"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.

COVID-19 Quarantine Action Plan: How to Make The Most of 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.

No I am in my boxer shorts quarantining, meditating, playing online poker, and posting on sosuave. I am not sick enough to be in the hospital because my blood oxygen level is 98. you gotta be in the 80s. So it's just qurantining and spirituality/yoga/meditation 24/7. And 25 different vitamins and supplements.
98 is pretty good

I just want to show people there is nothing to be afraid of. Not even death. The moment is all you have. If you can truly be happy in this moment right here and now, you have groked existence. Being covid positive has forced me to let go of all past and future.

To me, there is no "recover" in the future. I'm okay now. I feel like my life is full now and it's all I could ever ask for.

A funny thing happens when you face mortality. All time stops. And you realize it is only the Eternal moment. Everything else is mind and thought. There is only present awareness right here right now. It is the only thing that is real.

The "I" that perceives. It existed long before you were given a birth name, And it will continue to exist even until the end of time. It always is and always will be. The universe arises and die and The "I" will still be here.

You are not your body. You are not your name. You are not your sex. You are not the image the world gave you. You are the ever mysterious presence awareness.

This presence awareness visits you at your final moments when you lose everything. When you are about to die, you realize the presence awareness was the only thing that was ever real.
You're young and healthy, bro. You'll be fine.

And take down your personal data. I was just fvcking with you. You seem like a good dude.
