"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.

couple weeks ago, some hot chick in a junior english class that i t.a. in asked me to give her extra credit. i basically said "ill think about it" then i forgot. today, a another, hotter chick comes up to me(hot enough for me to post anyways), and something along these lines happens:

HB is w/ her friends and me and my bud stop to chat. then HB comes up real close to me (IOI?)

HB: hey, you enter grades and stuff into the computer, right?
Me: yeah, why do you ask?
HB: well, do you think you could add some points to my grade to like, get me up to an A?
Me: hmmm... i don't know...
-My bud who actually knows her says to me in front of her:"what confuses me is why shes asking you instead of me"-
HB continues: like, it doesn't have to be that many... just a few....
Me: well... whats in it for me?
HB pauses and says: well, i can give you a candy bar tommorow
Me (in shock): hmm, i dont know
i start to walk away, then put my hand on her shoulder and say with a smile: well, tell you what, ill think about it and let you know tommorrow, ok?
HB: yeah, sounds good

Anyways, i know if i just gave her the points she would be using me (which my friend would of done if she asked him!) and since i am not letting people walk on me anymore i wouldnt give in to some chick who might not even be interested. Plus that is a dumb whorie thing to do on her part.

So my idea is to either tell her, "i thought about it, and i wouldnt do that behind mrs. teacher's back, especially to someone i dont know, even if she is cute." or "im not going to do that, but i could help you with hw."
I think its an alright response but im asking you guys to come up with a better one.

Basically, how can i turn this into a way for her to find out what a fvcking awesome dude i am?
 

"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.

Say that you are still contemplating the issue, and you are yet to find a good enough reason for you to give her the credits... (Or whatever she wants you to do)
A playful neg might do wonders...

No, just say that you wanted something a little better than a candy bar, and see what she ends up with.
