"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.

I know what you mean. Perhaps I am more traditional in some ways. What about when you're not the bad boy/jerk, and you're not the nice guy. you're at this middle ground? thats how I feel.Also, I have been thinking, perhaps its not me as much as i think it is. just the culture, the hook up culture as you call it. I mean, this site has opened my eyes to alot, I am wondering,without turning it into a blame game, if the way or ways i was raised affected me. I do have this idea of an ideal, i said ideal, not perfect, wife. But I realize, I would have to hold myself to certain standards. I mean sure, I have had some **** ups, some really bad ones, somethings i regret, in that there were times when i was just mean to people. esp when i was younger. But I never bought into that find an excuse not to grow up thing. As for dry spells, is 2 years considered a long dry spell?
 

"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.
