"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.

(Or, how to think your self out of ass)

This may be a good laugh ...

Using public transportation, you often have to share seats with people, that is when the bus is pretty packed. This is usualy the case, anyway for busy routes like the ones I take. Every so often a nice looking girl will sit next to me, most of the time blabbing on their phones are listening to music or talking to their friends.

Well, tonight I get off work and head home. I got on my 2nd bus and, as usual its a bit packed, but starts clearing out as the route gets further out east. One stop, three people got on, I thought they where together, two sat in a seat next row over and one behind me, a slim girl wearing some Paris Hilton-type sunglasses (at quarter till 8 at night) plops down next to me. Me, Im listening to my ipod, ironicly a Radio interview with Danial Rose for the sex god method. I look about noticed some other open seats, so I am thinking, she is probably with these people. I proceed to listen to more of the interview, albiet a bit uncomfortable now, or maybe it was just the whole irony of the situation. For a moment, I pondered, just take my headphones off and say something, then, nah, she is with the other two people.

So here I sit, a pretty girl, very slim, sitting next to me with me listening to some radio interview on sex. I did not even get a real good look at her. Nevertheless, the thoughts started to pop into my head and I start to notice she is not sitting still. I sit still, facing forward, not paying her too much attention. Then she starts turning her head slightly looking in my general area, it was fairly obvious as I seen her head move and I was wearing a ball cap facing forward. She takes a half-dozen quick sideways glances, fiddles a bit with her phone again, gets in her purse and pulls out the makeup. And applies it...

Seems to me that she may be looking for something. My gut starts to sink a little, you know, that nervous feeling. I start feeling like a dumbass and I start to think maybe this chick wants me to say something to her...

You know, the other empty seats she could have sat in...
The quick glances
The makeup application
My gut thinking maybe I should say hi
My brain asking my gut, "you want me to do what!?"

Then the people she got on the bus with gets off. She is still on, another empty seat she could go to still in the same area. Most people would take the seat. Some stay where they are, but for the most part, the empty seat would have been taken. The slim chick with the paris hilton-ish sunglasses stayed next to me.

My stop was headed up fast. She finished her mini-make over and still stayed. My stop came up.... well, should say our stop, cause she got off at the same damn bus stop I did and now I feel like an utter jackass because I kind of rushed getting off the bus, not knowing she was getting off at the stop I was. I was just trying to get out of her way so she could sit back down. I almost asked her if this was her stop too, I started to get the feeling it was...

What a jackass :rolleyes: Where is the mute button for my brain :trouble: :kick:

Just thought I would share. It sure the heck seemed as if she was giving me signals to open her. Could be wrong, but I guess I will not know now. :rolleyes:
 

"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.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
Damn right you'll never know. You have a lot of threads on kicking yourself, fear, do you think she was looking at me, etc. Even if you say hi then crash and burn, you can't possibly tell me it could be worse than just sitting there.

Do yourself a favour. Next time, just tap her shoulder, look into her eyes, smile and say hi. If she ignores you ask for the time and try your best to continue the convo. It's all practice. You're almost 30 man; it's time for this to stop.
Sure your body language may be incongruent and sure your voice might falter but honestly, who cares? Are you trying to impress the bus people?

Man I see some of the stuff you write and I know you're a smart guy. Hell I know a lot of people on here give themselves any credit. But your first thread said it was the last straw so what are you doing now? When I hear someone say that I expect more. I expect change. Now do the smart thing and open your mouth next time you're out. I'll look for a field report in a couple days man and I know you can do it. Don't disappoint me, don't disappoint everyone here who's reading the thread and most of all don't disappoint yourself.

We'll be waiting. PM me if you need anything extra but I feel we're set. It's high time to get this part of your life together.
P.S. This goes out to all of you who work damn hard at what they do but can't open their mouth in fear of some tiny 115 pound girl. Is this the life you guys want? Well if you don't make an effort that's too bad, welcome to reality.

Damn, I love slimmies!!!!

If you take the bus regularly then you should have had some bus pick-up lines in your arsenal!

Something like, "People pay 500 dollars to have a Limo to drive them around town - we only pay a dollar and get chauffeured by something 5 times the size of a limo." After she chuckles you say, "What's your name slimmie?"

Heart Break Kid, Thanks for the pep talk

LMS, thanks for the one liner

Backbreaker, thanks, I needed that too
 

"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.

@ slith,

Please remember that you only live life once. You don't even know if you will ever see that chick again,so why not go-for-the-gusto?

Let me break it down for you this way,this is all that could happen. Keep in mind I was nervous as heck but had the what the heck attitude.

-Went to the gym,met this chick,my friend left and I was wondering if I should get her number or not,I was scared and didn't ask and felt like sh1t for not asking. I got lucky and the next day she was in the gym again and I got her number. My voice cracked and I was kinda nervous when I asked but hey it worked. I went out with her for awhile and she tought me a lot about life even though it didn't last long.

-I went to the beach today and saw this BEAUTIFUL asain chick. Think Tera Patrick look w/o the porn,no joke that's exactly what popped in my mind. I was thinking of how I could approach her but I was stalling not even coming up with anything. So I went up to the people I saw her with and asked if she came with her boyfriend or anything. They replied that none of them knew her and that she just showed up with one of their friends. One said that she was on the phone with her boyfriend earlier so I said screw it.
Oh well,live and learn. That sure felt better then just sitting around doing nothing.

Dude you never know,just go for it!

If your ever in the slightest doubt about approaching just remember how crappy/pissed you felt when you didn't approach and let another opportunity go by.

Good Luck!

I can solve your problem in one phrase: Think less, act more.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
