"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 usually wait untill they call or text me. Its usually the next day. This girl is a bit more special then some random chick I bang though. Should I call her or wait for her to call me? Text her today, tell her I had fun last nightt. Which we both said after we kissed goodnight.



---Went out last night, she paid for the date, even when I offered
(Which I never do) since she drove a half hour to see me,. I kissed her dominantly, we were making out in the parking lot for a while. We moved to a side street, made out more, felt her up alot, played with her nipples.... Tryed to finger her, kept moving my hand away. We went out for about hour and a half give or take. First girl in a while who cared about my needs and not just hers. We even held each other and just smiled for 10 min. Havent had that happen in a while. It felt good.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The only solid rule is to not be super-needy, texting/calling her all damn day. That's what most guys problem is. Getting in these all-day text convos with girls about nothing.

Other than that, calling her the next day, or 2 days later, isn't going to ruin you.

I never text or call all day. I got this fu*king stalker doing it to me, annoying as ****. I call or text, make plans, small talk for 5-10 min, end it.

I was thinking tomorrow night I would be good to go. Unless she calls me first.

It doesn't matter as long you don't beg for a second date.
FB, texting, calls anything goes at this point, just keep in mind that these means of communication are just meant to facilitate the logistics of the next real-life encounter.

Good post/ Article bro
 

"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.

The only reason to call her is to have her meet you some place.

I usually text the next day with a brief, "hey, I had a great time last night...let's do it again, later in the week. I'll call you."

something like that.

I always say I gtg, afterwards and then call maybe the second day or the day after that and set up another date.

that;s what i do.. well that's what i did with my last date. i texted her the next saying i had a good time lets do it again. she replied saying she had a GREAT time, how about saturday?

then i just reply with "sounds good! talk soon," and we dont talk again until then.. kinda builds up that tension .. i kinda like it but i wouldnt mind spending a little more time with her than once a week.

Curb your enthusiasm. Once a week is enough in the initial phase of dating. Twice is a maximum.

true true... so when should it start becoming more often? that depend on how well you get along with them or after a few dates? cause i don't think once a week is gonna cut it for me in the long run haha. it will make me look elsewhere.
 

"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.

Exactly what I said.

She said sounds good and needs to check her schedule.

Doesn't sound that good to me. Did I do something wrong on the date? Not build up enough rapport..etc Now its got me thinking

I responded with when you find out your schedule, tell me so i can check my schedule and we'll figure something out

You're right, it smells fishy when a girl has to "check her schedule." but don't sweat it, see what happen next, the ball in her court;

For future reference, it doesn't hurt to give the choice between two dates when you close the deal:

"When do you want to meet up: Tuesday or Thursday?"

The choice is not about wether or not she wants to meet or not, but when. With this approach, they're also more prone to offer a third alternative if they're busy on both nights.

Thats exactly what I was going to do next. I was going to choose between two days. Or if im not feeling it or really dont care what we do I usually choose between two places.

Im still trying to think what I did wrong here, if anything. Maybe its just as simple as the attraction was gone the next day. Im going to go no contact for a bit and wait for her to call or text me.

Congrats bro. If you had a good time with her, chances are she did unless you're totally oblivious to it (or she's a really good actress).
 

"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.

In my experience, it is best to wait one day before calling her. By doing this, you don't run the risk of appearing needy, and you don't run the risk of the girl thinking you're a player by waiting too long (believe it or not, this can backfire sometimes).

And yes, the point is to set up a date. The conversation should be less than a couple minutes. If she's not feeling it, then move on; you don't want to waste your time going on dates with girls that aren't really that interested.

Also no texting. If she texts you, you can consider texting back. I'll return a couple texts occasionally, but never overdo it. Most of these women are attention wh*ores who just want to check up on you.
