"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.

Met this girl in december and dated for a few weeks, we never became exclusive however she came on strong, we moved fast, but she dropped me hard with some lame excuses. Real reason was another guy. I moved on with NC but a few weeks ago we started talking again slowly after she ended it with him. I was aloof at first and have been trying to remain mysterious, finally saw her last Friday and it went very well, slept over, had sex, she said lets leave the past in the past. Saw her again Monday but she was less intimate and seems to be somewhat distant by the amount she texts and her enthusiasm in them. I am sleeping with other girls but fall hard for her. I don't need to get burned a second time and need you guys to bring me back down to earth on this one. How should I proceed?
 

"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.

Step up your interaction with other girls. You're "other girl" dosage is severely lacking if you're getting this bad a case of oneitis. It's really the only reliable way to proceed when dealing with oneitis.

You guys aren't exclusive so there's no reason for you to catch this kind of feelings.

I think the oneitis comes from the fact that she is the type that will text all day. I don't respond to every text and don't always reply right away, sometimes waiting a few hours, but the constant contact definitely perpetuates my feelings.
