"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.

Hi Guys,

I thought I would take a leap onto Match.com to see what was out there. I have read the other messages concerning this site, and there really isn't that many good looking women. But, I thought what the hell and winked at a few 6s or 7s. I got one reply back from a maybe 7, can't make up my mind as 2 pics she looks good and one she doesn't. Anway, we have been e-mailing back and forth since yesterday afternoon. She is a bit young 23, I am 32. But she seems more mature, she has a good job, responsibilities etc.

So, I seem to be doing ok C&F and cracking jokes etc. I finally sent her a pic, because I am not going to waste my time if she doesn't like what I look like what is the point in continuing. The e-mail back she put her cell number and said call me for a chat if I would like.

How long should I wait before calling her? Do the same rules apply as if I got a number in a club or wherever.

Any advice would be cool.
Thanks.
 

"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.

The "rules" still apply, if that's what you want to call it. I prefer to call it "having a life" which has consequences that prevent you from calling immediately. But if you want to call them "rules," that's cool too.

As a side note, I'm *really* surprised that someone would respond to you without seeing a pic first. Your email game must be tight as hell-- congrats on that. I usually call two days later, but if they're getting at me through IM's every day, I might put it off a little longer.

Well DrZ, I belive I have slight advantage. I am an english guy living in the States. So, that is normally enough of an opener for girls to start talking to me. That is my opening gambit, once I have got past that then game on, it is entirely down to me to DJ them.

I agree, 1-2 days sounds good. I would not wait longre though, cuz she is constatly bombarded with emails and may lose interests in you due to competitin from other dudes if you wait too long.
