"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.

Nice problem to have...but still a problem.

I've been lurking on sosuave for about a month and reading the DJ Bible religiously. I've snapped out of my AFC/Nice Guy mindset, but I still have a bit of a prob.
Background: I'm an HS senior with limited (one GF, but we dated for 9 mos) experience, though I got the nerve to ask a seriously hot sophomore I know through debate to prom.
"Some problem," you say. Well, the tricky part is two-fold.
A. The day after I asked her, she said that, although her parents (who are muy over protective) were okay, she "thought we should go as friends." Maybe I should have nexted her, but I didn't (because I get a slight sense that she may have a rather higher IL than her parents might allow her to show).
B. I'm feeling awkward in the day to day run up to prom. W/ my last gf (who was also a sophomore prom date, although I was a junior at the time), there was little awkwardness since we were both in journalism together and were both very AFC in our attitudes towards each other--whereas w/ this girl I only see her in the hallways intermittently, although we do say "Hi!" and I pick up some pretty strong IOIs from her. I'm sort of fearing an awkward prom night dinner of uncomfortable silence. So, my question is ...
1. How should I be acting in the run up to prom...increase contact or not?
and
2. How can I fill in those uncomfortable gaps (I'm a great conversationalist when I have something to talk about...I just don't know what to talk about).

Any advice will be greatly appreciated by this rAFC.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Don't go out of your way to see her. But if she initiates conversation then don't ignore her. Keep a balance, like you would with a relationship. You know about give and take right? It should be the same with communication. If it's her turn to call YOU, don't go out of your way to talk to her. Pretty simple.

Things should not be uncomfortable. There's plenty to talk about. Look around you. Just keep and light and interesting. No crazy moves. You don't want to **** **** up right before prom.

Thanks. That's basically been my plan.
