"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.

Ok so im trying to number close this girl on pof. New to online dating. Here is the last message she sent me. First contacted her a few days ago.

Her: hey, dont think that i am smart and everybody loves me ok, just kidding but im cool and no, i dont like to cook but sometimes i do do u


----
What I have written to send her(would be my 3rd message sending her). I have failed to get past 1 or 2 messages with a few girls now and only number closed 1 fugly chick to give me some confidence.

Me: I like to eat more than I like to cook lol Hey playing email tag on here is pretty lame. How bout you give me your phone number and we go from there?



I feel like it is too scripted. Also english is not her 1st language. I am not sweating this chick(HB 7.5) btw but trying to improve my skills here. Thanks.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

^^^This on the other hand shows signs of neediness and seeking approval.

i don't like your response at all.

Every girl that messaged me back more then once I was able to number close with this.

"So at what point do we exchange numbers?"

"mine is xxx-xxx-xxxx"

Then they either call me or they leave their number on the following email.

Simple.


So, just write:

I'm cooking right now!

So at what point do we exchange numbers?

mine is xxx-xxx-xxxx

Ok

Trying to fix where I thought I was going wrong. Previously I went for the number after the initial message. My mindset is a work in progress.

Do you know what it is you want from her?
She is cute and has some qualities I like in a woman. As of right now...I want to see if she looks like her pics irl.
 

"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.

I don't know much about internet dating, but I like your approach. You're too cool for the email exchange, let's stop dancing around on the internet and exchange numbers. Sounds good to me, man.

Definitely don't water that down with "At what point do we exchange numbers?" It just takes all the testosterone out of what you already wrote, and makes you sound like a tax accountant.
