you
Honestly, that type of manipulative behavior isn't exactly good. I can imagine a female saying that very clearly to try and guilt-trip someone. You gotta be strong within yourself.

How long has he been your friend acting like that? That was some real feminine bítchy ass shít to say. Idk man. I'd ignore it for a while and let him cool down and come to his senses. You guys are good friends so I doubt he'd actually throw the relationship away over something so trivial. He probably just had a bad day.

I wouldn't reach out to him again until he apologized or at least came with something along the lines of 'My bad bro, I was tripping/high/drunk the other day.'

Yeah I dont know what his deal was. Maybe he is just having a bad day or week. Or maybe he took what I said the wrong way. Guess I'll just let him cool off or think about it and wait for him to reach out to me.

A good friend will understand when you're not up to hanging out. This guy is acting like a lonely whiny bytch.

FRIEND: Well, I guess I wont be hanging out or calling you anymore if you think that
I'm sure he has other friends he can call to come over and comfort him :D
