"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.

apart from all the reasons why you can do better

i don't think this will work as a long term relationship

you are 21. she is older.

i doubt she would want the social stigma ( her family too ) of marrying a younger man in Australia.

how old is she ?

"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.

Oh, and I strongly agree with this. But then again, my uncle married my aunt who already had a child. They have been happily married for the past 30 years.........

Its all just a gamble really. Do what you want and do it with conviction.

Lost In Translation is sooo right on this:cool:
She has got to be in her late 20s if he won't divulge her age :crackup:

You are 21, you are still a kid. You want to have fun in life, live it to the fullest, no more responsibilities then you have to have. She is in a totaly different situation, she is older and she has a kid of her own who she has to provide for, fun and games are over for her. Oh she might be playing with you but it's nothing but a big bait & trap game :D

One advice to you: run! You are too young to become a dad.

you wonder does this mean she is wanting more ?

NO. she is just talking $hit on the phone to her friend.

women talk $hit on the phone to their friends. ALOT of $hit on the phones to their friends.
This **** had me "rofl". I couldn't describe it better. Btw, the other day I read on a medicine forum, that when women talk to men about their problems, they do NOT even want men to solve their problems, they just want to TALK about them. Or well in other words: women talk $hit. LOL

it seems like she just wants to meet your friends and see if they recognise her as your girl.

so invite her over, play some cards, whatever, and that should do fine.

things will progress in the next month and you will know for sure if you want to make things official.
** usually you can date someone and give them a good old 90 day probation and see if you want to pursue a ltr / continue casual dating / next them/ etc.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Been alittle busy lately..

Firstly I'm 23 and she's 25 so the age difference isn't that great..

2nd, I think I've come to realise and figure out my own needs here which has seen me lay off, which has also seen her doing all the contacting but ever who said it is right.. The fun and games are over with this one.. Even once we do get time alone, she's spent the entire day being a mum and being burnt out which leaves little room for us to be spontaneous.

Thanks for all the opinions guys.. Glad I'm now over and at where I should have been a little earlier. Guess thats what this place is all about.. Helping each other stay on track. Cheers!
