"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, guys. Well, I moved on from the last girl I liked. To be honest, I'd rather date inside of my school just because of the fact that if I date, out of school, I could get played, cheated on etc. since I'm not always around them. Anyway, there's this one girl who's pretty cool. She's so funny and not bad looking. Not to sound vain or anything, but her exes are definitely not better looking than me, so I feel like I could get her.

Only thing is, my close friend, I guess, used to like her but ended up getting rejected because the girl was embarrassed to be seen with my friend for reasons unimportant lol. But yeah my friend really liked her, and I feel like if I tell my friend that I was thinking about dating her, that we'd drift apart etc.

Another problem is, she just got broken up with for the second time by the same guy, like a week or two ago and she went on a rant the other day about how boys in our school are all the same and are all trash.

Of course, I'm not the same as everyone else but how could I prove this to her or even get her to look my way? We've been friends for years now so am I just wasting my time? And what about my friend?

If someone could help me out that'd be great, thanks again you guys.
 

"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.

She sounds like a peach. Ex boyfriend in the background and forground for that matter and Wouldn't date your friend because she was embarassed to be with him and hates men.

Good luck with this one. If i was you i would persue higher quality women.

Getting played and cheated on? Thats what women worry about,you just keep getting numbers man.and imo id hate the chick if i saw her for like 6 hrs adays every day and in the weekend,i will get bored easily.
all the same and
they hate the player/douche but end up falling for him.please for your own benifit,dont let her rant to you about other guys.
Lets wrap it up:1.friendzoned,2.onetits.3.insecure abit.4.not maximising your chances.5.whiteknighting and all that. Final note:dont think that looks are everything,you are better looking,but they wrapped her around thier fingers.
