"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 how do you guys treat your fellow man? Your bros ( and if you have any girls that are JUST friends )? Im wondering because im trying to improve as a person overall, and that means i want to treat my friends better and keep them, because i know a lot of people, but i have very very few close friends. What are some characteristics that cannot be forgotten if you want to be a good friend?

"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.

Me and my friends eat at eachothers places every now and then. We cook for a group and then later play Risk! (the boardgame) or go to a bar. This is very good for the groupbonding. If you want to become a better friend then it's good to maybe do the same thing, but with one guy. People in groups are always different than 101.

It's also good to show that they can count on you when they're in trouble or feel bad. Ask personal questions, how they feel. When you know someone has a sick grandpa, ask them about it.

I would say the number one thing to be a good friend is Reliability. You have to be there and be aware. Sorry, cheesy. But seriously, you need to spend time with them and be a good friend. Know when to have fun, know when to make jokes, know when to listen to jokes, know when to lend an ear, and know when to tell them to man the **** up (or woman the **** up) and get over it.

You won't be perfect but if you make a good effort a good person will recognize it.

To me the most important thing in a friend is trust and honesty.
