I'm kinda confused on this.
Someone that just doesn't care??
Someone that just doesn't care??
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.
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.
That makes sense. Sorry it was a stupid question.Mike32ct said:It's a bit deeper than that Sam.
It's a guy with good looks AND is very full of himself and doesn't give two shytes about the girl. He really doesn't care because he knows puss is a dime a dozen.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mike32ct again.Mike32ct said:dime a dozen.
It's not a stupid question, I still struggle with it @ 34 and have to remind myself to stop being a chump.SamTheHobit said:That makes sense. Sorry it was a stupid question.
