"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.

So I happened to be listening to 'morning edition' one morning about a year to a year and a half ago and they had a male and a female author talking about a book they had written completely full of 'backhanded compliments' and such that women use on one another.. All of them were highly plausible deniable cutdowns and self-esteem questioning things, and I thought it sounded pretty amusing at the time, but didn't bother to make a mental note of the author names or the title.. Im hoping someone here might know it, because all my efforts to search for it (google, amazon.com, etc) have lead me nowhere.. I know it has a male and female author, and I know that description that I gave, but have found it difficult to come up with 'search terms' to describe it accurately (other than backhanded compliments which didnt turn up much)..

Heeelp, pleeease! These things would likely step up anyone's game in conjunction with the 'MM' style thinking..
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm not really sure of the book you're talking about, but DAMN, that WOULD be quite an asset for my game, (mostly MM mixed with Zan'ish' stuff). But, MM's game doesn't really heavily on negs. As in, you can only use at max, 3-5 negs in any given set. And some of those may be disqualifiers, and not even negs.
Even so, if you find that book, that would be AWESOME!
