"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 just saw "Stalingrad" at our college movie hall today. Damn, its a hell of a movie!

Its about a bunch of German soldiers stuck in the city of Stalingrad. The plot is kind of crap, but the individual scenes are really good. Although I reckon they went a bit overboard with the 'evil nazi officer' (I'd swear he was Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes)

But yeah...the whole film is really depressing. Not like Hollywood war films where 1 US soldier machineguns a billion German soldiers while holding a hot girl in his arms. The worst part is, you KNOW they're all gonna die, cuz only 0.5% German soldiers at Stalingrad went home alive.

Found a review:

"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.

Great movie indeed!

It shows the human side of the German soldiers, in contrast with Hollywood movies that all make the "ordinary" German soldier look like a bunch of crazy/evil Nazis that only want to kill jews...

Another similar movie, maybe even better, is Der Untergang, it also gives an objective view on what happened!

Watch it, you will like it if you liked Stalingrad!
