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.

The guy could've wiped the floor with me.CHICAGO27 said:You cannot trust women! Ever! I've had some bad things happen to me over the years but this tops it.
I actually would have decked the guy if he was dancing with my gf of 1.5 years like that. Generally I wouldn't react like that but that level of betrayal would have warrented that. I would have kicked has arse and walked away - forever.
Dude, I feel for you! I know you are probably hurting now. Do not allow yourself to be reeled back in. Walk away!

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.

So, I'd have gotten beat up, probably assult charges, and that **** would've still left with ol' Goliath of Gath. Yay. I seriously hope she caught an STD from him... and maybe got her pregnant too. That'd make me feel better.CHICAGO27 said:Sometimes it's better to show honor than to allow yourself to be a stooge...
At least you would have made a stand, even if it mean't you got your arse kicked.
In front of my face...pipe007 said:well it could be true... but a 1.5 year LTR in front of your face?
lol well my 1 month date did this to me last saturday, we went clubbing, she was into me, until the taller better guy came along, and he bumped into her by accident, and they started talking, then flirting,,,,, in front of me
and she was giving me her back!! while doing it... lol, when the guy was about to walk away, she grabbed his arm, and told him "why are you leaving"? I was in shock.... 20 minutes before that she was all over me kissing me....
and I couldnt walk away because she picked me up in her car... so I had to swallow the whole thing....I never let them get away from my sight, so Im sure she didnt get a number though lol, but we never spoke again after that...
next!
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
Just the "hey" and "hows your morning going?" messages. This sucks. I feel lonesome as hell right now. There's no way I'm going to work on Monday... I need to get some pot too.pipe007 said:when did this happen? yesterday?
has she tried to contact you again? or just that "hey" message
And yeah, it was last night.pipe007 said:when did this happen? yesterday?
