"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.

I had this happen twice now within a year, almost same scenario, both very frustrating.
This is the recent one. The other girl previous to it was way more flirty, with skinship, but rest are about the same.

Met this girl for a drink and there was a solid connection. She seemed like a down to earth girl so i didnt try anything physical but at the end she did initiate hugging, and right after we parted she messeges me that she's had wonderful time, would love to get together again.
So the next day we text back and forth setting up the next date, and at the end after i ask if the next weekend is ok, there is no reply. Almost 24 hrs later still no reply. I know not to be clingly, could be other factors blah blah, but these days and age, especially for people my city? Its already abnormal to not check the phone every 30 freakin min.

So, is it

A) did she play me to see how willing i was to see her again?

B) did i make her back off because i was too aggressive with setting up the date?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Well, may guys here would tell you that you fvcked it up because:
1 You did not try to kiss her
2 You texted her too soon after the first date.

Well, this is probably true but I guess the real reason is that: SHE DID NOT REALLY LIKED YOU. Simple as that.

She hasn't replied to your text? fine, forget about her and if she has some interest she will text you, but do not text her again unless you want to look like a complete beta.

Did you read his second post in the thread? It read: "n/m.. she replied. its a go :)."

I can see how one would be of the opinion that he is coming off a little beta but since homegirl is going to meet up with him soon let's ease up for now because he's winning for the time being.

Sometimes they do take some time to reply for various reasons. Sending more messages will most definitely come off as desperate. There's only one correct course of action after sending a message.

This is very very simple and yet many guys fail at it. If there is no reply, then do nothing about it. Many guys send more messages, call or contact with other means, don't do it. I would say if there's been no reply within a week you can send one more message, but only after a week. If there's still no reply within a day, consider it dead. In the case she does contact after some time, then do not comment on the time and proceed as you normally would.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
