"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.

Shw is a "therapist" lol. masters degree, 25 yo

Me: Hello

Her: Hey how's it going!?

Me: Do you find that, as a therapist, dating can be difficult for you? Also would you say it affects your social life? And if so, in what ways?

lol, shes a novice.

Her : haha umm I suppose it probably impacts dating in some ways..I definitely try to not let my therapist brain work when I'm not at work..I never just sit around analyzing the people I'm dating lol I think it impacts the person that I'm dating more than it does the relationship bc they're nervous that I'm always being a therapist instead of myself .. I don't think it affects me socially either..I mean a lot of my friends are therapists so I might be biased haha how do you think it affects relationships?
 

"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.

Not really sure how you could respond to that.

When it comes to analyzing the people she dates, she most likely does. Most women overthink things, especially the men they associate themselves with. Given that her friends are also therapists, when/if you meet them they'll probably do the same.

With POF whenever a younger girl like that is on there, it's mostly for a reason. I've never heard of anyone lasting with a younger girl they met on the site.

WTF? Damn near every woman I've ever known seems to style themselves as some type of psychiatrist (talk about our feelings bull$hit, how does that make you feel?).

Stop analyzing this woman and start getting into her pants.

Be confident and don't worry what she thinks about you. The number one thing she will notice is your uncertainty. If she lets people know she is a therapist, most people are probably uneasy around her and prepared to be analyzed. Be refreshing by being yourself.
The best way to sell something is to truly believe that what you are selling is a great product. You don't even have to think or stress about it because you know you have the greatest product. Just know that you are amazing and she will follow your belief. Doubt yourself and she will follow your doubt. You have nothing to fear because by being honest and yourself she will fall for you!

Good luck!:up:
 

"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.

Her response reminds me of emails from my coworker. He has a business degree from the University of Miami and can't write a coherent paragraph.

My question wasn't very serious. I dont care about her answer at all, I'm just trying to build her interest. But then again, my situation doesnt really allow me to have a meet at the moment. Seriously, if you guys knew you would understand.
