"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.

After a failure with a HB in second block. (all i did was smile and give her a whats up nod, to which i received a nasty look that i tried to play off)
I talked to a girl in 3rd whom expressed interest in me. we made some conversation and convinced her to try out a new hairstyle for me. she did, but i wasnt around to see it. skip to the next day.

I decided to make a move. me being me i waited till the end of class hoping i wouldnt have to hit on her in front of her friends (and EX) and hesitation grew within me. I decided to go balls out and as i tried to contain my nervousness, went up and put my arm around her and negged her for not having the hairstyle for me that day. I dont think it went well with her but she said she would date me.

next day, being the last day of spring break, i said F*ck it and asked what she was doing over spring break. I then invited her to go to the shooting range. I gave her my number and she texted me. This is how it went.

HB: Kevin?
Me: Good guess. whose this?
HB: It's HB
Me:haha, did you think i gave you the wrong number?
(No response) and hour later after my workout i texted
Me:If i dont have work sunday we can make some noise on the range.
HB:i thought you did.
HB: sorrii i didnt text back sooner. i misplaced my phone.

where did i screw up and how can i fix this if i did? i dont know why but i feel like im slowly digging myself into a hole here.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Brotip: Calm the **** down.

To me it seems you did perfectly fine. Don't let your anxiety about ****ing up, well, **** you up.

The one thing that sticks out for me is that face that you're taking a girl to a shooting range. It's not necessarily bad, just a pretty "unique" place to bring a date. :p
haha. well theres not much to do where i live. and i remember reading a post about how action dates are the best. So naturally my first option is the gun cabinet. i thought it was pretty creative haha

Lol, that actually is a pretty creative date. Completely out of the ordinary as well. Tell us how it goes.
 

"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.
