"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.

Is confidence correlated with how we look? If you just woke up outta bed with bad breath, your is unkept, your clothes aren't ironed, do you still approach or is it the whole package of things? Such as I know I can get her number because my hair is cut, i have some fresh clothes on, and I'm a student in college. Do you still approach when you're not at your best?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

My grandma always said to look you best all the time as you never know who you might meet even if you are just popping around the corner to the local 24/7 store - and she was right..

She also said never go fishing off the company pier - she was right again !!

Looking good and confidence go hand in hand - make the effort

Good Question.

I believe the way I feel has a lot to do with how I come across to others. I feel better about my self after I have taken a shower put on some clothes that make me feel like myself and a dab of smell good. I worry less when I am comfortable with myself and my appearance.

If I take the time to look the way I want and I am happy with myself. Than I did all I could and if somebody doesn't like it, than they have the problem not me.

I wouldn’t lose my confidence if I wasn’t so fresh and so clean.

It would be like talking to somebody and wondering if your breath stinks. You would have it in the back of your mind along with wishing you had some gum.

It would be more of a distraction than anything else.

So in regards to me, and me only, yes confidence is correlated with how I look.

Your appearance and how you feel DEFINITELY affects your confidence. The more comfortable you are with yourself the more outgoing you're gonna be with other people.

Kinda similar when they say love yourself before loving other people.
