"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.

Billy Mays Dead

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

What's interesting about his death was this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mays

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife in his Tampa, Florida home on the morning of June 28, 2009. He was then pronounced dead at 7:45 am, appearing to have died sometime overnight.[1][2][4] The Associated Press reported that there were no indications that the house had been broken into, and that police did not suspect foul play.[4]

Mays had been aboard US Airways Flight 1241 from Philadelphia to Tampa that blew out its front tires as it landed at Tampa International Airport on June 27, the day before his death. None of the 138 passengers and five crew members were reported to be seriously injured immediately following the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises from falling objects.[2] Mays told a local Tampa television station that some of the objects "hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."[4] It is unclear whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

It's going to be weird not waking up to my TV yelling at me.

Wow... everyone's dropping like flies! Maybe there is something to the "three's" superstition.

I can't say I was a fan, or even liked the guy at all, but my condolences to his family and fans.

Wasn't he about to start a new show or something? Crazy. :(
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Billy Mays was like the real life Funky Flashman. He had the look, he had the voice, he had the salespictch. I would've loved to see him voice the character in the DC Animated Universe. Or play him in a Mr. Miracle Movie. :D

Very talented marketing guy.

I love the Pitchmen show. Even considered starting a company doing something similar since I have background in marketing, branding, infomercials, t.v., product development, etc. Basically I got everything but the voice and I can hire someone for that.
