"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.

. I’m a fairly healthy 28-year-old guy. 5’9, 190lbs. I went to the doc because my hips were killing me. I got the cool friggen laser x-ray tube thing done and it turns out that I have a disc that is pushing out against some nerve cords which causes my lower hips to ache when I sit.

So, I ask what I can do. The Doc says “Sorry. This just happened to hit you early. Some weight loss will help along with getting Cortisone shots in your spine *shiver*

So I get the shot. No more pain when I sit. But I have a real problem. I can’t run anymore. Doc says no more lifting, no running, no shocks to your spine, no stress. No more weight training. To make matters worse, no pool in town. CRAP!

Now, I’m carrying about 15lbs too much. I’d really like to loose it and I was working on that this summer. Now though, I’m worried about getting fat.

So, I’ve started doing extensive Tai Chi in the morning, around an hour a day. I’m sweaty and pleasantly shaky by the end of it. I’m also walking to work now instead of driving. I live in a town of 2,500 so it is no big deal.

My question is to you pro’s of working out, am I doing enough physical activity to start loosing weight?

My caloric intake averages around 3,000 calories a day.
 

"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'd like to do this weight loss correctly, but with these restrictions my doc has placed on me, I'm not sure how to go about it.

Monitor your weight loss with your current activity - if you're not losing weight, then add some more walking (i.e. in the evening, or in the morning before work), etc.

Watch what you eat; eat clean sources and don't mix too much fat and carbs.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
