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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Really? lol…what are some cool statements or innuendo you would have used for this one?She's definitely difficult, but you're not doing yourself any favors either.
She messaged you first, and you went into interview mode with small-talk questions that don't get you any closer to getting her number and taking the conversation off the app. You also closed out the conversation horribly.
There aren't any.Really? lol…what are some cool statements or innuendo you would have used for this one?
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.
For example, what would you reply after that if you were op?you were already trying to recover from a bad first impression rather than building on a good one.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Ok. I'm wrong! Not a scammer. At least doesn't appear to be.I continued on with the conversation, I got her Facebook.

She doesn't look haggard to me, but I don't see how you can see anything, the picture is so dark.Attractive? She looks like a haggard and poisonous older woman.
Maybe I'm ornery but as soon as I would read "Curious for what If you read my profile, you well know" women like this tend to be insufferable from my OLD experience and also mean-spirited. Our personalities would not mesh, and I would block with the swiftnessI usually get my dates by being myself and acting laid back and casual but I guess this chick was spoiled as usual and it would probably have been a good idea to use a more dominant c0cky and funny tone on her from the ghetko.
