"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.

"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.
I guess the girls in your area are just more prone to meet up with guys they met online. In my experience girls just use that site to waste time and feel better about themselves and will very seldom meet up with any guy they met on there. But if it works for you then good, but please don't treat it as the holy grail for hooking up with girls (since lots of guys on here have tried it and thought it worthless for the most part).gungho said:Im not 20 you dumbass im 34, i pretty much just talk to the women in their 20's from 22 to 28 etc.. and for now im having fun but my intentions are to find someone long term.
Yes you get a lot of pigs and cougars, i just filter through and anyone that has "average" as body type that means fat lol. You learn what to look for etc.
Why hate. Just because you may not have had any luck with online dating, don't blame those of us that do. Its not just looks, you have to be able to carry a conversation and game, just like you would after you break the ice from a chick you meet on the street or club.
I don't just talk via msn, it just makes it convenient, i combine phone calls, texting and webcam to built rapport. And heres a flash if you meet a chick on the street, they like talking this way too.. welcome to technology. You sound like my grandpa, well son back in the day we only met chicks on the street and would talk on the phone to all hours of the night! Here's a flash, women text more than they talk these days! women and there blackberries lol.
All it is, is an easy way to get past that initial stage of meeting. Whether you do it online, or on the street its the same ****.
And sometimes it takes a while to find quality, just keep it as an alternative tool in your belt, login daily so it keeps your profile closer to the top of the list, and see what comes. You have nothing to lose, if they come they come if they don't, then you are still where you are. You would be foolish to not try. Trust me ive met some models and **** on the site, youd be pretty surprised at the quality that is on there, although its a lot harder but it does happen on occasion.
Right now, I have about 5 different girls im talking to.. and arranging dates with this week, one for each day coming up. Im not bragging im just saying what is possible and they are all between a 7-9, if im not attracted to them i wouldn't waste my time.
Cheers!
no, all I meant is that in my experience it's a very ineffective way to meet girls. Like I'll get a number for every ten girls I message on there (fairly made up figures, using it as an example) while in real life I could get a number for every 3-4 girls I approach.pua1989 said:someones bitter. haha, i also cant believe youd deem the guys method as useless. hes getting more ***** than you!
Now I live in a big city where girls have tons of options and don't have to resort to online dating, but if you lived in a smaller city than of course it would be a different situation.
All I know is what works and doesn't work for me and online dating doesn't. If this guy can make it work than all the power to him.

I live in Chicago, and I have a massive pool of women to choose from. I prefer match.com, women there are of better quality: no kids, good careers, etc.
"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.
