"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.

I have been with a girl for a couple of months now. To be honest, i usually do not catch feelings, but this time i will admit it right away, i have caught a few.

The girls is starting her engineering education next week, this means joining not only a class - but a school - of 85% guys, and 15% Girls. She is beautiful, a Solid 7, very outgoing and social. I am not really the jealous type, but i have already begun to wonder what will happen, and whether i will loose her or not.

I know this all comes down to my own insecurities, and that it is a "wrong" thing to even care whether she finds another one, or not.
- But for once, i care about this girl for real, and i might as well admit it, i WILL get hurt if i loose her over some random dude from engineering school.

So whats your take on GF's/Plates starting college? Are/DID you worry about it, and if so, how did it go? And what kind of advice could you give me in my current situation?

Much Appreciated,

Regards,

European..


UPDATE:
She is not going to move away, nor move into college, this is not something you do as much as in the states - she's going to have the exact same distance as before.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I she moving away? Is this going to be a LDR?

If not, then you're just being insecure IMO. You can't worry about other men, there will ALWAYS be other men somewhere. School, work, whatever. That, for the most part, is out of your control. What is in your control is YOU.

To be quite honest, I went to a tech high school, where the gender spread was relatively the same. I have seen what constant and "unlimited" attention does to girls, so I am still a bit worried.

However, while she enjoys attention to some degree (I believe most girls do), she is not an AW. On the other hand, I know her jokes can be a bit confusing towards guys, because they are usually sexual in some context.

I might just be overreacting a bit, hopefully it won't show, or else the relationship is pretty much doomed beforehand..


Appreciate the answers.

85% engineering nerds.
So, not really anything to worry about.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You and your girl should switch majors, then she will be a nurse and you will be an engineer. That makes more sense eh :rolleyes:

Going away to college is a perfect storm for a breakup and has been for me in the past(on both sides), however engineering guys are pretty beta generally. The real issue is how outgoing/i.e. flirty AW you think she is.
You're underestimating a rather large number of engineers. I know a number of them, work on a naval base with civilian ones, and they're not all helpless with women at all. That they're smart doesn't automatically make them nerds that just play League of Legends all night. They're in the weight room and going to football games too. I actually find them usually manlier than the computer science guys.

If this girl is young and attractive at a school with this many more guys, there are still going to be a ton of engineers that can light her lamp.

Like everything else, it depends.

It isn't as if you're some bum not doing anything with your life - you're trying to be a doctor so I'm sure she feels you're a great catch and wouldn't wanna mess that up. But who knows? She may begin to develop feelings for someone else. **** happens. It hasn't happened yet, so don't worry about it. And if it does happen, know that everything happens for a reason and it is likely because you are meant to be with someone else.

Good luck.
 

"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.

That's it. You've lost. Break up with her right now. The moment you become scared or worried of losing her is the moment you put all power in her hands. Your actions will slowly start to reflect it too. You will slowly become a groveling AFC who will do anything to appease her.

She should be the one worried about you banging other girls while she's away. Not you being worried. This is the real test of if you are a beta or not. Set your mind on other goals and activities and women you can do while she's away. Don't be a chump.

You're 22, which is too young to be tied down in a relationship. If you really like this girl then let her go but be positive and let her know that she needs to develop and you need to develop if down the road you two meet up again then perhaps you can see if there's still chemistry.

Otherwise if you continue down the road you are going you'll get jealous and she'll resent you for being too involved in her life and eventually she'll "meet" some other guy.

In the meantime go out and meet lots of women and taste life who knows if 5 years you could be a completely different person in a completely different place and in love with a totally different woman.
