"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.

one of the important parts of charisma is making other people feel good aobut themselves in your presencse. This is done in a few easy steps.

always be positive and smile, but do not over do being positive, do not make somthing bad seem good, just only talk aobut the positive things, if you feel like crap today you do not need to tell everyone.

the second part is (with out sucking up to them) compliment peoples achivments sincerly.

i was playing on the computer with a freind, yes fifa 2004 again and he was not very good but every time he did somthing good i pointed it out said thats good or nice shot etc.. or if he played badly just said like "nice try" or "almost" and i have had people do this to me before, it makes you feel good about yourself.

So anytime people need reasuarnce or actully did somthing that deserves a "well done" dont be afraid to say it.
 

"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.

I find that throwing some sarcastic lines in between the "nice trys" works wonders for ones image. Stops you from being looked upon as the nice guy faggot all the time...

well you cant seem to much of a nice guy, i meant to mention but forgot to, that you should also tease them on it a little bit, say your playing football down the park with your mates and he misses a shot 1 on 1 with the keeper you can just thrown in a sarcastic comment, tease him a little on it.

but the first post i made, was not so much about teasing them, i was talking about making them feel good aobut themselves in your presence.

and you can complent a lot of people a lot and unless those comments are comming out of your a$$ left right and center, they will still have a good affect.

incase you think i mean complementing say, what they are wearing, i do not mean this, i only mean saying things such as "well done" or "nice try, almost did it"

I know what you're saying. However, i find it quite patronising when people say "nice try", "nearly". It's much better if you say : "i sucked at this game when i started, you get better at it".

Nice try.
 

"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.
