"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.

anyone know any good opens for a gym setting? A lot of cute girls go work out, yet I don't know any good opens for this situation. I go twice a week and there's no doubt that I'll see someone I like. Generally I don't have a problem walking up and saying something, but if they're in the middle of running on the tredmill or situps I don't like to disrupt them. I was thinking maybe when they are stretching?

Have any experiences that you can share or any good opener?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I find it really easy to pull girls into a casual conversation I'm having with my workout buddy. Usually, just asking a sideways question in a friendly way to a girl that happens to be working out near you works fine. The girls that have headphones on are rather fun to open up.

There's a PU101 routine that involves just mouthing words at a girl, pointing to your own ear until she takes the headphones out. You then ask her, "Do those work?"...."I mean, do those headphones really keep people from talking to you?" A nice joking manner helps a lot. You can segway into talking about how you were looking for an mp3 player because people kept bothering you while you were working out. If you still have a girl hooked after that, it's just a matter of smooth talking.

Oh! cool open :D I'll give it a try. Normally girls do have headphones. What happens though if they have none?

And sometimes when im running, there are other tredmills open all around but they pick the one next to me, would this be an IOI? what would be a cleaver open? obviously im running and cannot say much x_x

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

some girls with headphones do want to get approached, it is not an absolute rule.

if they were open to meeting guys I don't think they would wear the headphones, sounds like a clear no-no

anyway, don't your gyms play music anyway?? why would a girl need headphones?
same reason why everyone else has headphones on...they want to hear their own music and they want it louder so they can get in the zone.

Yes but funny how most girls wear them a lot of the time whereas the guys don't? That's a major clue right there lol.
