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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
At least when i make an attempt to flame i can spell it correctly; it is pretentious.OTB said:Tekniq, let's try not to be as much of a pretenious douche as you are in real life! (no offense of course)![]()
You should definitely tell your neighbours about it, those are the crowds that tend to call the police on parties.nikko49 said:hehe. very nice.
the party's gonna be on october 4. should i tell my neighbors that i am having one, so they can prepare for the noise? my 'hood' is upper-middle class and split between elderly people and families with kids.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Yeah, serve alcohol next time. Buy a keg and spread the word that you're gonna have a keg. You'll have all kinds of people at your party.nikko49 said:Any tips for getting more people/making more people come?
Lmao, that reminds me of something that happened to me a few weeks ago.OTB said:Fuking pigs! -----> As if they have nothing else better to do than stop a bunch of kids from having a good time! :box:
Yep, the evils of alcohol are without any doubt, the greatest threat facing Americas youth today *sigh*![]()
As was actually relaxing at Brighton Beach several weeks ago and lo & behold what do I see?
Two teenage kids (about 15 or 16) get handcuffed for doing the malicious deed of drinking a bottle of beer outside -----> not to mention there were dirty street vendors basically harassing ever single person they could lay their eyes upon into buying it
(and who would expect 2 16 year old boys from turning that gracious offer down?)
But that's still not the best part! ------> Whithin a matter of about 40 minutes / an hour, there were about 3 - 4 police SUVs and even a small mobile command center encircling them!I kid you not!
This is probably the exact reason why all the murders and other dangerous criminals are running around the street while all the public enemies composed of minors drinking alcohol are firmliy under control..... Sad but true...![]()
All I can say right now is:
EPIC FAIL
(At least that's my experience with the NYPD outside of Manhattan) :trouble:
