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.
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.

I strongly agree here, to which I add that your gut is the ultimate gauge following this first evaluation.TillTheEndOfTime said:If she's not excited or enthusiastic about going out with you (believe me you will know when she is), it is going nowhere. That pretty much sums up everything.

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Ach - you beat me to it :crackup:SpazzAttackk said:When her mouth is wrapped around your dvck. Thats a tell-tale sign!

Most men try to 'decipher' a woman's encrypted message inside-out, left-to-right, diagnoal-hexagonal, present-past-future. Men who have NO OPTIONS try to hard to logically illogicaly think themselves into a deducted conclusion that a woman is interested based on a tiny unsubstantial amount of evidence:
- Oh yeah, she didn't reply to my text, but it was after 9pm! she probably went to bed early (bs)
- Maybe she is really sick... (bs)
- She must be playing hard to get (bs)
- She looked at me .00005 seconds longer than other people (bs)
- Wait, did she touch me as she walked by? Was that kino? (bs)
- Her leg is crossed and facing towards me (bs)
The simple thing is, if you don't get a STRAIGHT FORWARD answer and have to guess on the response, you should be hitting the NEXT button.
A woman fully interested in you will make no mistakes about a clear response to seeing you.

#5 happened to me. Funny thing was that she showed signs of interest in other ways. She went along with my plans, returned my text msgs, etc. But on our second date she ended it early with a lame excuse totally out of the blue. I know she has an ex that she really liked. Maybe she got a text and they're getting back together?Victory Unlimited said:Here are few for you:
1. When she claims to not "know" if she'll be free or not on the day that you ask her to go out with you on a date.
2. When she "suddenly" tells you that her cousin, her best friend from out of town, or her relatives have come to town on the day she was supposed to go out with you.
3. When she calls you @ 11am to cancel a date you have with her at 7pm that same night because she's not "feeling well". (What she's telling you is that she ain't even PLANNING on trying to feel better to go out with yo' ass 8 HOURS LATER!!!)
4. On the day of the date itself: When she claims to have FORGOTTEN that you even asked her out in the first place!
5. When she goes out with you but ENDS THE DATE early----claiming she has to get up early in the morning or she has to go pick her kids, etc.
6. When she agrees to go out with you------but surprises you by bringing someone on the date "with her"------to block you from getting anywhere near close to her.
I could go on. But I'll let the other So Suavers chime in...
V.U.
LOL I don't think there's a guy alive that hasn't gotten this one!Dust 2 Dust said:She doesn't return phone calls and claims her phone wasn't working. Lamest excuse there is.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
