"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.

Has some other guys AFC actions ever caused you a headache?

That is what I am dealing with at the moment. Some schmuck decided to take my teammate/coworker on a two week vacation to Hawaii.

They've been dating for FOUR months!

The kicker is that the guy is paying for the whole thing...

I'd like to kick this dudes ass just for being such a schmuck!

And yes, the actions of both of these clowns is a real inconvenience. I'm pretty much doing her job for the next two weeks. The good thing is that I am proving that I can do her stuff, as well as my own stuff.

Maybe they will let her go and I'll get her responsibilities and a raise.

Thoughs? Comments?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Sure. People are entitled to take time off and spend their money as they please. This sounds like a serious case of you being unable to just get the **** on with your work and keep your resentful snout out of your co-workers' private lives.

Why get outraged over such trivia?

Who cares what other people think? Isn't this the reason for this board? To examine the actions of others and to offer improvement to make ourselves better men?
I was using this post more as an example of what NOT to do.
Maybe I am crazy or something but I don't believe men should be flowering women with gifts, trips, etc, especially four months into a relationship. You are setting a precedent for bad future behavior.
Am I jealous? Maybe a little bit... Who wouldn't be? I'd definitely rather be in Hawaii than in Chicago in April. Am I pissed off that she left me in a lurch and I have to do her job on top of my job? Yeah!
Gentlemen, were not robots! We all have days where we're pissed. I was pissed, and had every right to be.
My post was to vent and to make an example. That's all!
 

"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.
