"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.

Hey.
I've been in a relationship for a little over three months now, one thing I always wonder about is; is it alright for guys to tell their girlfriends to have a good weekend / day / good luck etc etc, all that kind of stuff? I'm thinking it could be perceived as clingy and be a turn-off. Maybe if it happens intermittently, it could have a beneficial effect? Just want to know what you guys think about it.

One more thing, sometimes when she texts, she says 'i miss you' or 'miss you heaps,' you get the gist of it. From what I've read, I know that there should rarely be a time where you say it back. Can you suggest what to say in this situation?

Thanks in advance :)
 

"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.

in my opinion saying good weekend / day / good luck etc to anybody is just being polite, its not seducing or anything :p

well yeah it's the thought that counts. i don't see anything wrong with it, if you feel like you want her to have a good weekend/day/goodluck and all that, just say it and she'll probably say "thanks, you too" but yeah, it's nothing that will significantly change the way she perceives you. as for the "miss you" one. i always say "i wouldn't blame you" or "i know ;)" i usually get a laugh and the occasional "jerk" but that doesn't change that she still misses me :cool:

theirs nothin wrong with saying i miss you to your gf...

i said to mine sometimes. and she said it back and it was a bonding moment fa sho.
 

"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.

Sometimes you should say it, other times you should just act like a jerk by saying "I know" or something like that.

Ah okay, I see now. Fair enough
While we're on this, would it be okay to say it first?

of course but dont say it too often, so she doesnt get used to it. like not more than once a week. and tell her how much you miss her, you have to be romantic!

just dont be needy about it...

if you truly havent seen her in a while. then tell her...

but if it hasnt been that long then whatever...

if you are occupying your self with other activites then you wont even be thinking about how much you miss her till she calls you...

so just keep it real
