"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.

So i was just diagnosed by a good female friend of mine that i'm handsome and not bad looking but what i'm missing is that i'm not "oozing sexuality."

The worst thing is that she might be right. I mean i don't have much problem going out with women but unfortunately conveying to them that i "want" them is my biggest challenge.

Advice?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What she is telling you is that you are an average looking person who is neither hot nor cold, beautiful or ugly, and that she doesn't think you live up to your potential as a man.

By the way, she might have been interested in you once. But not now apparently...

...yeah, but then she brings up her boyfriend who supposely is "oozing sexuality" and trust me she can't be talking about looks there.

"she doesn't think you live up to your potential as a man."

...a what?
 

"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.

You answer as if assumig that i want to know whether she's attracted to me. I already know she isn't. I just wanted to know what women might imply (besides stated above) when they say it (and better yet how to resolve it).

Taking her words at face value, it IS possible to act in ways that just are not sexual at all. Maybe you need to slow down some. Take longer, slower strides. Avoid short, jerky movements. How about your voice? You want a deep, rumbling bass, not a high-pitched, squeaky tenor. How do you dress? Baggy clothes that cover stuff up, or something that fits well and shows off your body (assuming you have a decent body to show). How do you look at things? Gaze at things, don't scan. Take your time looking at things that are beautiful (including women). Appreciate them with your eyes. Touch things. Feel things with your hands (including them - but not in a gropey, going-to-jail kinda way).

She's being nothing more than nice to you. What she says and what she actually thinks might be two diffrent things, though.

For example there might have been a time she thought you were attractive, but turned her off and she's been that way ever since or maybe she has never found you attractive.

Either way she is giving you positive feedback. I always thought there was a contradiction when a girl tells you these things, but nevertheless she is simply stating that you arn't man enough for her.

You can correct this by acting like a man.

juanstepatatime: man, you might be onto something with this. I drink too much f uckin redbull.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Ricky Martin, watch how these guys carry themselves. Sexuality comes by the way you move, the way you carry yourself, the vibes you send off, the way you beleive in yourself. Once you are truly comfortable with yourself, and with yourself around beautiful woman, you will start to feel the sexuality ooze out of you. Just gotta get out in that game and learn the basics first!
