"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.

So I texted a girl im talking to, to ask if she wanted to come over to watch a movie i rented...her reply was "I'd be willing to go out to a movie if there's anything you wanna see"

what is she implying? any thoughts, i have a few but id like to hear what everyone else has to say about this.

ps. this would be our official 2nd date. but we've been talking quite a lot on the txts.
 

"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 think she is saying she would rather go to the movie theatre. Maybe, also hiting a movie she has been wanting to see? Maybe, the new sex and the city movie...

Now the question is why in the hell are you talking "quite a lot" on txt? Be a mystery; be busy attracting other women; etc. If you're not careful, this txt stuff could be your downfall. Call on the phone; set-up a date; get off the phone within 5 minutes; do your DJ gaming in person on the date! Trust me on this one.
Thanks Don I'll definitely have to start txting less...ill just tell her im running out of txts so then it will have to result in us actually hearing each others voice, besides hearing someones voice is much better than getting a stupid text IMO.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

you know, there is nothing wrong with texting at all! everyone text now adays, its a preferable thing to do. but only if you guys are having good converesations when you guys are seeing each other in person... if youre someone who she loves to talk to, then she may just think you're someone who hates the phone, and that's ok.

the point here is to make her FEEL that she isn't the only v@gina in the world without TELLING her

well you could do that and look like a total player to her, which sure some stupid @$$ girls like or just do what some of the others were saying and keep it "mystery style" which makes you look like you are just really busy and other things are going on other than her...you know just keeping conversations light on the phone until you are with her in person, which does the same thing without making you look like a player.
