"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.

So I need a little help guys.

This guy on my team(sport setting) that talks not stop is trying to AMOG me. I think he might see me as a threat or something. He is semi socially aware except I don't think he knows how people view him.

He does the overly touchy feel thing and controls the topic of conversation though sheer volume.

How do I handle this? Anyone else been in a situation like this?
 

"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.

In other words, you want to show this guy who's boss. You want to take control of the situation and be the alpha male. You want to mark your territory and piss all over this guy. Sounds like you're the one who's bothered by it - not him.

*sigh* I know. The loud talkative types bug me excessively. It is painful to hear every bad situation he puts him self in and the justifications he makes why it's not his fault when **** goes sour.

It doesn't help that he is one step away from Jimmy the over touchy orderly.

Best not screw over the dynamics of the team and killing the fun by pissing over one guy as you put it. I don't find knocking people down pegs fun anyways :p
