"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.

thoughts on dating someone that doesn't turn your crank, but is good enough?

I've got a rapport going with a few girls right now that would make perfectly good partners (6-7.5) but don't really affect my heart rate too much. However, I DO have a couple possibilities I'm pursuing that are so hot I have to really concentrate to stay calm (7.5-9).

The issue? Fate is cruel...both of the hotties are in my once-a-week Friday classes, and the regular cute girls I see three to four times a week. Should I go for the more-likely catches or the less-likely catches? It's not like having high standards is a bad thing, but it's not like those'll keep me warm at night...
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

eliminate the ones with boyfriends then if any are left go for the hottest.

infact go for the one you would be happiest with first, no harm in trying is there just make sure if you don't get her the others don't know they where second choice :)

Makes perfect sense, man...that's just what I thought I'd get.

One thing I've also noticed is that I relax a hell of a lot more with women I won't make a move on (married/attached women, coworkers, etc). For some reason the fact I can't do anything about it makes me take more of a take-no-prisoners approach to flirting...meetings with my career counselor are NOTHING but thinly failed flirting sessions right now.

You stole the words out of my mouth haha. This is the best advice, go with the one that has the highest value first, and work yor way down :rockon:
 

"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.
