"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.

Try again in the future or toss number?

What's up brehs, I asked this girl out and got hit with the text below. Would you recommend I save number and try again if I feel like it in the future, or toss it?

She caught my eye so that's the only reason I'm considering the former. It doesn't seem like a concrete rejection since she did previously say she would go out with me but she's seeing someone.

Obv my response wasn't genuine but it seemed the best way to go about things since I do occasionally interact with her at school.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

it's really obvious she's telling you she doesn't want to because she's seeing someone. actions speak louder than words

Toss the number.

When it's all set and it's a rejection. It's also an easy way to keep you as a orbiter because in your mind you are thinking "Well if I was there before, I was going to date\sleep with this chick" Then your ego will take over and you will try to stick around.

You did well on the text, so when you see her in public acknowledge her and get going.

Moral of the story: Don't be an orbiter, if something will happen in the future, she has your number.

She is viewing you as an orbiter and your response is making it even clear that you are an orbiter.

This is going nowhere.

thanks for the response guys, I don't see how I'm an orbiter since we're not friends and communication was kept to a minimum

anyway, you're right.. She has my number so it's on her

You should of said "Ok, just let me know if you change your mind" in those cases. When you said "hope it works out", while ambiguious, it seems like you're rooting for them to hook , kind of stepping aside for this other guy to claim her.

Beta, dude.

Whatever. At the very least she was straight up and told you she was seeing someone instead of using you for attention or ego and stringing you along. Take the clue, toss the digits. A better reply may have been "alright, take care". But no biggie. Maybe she'll reach out at some point, but that's up to her. Keep on truckin' and don't contact her again. If you see her in person, keep it cordial but short.

Next time you get that I'm seeing someone else, respond with "That's fine, I have other options." Alas, your princess is in another castle. Ditch this b**ch and move on. Unless you want to be another of her orbiters of course.

It's on her to reach out but don't hold your breath.

Case closed. Get out of my court.
