Maybe??
"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.
Taking A Rejection With Grace?

- Start date
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think that for a lot of guys, the rejections genuinely don't bother them. I can understand the mindset where it wouldn't, or shouldn't. Numbers game and all. It just so happens for me, I don't like it.
Not surprised to hear that David Deangelo is the source of the smirking. Apparently he's helped a lot of guys, but I could never quite embrace him. I mean, an occasional c0cky/funny comment can be amusing. But to build an entire personality on it, or to build an entire dating strategy on it? Sounds like madness to me. Besides, if I was around someone like that for eight hours a day, I'd most likely want to punch them in the mouth.
Then he named one of his dating products "C0cky Comedy". I've said before that PUAs have the worst terminology of any field I can think of, and that title fits right in.

Precisely.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that it works well on women. But...
I personally wouldn’t want to adopt a persona that I, as a guy, view as irritating.
I’ve known some guys that are c&f “naturals.” I can only take them in small doses and would never consider being friends with them.

All depends on her body language. If I think she is really interested I'll give her my 1st name and number and say, "Here's my name and number if 'maybe' becomes a 'yes' and time id right let me know, but don't wait too long." Then that's it sometimes they call, usually they don't. If my read on her is that she really isn't interested, I don't say anything... just keep on with what I'm doing.
