"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.

Hey been awhile since I've been on the site anyway


So this girl I've been seeing for awhile now (weve been friends for along time) said that she liked me and she felt like she could be her self around me. She's been in a few bad relationships but she genuinely likes me.

Finally met her on the subway and we talked before my stop, stopped being a ***** ran back into the subway and asked her out. She said yes and we kissed and all. As you may know I was pretty much the happiest guy through my classes (I go to college and so does she) the thing is she calls me later and sais that she doesn't know if shes ready for a relationship. She said that she obviously wants to date me but it's not the right time now since she constantly works and of course has school and that she may not see me as much. Now the question is should I wait it out? Should I just be more open with my relationships and date other girls or should I hang out with her anyway and wait for a later time to date her. FYI I really do like her.

Thanks in advance :)
 

"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.

So, she has time to hang out with you, but not date you? I'm not quite sure I understand.

Well, I take that back. I don't understand it the way you described it. Sounds like just an excuse to not date you. Sorry to say it.

What is dating really aside from "hanging out"? It's her excuse to be friends with you, and not having anything sexual.

Could be that she just wants him as her ego fix, to pay for dinner at dates, buy her coffee, talk to her on the phone, listen to her problems and give her the attention fix that she craves, but if she wants to bang someone she will find herself a jerk.

that's always the feeling I get when a woman says she doesn't want to date you or get serious or whatever.

Turning a long time friend into a lover is a tough one to do.

said that she liked me and she felt like she could be her self around me.

Not a bad thing, but sounds "friend-like."

She's been in a few bad relationships but she genuinely likes me.

A few bad relationships = I like to date bad boys. The relationships s*ck, but the s*x is hot.

Finally met her on the subway and we talked before my stop, stopped being a ***** ran back into the subway and asked her out.

Good for you man.

She said yes and we kissed and all. As you may know I was pretty much the happiest guy through my classes (I go to college and so does she)

As much as it's oneitis, I can't blame for you for being excited. We've all been there.

the thing is she calls me later and sais that she doesn't know if shes ready for a relationship.

Houston we have a problem. She likes you as a person, but doesn't want to close off her other sexual options.

She said that she obviously wants to date me but it's not the right time now since she constantly works and of course has school and that she may not see me as much.

School "dating" takes minimal time. This is an excuse.

Now the question is should I wait it out? Should I just be more open with my relationships and date other girls or should I hang out with her anyway and wait for a later time to date her. FYI I really do like her.

Don't expect anything from her. She's torn between two things:

1. She does feel comfortable around you and probably enjoys your company.

2. But she still lusts for the "bad relationship" / "bad boy" thing.

In the end, with most young women, when they are torn between what their heart wants and what their vag wants, the vag wins 98% of the time.

So, go after other girls and back off on this one.

6/5 that there is someone else in the picture

we make this harder than it has to be. when you really like someone you date them. it's not the right time because she still has feelings/taking it in the bum from someone else

the correct ansewr is to simply date other chicks and tell her that you don't wait around for anyone.And odn't say that just to get her to make her do something, mean it. date other women, move on, she's a stroke job.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Well guys thanks for the honest answers, the harsh truth unfortunately... And yeah my options are open and I'm just going to move on and forget about her already starting to ignore her more after that event...

Guess it's true what they say. **** *****es, get money.

You just misunderstood her for you have no clue about women. You desperate for vagina and woman's attention, no girl will ever devote you her full attention. You spend all your time with her, talking, and fall in love with her because its your nature. She thought of you as her girlfriend because women talk to each other. You judged her interest level in you by her words not her actions.

Fvck money it's dirty.

Remain friends with her, tell her you sorry for being lonely and desperate, you like want to remain friends with her.
