"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.

My friend asks me to further his AFCness

A friend of mine, 'J', has gone major AFC lately over his ex-girlfriend. Actually she's not really his ex; she was cheating on her bf with my friend, then dumped him (J, that is) and went back to her original bf.

Since then she's cut off all contact and J has been depressed and forlorn. He's never put much stock in relationships before this and it's kind of surprising. Now he wants me to go talk to the girl (I know her a little bit) and find out what she's feeling, why she won't return his calls etc.

My first reaction is simply to refuse, but maybe there's a way I can help him after all...?
 

"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.

Do not help him!!!

That will only get you involved with all the drama and sh*t, and will further get him all messed up about his ex.

If you really want to help him, you have to talk some fvcking sense into him and tell him he has to fvcking let the entire thing go and just go for other girls. Theres no way hes gonna get his ex back, and why would he want to if she fvcking cheated on him? Your friend is a primetime afc, and needs some help. Refer him to this site, or just try to talk some serious sense into him. Thats really all you can do.
