"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.

Well what was the purpose of you starting the no contact to begin with?
When you started it,what were hoping the outcome would be?
What were you trying to make your ex do?
Another thing....you're trying no contact on your ex? Why?
If she's an ex,that means you two have a prior history....and it was somewhat of a negative one if it led you two ending the relationship.
You left out too much information. All we know is that this girl is your ex.
We don't know why,what happened to cause the breakup,how long you two were together,who proposed the breakup,or what reason she (or you) gave for wanting to leave each other.
"No Contact" isn't a magic wand. It doesn't magically fix every romantic situation.
You haven't given enough info for us to determine if this is a situation where no contact would be effective or not.
So either you did the no contact incorrectly,or you applied it to a situation it was never meant to solve.
A "plan B'? Well....you could always move on.tebow1120 said:
Yeah, sometimes it "works" and she crawls back (most of the times only to find out why are you not crying anymore - to make you cry again).
And you should be disappointed at that moment - "What a hell that broad wants now?"
Forget games, man. Games are for chicks and homos.

"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.
So, MY advice is, if NC doesnt work, use her for either a slump killer, or to get your mind off another girl.

I agree with Sandow. I've been on a few dates with girls around campus this year. Once it's clear they're not really into it (they give excuses, become more unavailable, etc.), I never hear from them again. It's probably different for LTR's, but for dating at the casual stage, I have not seen a girl come begging for my attention.Sandow said:
As for the OP, just move on and find other girls. It's a win-win: you may find a girl that really likes you, and if the original girl still has feelings, she'll let you know it by repeatedly contacting you (unless she is an attention wh0re).
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
