"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.
My LTR of 1.5 years left the bar with another guy...

- Start date

"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.
His sob story sounds too contrived and half-baked to be taken seriously people.
But, hey, I got to run to the "Shell" to get a tin foil hat. BRB.
Delta pilot, huh? I'm sure he volunteered this info while he was macking your girl, right? lol

Although this story is probably fake, I wouldn't run this past any woman. We all need a fresh reminder of what these woman are capable of.
I once had a plate that wanted to date me "so badly". Even dropped the L-bomb, but I would not budge. I told her I wanted to "wait" to be honest, I didn't really trust her. I also told her this, that I didn't really know her well enough, and she needs some time to build my trust because "I didn't know what she was capable of." (My exact words.) Mind you, this conversation was right after we had sex, and we're laying on my buddies bed at party/kickback. Right after this conversation, I go to have a few more drinks and she goes missing. So is my "friend" at the time. While trying to stay cool and calm, I let my emotions get the best of me. I ask around, I hear that my girl is in the bathroom. Then hear that my friend is in the bathroom from another person. Both in the bathroom huh? Shady. I walk up to the bathroom door, and I can hear the shower running. I try the door, it's locked. So I call both them out on their bullsh!t. And bang the door. They are both rattled. Eventually I busted down the door (which I later replaced) screaming profanities. I don't know what stopped me from beating the fvck out of my friends naked little a$$ but I didn't. I actually ended up storming off driving home all drunk. The girl had no remorse or shame after it all either. What hurt the most was the conversation we had literally RIGHT BEFORE this all happened.
Let me tell you man, woman are ruthless.
Fast forward a few months later, after NC whatsoever. She approaches me to tell me that was one of the biggest mistakes she ever made, blah blah. To which I replied with a "fvck off".
And if that wasn't enough to turn a man cold, I've got about 3 other stories just as bad if not worse. Although, I was always stupid enough to allow myself to get that close.
Don't really have that problem anymore.
I hate to say it, but I'm a jaded mother fvcker.

While I generally believe the story, I question if this tall dude really was a Delta pilot. While ages weren't given, it sounds like a young guy. Doesn't it take many years to become a commercial airline pilot? Most I see are middle aged or older. It doesn't necessarily mean the OP is trolling though. This Randy guy probably lied about his job as a DHV to impress the chick.
Is the story possible though? Absolutely. I had a chick I went out with for a month leave with some dude during our date at a bar. She didn't say a word and just left with him hand in hand. Fortunately I had my own car. While an LTR chick would most likely cheat behind his back instead of right in his face, not much surprises me with women these days.

I'm a noob and fresh outta high school and even I knew that this was a troll from a mile away. :crackup: :crackup:
"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.

:crackup: I became suspicious when the story got to the part where they wanted to go buy some cigarettes ?? WTF, what kind of commercial pilot smokes cigarettes ?
You ever seen smoke curling up from under the ****pit door ??
Nah... :crazy:

The same thing happened to a friend, only he was on the other side of the deal. It was about 12 months back. I head to the local bar with a couple of mates and ran into an old acquaintance I hadn't seen in years.
He walks up shakes hands and then blurts out
“I have a problem see that blond girl at the bar buying me a drink, she wants to fu*ck me"
I respond with
"How the hell is that a problem?"
And he fires back
"See that guy standing back from her that’s her Boyfriend"
Me: "what are they swingers?"
Friend: "No she's just a slut"
Me "did you instigate"
Friend "No she has been flirting all night"
I glance over at the guy; the pained look on his face is obvious. You can see he is in plead mode trying to come up with a way of getting his girl to stay faithful. You can feel his heartbreak from across the room and I turn away in disgust at her being so blatant and at his desperation.
She comes back with a drink for my friend and grabs his arm and starts chatting and giggling. BF just stands back a few steps behind with his drink, eyes downcast and thinking f*uck knows what. I'm thinking it must be an open relationship; no guy could just stand there and take that much disrespect. She continues flirting furiously with my mate.
So I ask the guy flat out what the deal is when no one else is around. He just passes it off that she is just a social person and that they have been happily together for 2 years. The guy isn't fooling anyone. Maybe it was just the beer, but he looked like he had tears welling up. The guy was defeat personified. I just tell him he can do better then put up with this $hit. He just shuts off and looks down.
No happy ending for the BF that night. I truly felt sorry for him. But life deals some harsh lessons and boy did he need to learn fast.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Has to be a troll. No one can be this big of an AFC.
"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.
Why are you spending time at clubs with your LTR?
If my woman gets hit on in front of me and she seems to be enjoying the attention, I leave her to it. If she's going to fvck around I want to know about it now. Show me who you really are. I want you to. Mess up and you'll be out of my life so fast I won't even remember your name.
If she comes calling later I encourage her to "go for that guy. He really likes you."
In most cases she'll come asking why I left her with that guy. I always say "If it looks like you need my help I'm there but you're a big girl, you can make your own decisions."

Ugh. He's a troll and this thread is from months ago.
And he's very obviously a troll. Just look at his posting history. It doesn't get more obvious than him.

I knew it was fake when I first read it 
There are some guys out there who are sooooo AFC that this kind of thing does happen to them, however. But it's pretty rare, most humans are decent enough that they don't treat each other this way (unless they're killing each other in holy wars or something).
Interesting.. good troll... plausible but pretty outrageous.. 4 pages of responses so far.. troll wins!

The thing that amazes me in all this is how most people (esp. men) in America think being fake and pretending nothing bothers you is being cool while you are dying on the inside and trying to save face on the outside and you could've sprung into action. You may say this is not true but it's because it hurts that's why you are here posting this. Really was your relationship that great and just suddenly fell apart in the space of 1 hour?
Maybe my words are harsh, but you can take the sympathy from the posts of other guys. How many times did things go wrong in your relationship and you took this same approach "being cool" or should I say "pretending" There were problems in your relationship and either you never saw it or you were being cool.
In my opinion when you got to the bar and sensed a problem you should have just bought your drink, made up an excuse to take your girl away from the situation to find out what's going on. If you feel the situation isn't going well then you just walk away instead of subjecting yourself to all that drama, and then still losing out in the end. I guess I'm saying this for next time.
