"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.

Beyond your peripheral vision
i am curious as to what some of the craziest/wackest things you have done because of someone you were infatuated with. and if you learned from them? afc moments are expected, don't be shy!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I can't believe that no one has replied yet.


I haven't done any that you may consider real crazy. Just did your classic signs of oneitis/infatuation: calling very frequently, setting up dates in very short intervals (just so she wouldn't "forget" me), putting her in the highest priority and forgetting friends, family, work, school etc.

lol. I fell rather heavily for a girl and she stopped returning my calls and broke off contact.

I started writing songs about her with lyrics, a melody, saxophone solos and harmonies. I went for a mix of doowop and soul-sort of Al Green/Marvin Gaye/Barry White sort of thing. My friend is a musician and he recorded the songs and edited them to make them sound professional. It sounded pretty damn good if I may say so myself. At one stage I was seriously considering giving it to her as a Christmas present-but my friend said it would creep her out even more.

I've written songs about my exes, but never considered giving them a recorded copy (or even love poetry for that fact). I tried sending a girl at school a rose on Valentines day. She never spoke to me again.

But here's one that I just remembered.....

I was in a computer class. A girl I had a thing for was in the same computer class, but a different period. So, being the chicken 5hit I was, I took her floppy out of the plastic floppy storage thingy. I took it to my computer, wrote her a note asking her out, and saved it in a file called A-OPENME.WPS (we were using Microsoft Works on crappy XTs back then). I put the disk back and waited.

About a week later, there was a piece of paper in my floppy disc jacket that said "Open This". I opened the note and the fvcking chills just ran down my spine. She *****ed me out for tampering with her personal property.
