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.
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.
MAN ur over thinking this so much .. I wouldn't wait too call her that long. Just do it and set something up if she is still interested. Don't worry about being too eager. Worry about not being too clingy, get the date set up and be your best self when you go out with her. Don't do much of that textin back and forth bvll****, show her you are a busy man.Lostsoul85 said:

In my opinion, there is not a perfect time to contact a woman. If she is interested in you then regardless of what she is doing, when she has access to her phone she will reply to you and agree to a date. Woman are always busy but they will go out of their way and find time if they are interested in you. If the interest level is low then she might not reply or flake on you and I would brush it off and move on.Lostsoul85 said:
right, exactly why I said to set something up tomorrow afternoon, she'll probably be getting up around 1 or 2 and getting some coffee anyway.CaptainSaveAh0 said:
