"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.

plain and simple if a woman responds to a text late at night on any given night 12:00am local time or later. and quickly. even if the message is mostly rhetorical. meaning you have to look into the message and come up with something to say that could initiate an actual conversation.

is that an IOI?

i've read a lot on these forums that timely responses to txt messages is just one piece of a grander puzzle. and that it is a warm IOI.

but i've also read some chicks respond because their either bored or like to text. however i was thinking this may be geared mostly towards day text. not late night.

thoughts?
 

"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 text my guy friends late at night, does that mean I'm secretly gay for them?

Stop over-analyzing

Could just be bored and bored/AW texting.

Don't read too much into it.

You Quite possibly could be gay.

I've never TEXTED a guy friend PERIOD late night. Why would i do that? If i need to meet up with them somewhere i'll call. then again plans were probably made early enough in the day. however why would i be texting guy friends anyway? my guy friends are there to go to bars with or hang out. not to chit chat and text each other cute messages at 2am.

also any woman I've been uninterested in i don't even respond period. unless its a text that's either funny or interesting and even then i send back "hah" or "nice.."

Unfortunately there's a lot of conflicting information on these forums but that's what happens when you have to many heads on a body.

So what i'm gathering here is that be a response or no response it means nothing.

It's cool if you're in denial, game probably works on guys 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.

who cares if its a sign of interest? quit searching for validation from girls. just assume everything she does is positive. does kobe care if the rim is interested in the ball? no. he just does what he knows works and swoooooosh.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
I text my friends whenever the fvck I want. Lol if your insecure about the whole gay thing .... then uh you may need to check your orientation buddy.

Anyway you are over analyzing . Plain and simple.

I think it can be an IOI, but tbh IOI on their own don't really mean shizzle.
My most recent girl usually texts me at random times in the night usually when she's out or bored on the internet...sure, it means she's thinking about me, but she's not texting me when she's with her friends is she?
So it's kind of crap.

Just don't get drawn in by it, stay cool and flirty with your texts and always be looking to set up a meet. You'll soon know if she's just looking for attention.

you should have said "come over to my place to look at my stamp collection"

If she said yes...thats an indicator of interest
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Generally it's good, but not necessarily an IOI. Obviously the CONTENT of texts is much more important.
good point.

if its. hey did you do that homework.

or

hey what you doing tonight you should come over.

two totally different topics.

however according to some in this threads. either text is "pointless" and "looking to much into things"
