"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.

This isn't really a big deal, but i don't really know what the general populace thinks about this, and I'm curious.

I've never really focused on this before, but I started talking to this girl and last night she asked me if i wanted to meet her for a drink at so-and-so. It'll be our first get together. I already had plans to meet some other people so i said i'd contact her soon and set something up for another night.

Anyway today I txt her

"Mon or Tues evening are good for me. Do you have a preference for which day to meet up?"

She says
"Monday and Tuesday are kind of odd days but, i guess either is fine with me. Just let me know."

I set it up and made it firm so everything is cool, but...

Mon and Tues are considered odd dates to date? I purposely picked them so it wouldn't be too far in the future but i didn't want it to be like "please come out immediately because i have no plans for the weekend."
 

"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.

from my experiences, weekdays are the best time to setup first dates and during the initial stages of getting to know a woman.

You shouldn't make yourself available to chicks you barely know on weekends(unless you're guaranteed to screw). She'll think you don't have anything else going on.

dont act like it's a big deal and it wont be. youre the man, and your style of dating will be something she gets used to. if you act like "really? why is it an odd day?" then she'll have a good reason to feel like it's an odd day to date. give her the idea that she's over thinking things or being silly, and she'll drop her judgements on "monday and tuesday being odd" in a jiffy

I agree with GuanYu, weekday/night dates are the best in inital stages, because a) it isnt a "bar" night b) places arent as busy, so there is less noise and distraction, so youre able to talk better c) weeknight dates seem to have less pressure imo. You set the time and date if she likes you it wont matter.

Plus, with weeknight dates, you've got an built-in bailout excuse (work / school tomorrow) to end the evening on your terms.

BUT, having said that, there are some women I know that think a guy is just stringing them along if they never get a weekend date eventually.
 

"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.

Dude, date on a Tuesday or Wednesday. It makes you seem popular since most guys date on weekends.

Weekdays are definitely the way to go.

Women are idiots sometimes. It's your world. you're the prize. she needs to understand that sooner or later. Be unique and proud. Nobody fvcks with your world and way of life. :nono:

A weekday might be "odd" to some people because they don't go out during the week. However, they're good for initial dates, because, as someone already pointed out, if things suck, you have that built in alibi, you need to get home early to do work / study / whatever you do with life. However, on the weekends, you either need to throw out the "I need to meet my friends later" excuse right up front, which is kind of rude, or give a see-through excuse which is also in bad form.

Sounds like it was a good play for you. She needs to -earn- a weekend date!
