What are your questions?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
"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.

She already reached out. Did she call your extension or your personal phone?

So when you asked her out the first and second time. Did you call your extension or personal phone?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You are still not answering my questions. There are question marks at the end of each question.

I don't like it that she didn't call your personal number to tell you her number didn't change.
"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.

Why you think she might have deleted my number which is why she called me at my ext?

Well. All I can tell you is she wants you to call her to her personal number. Why doesn't she call you to your personal number. Sound like a validation. Why not ask you out. She knows you won't rape or eat her. I think she wants you to make a move, but you don't tell me her schedule... You seen her Facebook profile? Google her name? What about linkedin?
I believe the website "mylife" can tell you about her.
"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 cant find her facebook so basically if she just called my ext to tell me to call her phone then it might just be validation n nothing else. She dont have a LinkedIn

We have the same work schedule 7 on 7 off
Omg. 95 replies. Why is this even a discussion. Flake outs do not get a second chance. If she WAS INTERESTED then there would be no flake out. Only exception is if she gives a hard date and time as alternative.

Do not call her. It seems to be premeditated. She didn't call your personal number because she knows you can dodge the call. However, you had no clue what she was going to talk about when she called your ext.
So she wanted you to receive the message. She was making sure.You still validated her no matter what.
If she really is wanting you, she should ask you out or hint for. I would take her to the movie theater and make out there after she hints.
If she tries to take you home to be her handy man, DON'T TRY TO FVCK her, unless she comes out naked of the restroom or grabs your hand and takes you to bed.
Be in control and only kiss her if she lets you, but no fvcking or try to unvolutarity undress her.

Now that makes a lot of sense I didnt even think about it like that. The fact that she could've called me on my personal phone but chose to call my ext cause I have to answer my office phone no matter what and she knew that. Right now we on our days off and dont go back to work until monday
"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.
