"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.

The following has nothing to do with my sex life, because well, my sex life is pretty much dead. Also, I've decided that I will not be handing out advice until I get my **** together and start growing some serious balls. I'm talking about contracting elephantiasis here, people. Anyway, this post has nothing to do with big balls. Not in that way, anyway.

Basically, here's a short conversation with an ex-girlfriend of mine. Well, not so much an ex-girlfriend as a FB without the "F". We were an on and off couple who didn't have sex because I respected her decision to wait since she was a virgin, okay? Long story short, I broke up with her about four months ago, because I was tired of being the guy that she kept running back to when she decided the other guys were a bunch of losers. It was either we stop beating around the bush and call this thing official or I wanted nothing to do with her... Even a **** would have been nice, christ. She was still unsure what she wanted, so I completely dropped her until recently.

Well, basically, here's a short clip from our conversation via Yahoo! IM.

Her: I don't get why you were ever attracted to me.
Me: Are we on that subject, again?
Her: No...
Me: Good
Her: *Sigh*
(She signs off)

Well, it's not getting me laid, but I think that was good.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

sounds like she was upset and you made her more upset
Good. The point of this was not that I wanted to get her back, get f*cked or impress her. The point was that at one time, she would've said something like that and pulled me right back in, because I'd have assumed there was a chance for this to go somewhere other then makeout and ass grabbing sessions. Instead, I grew some balls and in so many words, told her no. We're not going down that route, again.
 

"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.

Avoid exgfs, they're bad news. There's a huge X infront of them for a reason.

I see your point but she is still human. But yea I get what you mean.
