"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 is stalking my ex-gf? Is my best friend a typical AFC or just desperate?

I don't know what to think here:

My best friend who I've known since we were kids told me he's following my ex-gf on Instagram and Facebook. He's also a 20 something virgin and he's pretty AFC to me. And he desperately wants a girlfriend and wants to get married one day. To say for sure he's a hard-core AFC.

To be clear. He doesn't know her and never met her before nor will he ever meet her. So why would he care so much as to stalk my ex-girlfriend? By stalking I don't mean he's physically stalking her. She's just a hot gf that I used to have but turned out to be BPD.

I think this is strange and fvck-up but I don't think like an AFC. Is this normal?

Is it wrong for me to think that this friend would stab me in the back for a girl one day?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Yeah, it's pretty normal unfortunately. If this is a recent ex of yours, news for you, this guy is -not- your best friend, no matter how long you've known each other. On the off chance he just isn't thinking, ask him how he'd feel in the reverse situation. Tell him it's not a matter of you still wanting to be with her, but of your "best friend" not innately knowing to stay away from his "best friend's" recent exes for reasons you shouldn't have to explain, the main one being that this is a person you want out of your life and anything he seeks with her ends up bringing her back in due to his relationship with you.

Your typical AFC IS dcesperate. - Thats what makes him "AFC" -Average Frustrated Chump aka desperate clueless loser.

Unfortunately theres no way to save these guys, they must make steps to save themselves.

You can teach and tell till youre blue in the face, but they wont listen.

Every man needs his OWN wakeupcall before he can be helped.

This crap happens all the time. One of my friends started hitting up my ex out of nowhere. Really helps you filter out your acquaintances with your actual friends.

I would never think about doin that to someone i care about.
