"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.

What's the general consensus on movie dates?

I've noticed on a lot of other forums, everyone despises taking a girl to a movie unless already in a relationship. So far, the advice I've seen here far exceeds any other forum. I was wondering what you guys think of movie dates? Are they really such a cardinal sin?
 

"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.

Why sit awkwardly in the dark for 2 hours with someone you're trying to get to know? Because you can't think of anything better to do?

First date, no. She gotta feel attracted to you, and the odds of that happening at a dark theater r, well u know, u wouldn't swim against the current.

Consensus is, action dates make best first dates. Ice skating, dancing, anything with easy light touching.

Later dates after you two had sex, sure. Chill, relax, enjoy the movie.

Movie dates are the worst. People already have a hard time remembering who they even seen a particular movie with. How do you get to know someone when your not even paying attention to them.

May work for a third or fourth, but never a first.

for you question, people summed it really good !

or you are more intrested in the movie than her, or you are trying to pick her up but she's intresting in the movie, or you both intrested in the movie and dont give a fvck about the date ... not cool to creat attraction

Canada, eh?
Why not have a movie date at your place?! If I ever took a woman to an actual movie theater it would be fool around with her in the dark, in public......
