"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.

So today my girl comes at me with some stuff telling me she had an interview and i told her great thats good. When i asked where she was going to work she told be Buffalo Wild Wings. Right then and there for some reason i just saw our relationship go down the drain. Perhaps i can explain why i felt this way.

Around here the Buffalo Wild Wings is an extremely busy sports bar where drunk guys go to play poker on a huge bigscreen, drink beer, watch the games, etc. My boys and I have been there and man its every guy's dreams, pretty ladies walking around everywhere and everything. My girlfriend is very cute, and loves attention. I am not sure how she is going to act when she is hit on every day for eventually a don juan will show up. I cant stand the thought of her working this job but i did not let her know this. I congratulated her after a successfull interview and played happy for her. I did tell her in a very straight forward and kinda serious manner that she WILL be hit on and for her to act like a good girlfriend, that was it. I never went to the topic again.

Im not sure how to feel about this or what to do
 

"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.

Kick yourself, seriously. It's a golden chance to go to her work, meet all of the girlfriend's friends, and if she gets taken away, she's not right, but you left yourself a great alternative.

Don't look at it as a downer. If something happens and someone is one up on you and takes her away, don't let the feeling of losing her get you down, let the feeling of her not being right for you guide yourself to the next girl and ultimately to more happiness.

Just a different viewpoint. blueangel adds another view, from a girl's viewpoint. It's a multisided world.

Let her have her job, and just understand that for one thing that happens, leads to another. She could be taken away and you have all of the other girls that you got a free-in with, or she could stay true, and you would win.

Either way, there is potential to win. Make sure all the paths don't shut off. :)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If she's hot she'll be getting hit on everywhere anyway. it doesn't make much difference if she gets hit 10 or 3 times a day, she still has to say no at least 3 times a day if she likes you.

Why is this a bad thing:

a) she can see guys at their worst, drunk hitting on her and her friends with the most unattractive pickup lines known to man

b) Free DRINKS

c) Nice place to chill, but don't go their too often or she'll think you're checking up on her

d) Eye candy for the soul, it's a big plus when all her friends start hitting on you. She'll think to herself "hey i got a winner here, gotta hang on to him"

rascal you are taking the PERFECT approach,look at it in a positive manner. If she decides to leave you then it wasnt meant to be. If anything your time with her should be more valuable because of the time she will spend there. She will meant jackazzes,jerks and straight arrogant people while working there. Granted she will meet alot of nice,cool,don jauns but in time she will learn to brush them off her shoulder thinking nothing of it. Just let her roam free,you dont own her. If you set a bird free and it comes back then it is truely your bird,if it doesnt then it was never yours. I think thats how the quote goes.

Let your love go. If she comes back, she's truly yours.

I know I'm inaccurate too, who wants to fetch the real quote?

If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it."

:D
 

"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.

I have never got anywhere with a bar girl. They get hit on all the time. They have heard it all. I bet even the best DJ's must have abit of trouble pulling them. You worry to much.

^ Good point, whatever your thoughts are is what you'll attract to yourself. If she senses (and she'll be able to) you worrying about her cheating on you, that will be your coup de grace.
 

"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.

DOC question.....

Hey, I dont know if I agree with this quote.. I think sometimes a quote gets popular because it sounds appealing, like "beauty is on the inside" but thats BULLSH.t... beauty is on the outside lol.... same goes, if true love, it would never leave u in first place lol




To threader,,,get used to it,,,there will be plenty of times were she will have opportunity to cheat, hook up etc... if your worried she not right for you...
