"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.

Plate I have been seeing for 2 months started acting up this morning. She was supposed to come over this afternoon and she got mad because she didn't hear from me after like 11am yesterday.

Normally I send her a few texts spaced throughout the day, yesterday just wasn't in the mood so I didn't.

So she asks why she didn't hear from me all day. Told her I didn't realize I had a quota and laughed about it.

She said there isn't any quota but when she doesn't hear from me she can't help but thinking something is going on.

So I joked that I must be getting way too predictable and I will make sure to change things up more.

Then she sends some long text about this that and the other and that she really likes me and wants it to be more than what it is right now, and that when she doesn't hear from me it makes her insecure blah blah blah.

Wasn't in the mood so I told her I had a long work week and want to relax and am not in the the mood to be dealing with this right now and to enjoy the rest of her day.

She didn't respond which is for the best because I was considering dropping her anyways even before all this. If she drops herself then that works too.

Men...when women start with this silliness do not cave and start explaining yourself like a good little boy. You don't owe her anything. She isn't your Mommy. Be vague, admit nothing and stay mysterious.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I don't think this classifies as her "acting up."

The problem here is that you established the pattern of sending her multiple texts a day, which gets her trained to having that level of attention from you. The minute you pulled back (changing the established pattern) she smelt a rat. When she tried to confront you on that that pattern change, she was really saying she thinks you are fvcking with her. She will lose interest over things like this in the long term.

Men, this is why we stress not abusing the phone. Stop texting these broads. Any pattern you start with a woman has to be continued in perpetuity, so it's best not to start at all.

Mistake #2 in this story is canceling the date with her. This confrontation did not have to happen at all. The correct play is:

"Hey, I got busy with work. See you this afternoon."

Then when she comes over proceed to bang her brains out. Less talking and more fvcking is the formula to better relationships.

I think you played it cool till the last part. I like how you responded and all. But the last part, I mean, are you trying to keep her or push her away? Either way the type of game you are going with seems like you're trying to manipulate her instead of become closer. I mean if you plan on just having a sexual relationship with her, you should probably make that clear.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Honestly she is becoming too needy and I have other plates that will fill the void that I enjoy spending time with more than her.

Yeah I was kind of a d1ck but I don't really care if she stays of goes. Honestly I kind of hope she goes.

Yeah, I feel you here, I can go 2 weeks without texting a plate, but that is because I set the expectation of that when I begin with them.

Also, if you havent ****ed me, I dont text with you at all, so that is what gives rise to that initial expectation, calls only until we ****, then I can in good conscious, set that texting expectation... This doesnt always work, some will work on you and lose interest, but it is what it is.

Yeah, you sounded like kind of a d1ck.
Don't be a d1ck, don't hope she goes, let her go if you feel so. You got nothing to lose if you do this.
 

"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.

You basically played games. And then told her u plan to play more games to avoid becoming predictable. Simple if u didn’t txt her cos she pissed u off u tell her there and then why she pissed u off and why u didn’t txt. If u just couldn’t be bothered then tell her u were busy or tired or asleep. If u want to keep her around don’t tell her u just couldn’t be bothered. Make a lame excuse. Telling her your not bothered will likely lower her interest and cause more drama for you, best to be vague but have an excuse
