"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.

In highschool, even while I was still an AFC in learning, I remember giving a handshake to one of the natural chads. He corrected me by saying "if you're gonna shake my hand, do it properly and make sure the thumbs latch onto eachother."

But nowadays, dudes give each other fist bumps. The way I see it, fist bumps are given by bosses and owners to their lowly employees. I can understand being at a gathering and then having to leave right away and giving quick fist bumps to your homies before heading out, but...fist bumps during greetings just irks me.

Proper hand shake at minimum to the men you respect. When I'm seeing my boys, it's ALWAYS a handshake followed by the millennial bro hug.
 

"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.
