"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.

Background: I just broke up with my LTR of two years. It was a friendly breakup, so friendly that we agreed to be friends with benefits.

Anyway, we were having lunch yesterday and making out, rubbin each other etc. and we start talking about how exactly this f-buddy thing is going to work. We agree, first of all, that any threesomes we come up with must involve someone the other person doesn't know. So far so good.

But THEN:

ex-GF: I wonder how our knew boyfriends and girlfriends will take us being such gropey lovers all the time.
Leporello: Well, I guess we'll have to stop.
Ex-GF (putting her hand on my crotch) Oh, we'll have to stop...in public, anyway.

So... is this a good idea? If I understand it rightly, she's basically offering me unlimited pvssy as long as she's around, even if we're seeing other people. Can I just take this no worries or is this her way of not actually breaking up with me?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

What the hell are you worried about she is your fvck buddy, you are getting the best of both world. My advice would be to keep fvcking that pvssy **** other pvssys, and get her to have a threesome with you.

Rather confusing. Assume things are over and don't give it a second thought.

She sounds like she has things planned out for herself. A new guy and still gettin other penis on the side. Every woman's dream!
 

"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.

bad situation waiting to happen... unless your relationship was kindof open to begin with...

u think you wont be jealous when her new boyfriend tells her to not see or talk to you, and will make sure she doesnt?

i think you'll feel like ****... if its over, then its over.. when i broke up with my LTR of 1.5 years i told her straight up that she wont see or hear from me for a while.. and she still hasnt...

bro, there's never such thing as a good breakup unless you are both fed up of eachother and never want to see eachother agian, which from the sounds of it, thats not the case... all this public loving and "benefits" crap just reinforces the fact that you ARENT broken up...

Wait to see how long this lasts when you tell her about a chick you're seeing or try to break off this whole 'f-buddy' thing with her because you want to enter a relationship with another girl.

Just you wait to see how she handles that. :)

It sounds like this chick wants to have her cake and eat it - and it's highly unlikely she will let you do the same.

I would assume this is all on her terms wether you care to admit it or not.

I imagine she wants to sleep with other guys but keep you there as her back-up or 'regular' - until she finds the right guy to be in her next 'relationship' - then you're out of there.

..And you're going along with it, willingly.

Try it out, but if it happens that sex isn't on your terms, or that she resents you or with-holds sex if you're seeing other girls.. you will know you have been suckered my friend.

Your heart. That's what she has.

If it wasn't such a problem and you're totally detached and just want some va-china, why are you even asking us about it?
