"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.

I live in a condo and until recently I though upstairs lives a baby which runs around all day long and drops things during the day and during the night, I thought it wakes up and drops things, or maybe its mother wakes up and drops things. I am systematically waking up at 1 AM, 2 AM, and sometimes 3 AM and 4 AM. I had no idea how bad it was until I began writing down times I wake up at night on a piece of paper and then transferring it into excel spread sheet.

I did my research. Basically there is no baby. It's a grown person, a senior, that I guess uses contact mic or listens in using stethoscope or else they have amazing hearing and are able to hear what's going on downstairs. Basically that thing is following me around and drops things above my head. I go to sit on the coach in the living room, it drops things above my head in the living room. I go to sleep in bedroom it moves to bedroom and drops things above my bed. I go to another bedroom and it moves there.

I double and triple checked. I'd leave a sound recorder in one room and move to another room so that it don't picks up my snoring and that person above move to another room, and vice versa. I'd trick it, make a noise on my bed, pretend to go to sleep and then quietly move to another room to have some sleep, it would eventually follow me.

I installed hidden camera in corridor upstairs to see who it was, I did not tell anyone because I think it's illegal. No baby, confirmed. It's an older person. In spreadsheet above you can see I only had 1 good night in 3 weeks. This is only because nobody was upstairs, I did not hear anyone during the evening and no lights were lit.

Now my question is what do I do? Moving out, or selling and buying elsewhere is not an option. It was perhaps 16 years ago or more, but not now.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Don't have any advice but I am glad I live in a detach house.
 

"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.

Talk to them and if they don't stop file a complain with the property management or look into civil noise ordinance policies in your area. I would be prepared to go to war over something like this.

Could be worse. Could be reptilians.

You have 3 options.

1. Move
2. Conversate with neighbor
3. Put on some white noise or green noise to block out neighbor.

Old people don't sleep well, have to pee a lot at night, and have other issues. Those things are not going to change.

What does it say about a person that tracks his times in a spreadsheet? I'd say he won't be conversing with the neighbor anytime.
