"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 like her, she likes me. All in all, she's a pretty sweet package:

-Very intelligent, she's basically top of the class.
-Extremely attractive, she's easily a nine.
-Very cool. What can I say, I like her.

She came off as pretty innocent but she definitely has a wild side. This kind of shook me up a little, I wasn't expecting it. I'm not really in a rush to go steady, in fact, I'm determined not to...yet. So this is unfamiliar territory for me. I'd like to be "friends with benefits" for a few months.

With me being her exclusive friend.

So yeah, I haven't done anything and she expects me to. I was hoping I could get some advice on doing it without making it "official" and all the responsibilities that come with that. While keeping her satisfied with the state of the relationship. Should I just move in and pray melodrama doesn't collapse on top of me?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

just go with it man.

don't worry about what she's wantin. just focus on what you want. maybe something works out, maybe not. keep your attachment in check. hopefully she does the same. if she doesn't, well, its not your bad. you were trying her out, she's not the one, what can ya do? think about it from her perspective, if you turned out to not be the one, i bet she fukk u off pritty darn quick. she won't care bout your feelings right. its a tryout. think of it as such.

The investment was already made, oneitus has gripped us both. Sounds dirty to say, but there was a pretty solid connection from the get go. What can I say, I have a way about me. I just need to detach myself and become a dikc and I'd be right where I want to be. Alas, I get attached to beautiful, smart, and funny women.

I just want to limit my oneitus.

My older friend told me the only way to get better with women is to get your heart broken. That sounds like it sucks. This seems like a prime opportunity too...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Thanks lol, sorry about your dinner.

They were words of wisdom, so it wasn't a complete waste of an egg.

"friends with benefits" with you being the only friends sounds to me like a relationship without any of the male disadvantages, only the female ones.

that said, if you're completely new at dating women, you have to start somewhere. I'd say an intelligent, beautiful, funny nine is a good way to do that.

Dude, sometimes oneitis can be okay. If you guys like each other then enjoy. Don't get so tied up in wether or not shes a Republican while you pop ectasy and vote for the green party.

Alright maybe I went to far but to me it sounds like your trying to follow some ASF/DJ rulebook. Trust me, one of the most important things in this world is to be able to think for yourself. If you want a relationship then get a relationship. If you want a harem, then check into therapy, because no guy in his right mind can handle that many women on his own.

okay, maybe that wasn't funny, but it made me laugh.

Boo! Where's the help I need? It's closer to me being hungry and her being a burrito. She tastes/looks/smells good but is going to bring out some serious siht later. I'd much rather eat half of the burrito to avoid Montezuma's revenge and yet be satisfied. If that makes sense.

I don't want to share my burrito either. And I may want to try some side dishes.

Aren't you counting your chickens before they're hatched?

True that. But I have the fertile eggs right here. So I might as well.

If I break them I'll go get more.
