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.
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.

PRL deserves some f*cking congratulations here.
He definately gave me some good advice with my previous ex-gf that helped me escape my oneitis!
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.

Your post was not very praiseworthy of my strenuous efforts in the last year and a half – let’s be a little more focus on me and not the pink emoticons!!Originally posted by Jake-inator

As a side note, i now get the impression that your main goal on this site (and in life ?) was to be the top poster. Now, that makes me sad because i thought your goal was to help out all of us with your insightful comments
Second side note: I did a search and noticed that from your very first post you said "Say no to hors". I am amazed to see that in your 4000+ posts you kept repeating the same exact sentence without getting bored. Props to you for that!
Here's another cheerleader for your amusement only: :cheer:
Your post is not a post of adulation or praise, in fact it is comment in error – if you read my comments I said Moderators and Woman don’t count!!! And if you add up the words written by me and the insightful insight (that makes sense, right) that I’ve given, I surpass all of the Don Juans combined!!Originally posted by check_mate_kid_uk

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.
