“So what about tonight? Can you meet up?” “That’s against the rules.” “What rule is that?” “You can’t date more than once in three days.” I feel Gabi’s eyes flick to me at the mention of my rules. “That’s a dumb rule.” “It keeps men interested.” My rules have been crafted from research, psychology journals, and studying what works and what gets a girl ghosted. They work. But they’re not for women to share with men, so I’m not sure why I keep revealing all of my rules to him. “You don’t need to do anything to keep me interested, sweetheart. You’re all I can think about.”
