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.

This. How else do you get to know a woman besides listening? Lead her in the conversation...tell her what to talk about, her childhood, her family, the way she was raised, her first love, get all of that information so you can judge what kind of woman she is and treat her accordingly. If she throws out a lot of ho like tendencies...treat her like a ho...you dig? She's giving you the keys to her mind through her words and your mad about that? Pimp hard baby, pimp harder!Allurre said:Keep them gunning with their mouths.
Learn all you can about them.
