"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.

Well fellows, although I don't often come to you for advice, I've come to a decision that is simply too difficult for me to make alone.

You see, due to a mishap with my check card, I won't have access to my bank account until monday. In my pocket I have a $5 bill. I've been craving Burger King all day long, which although I know is not good for me, is extremely tasty. I haven't had fast food in over a month, so I figured I treat myself to a Whopper because those will always be my favorite. But, all of a sudden I realize that if I spend my last $5 on a meal, then I won't have any money to go out tonight and celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which is a big party night down here this close to Mexico. So, in short, I can't decide between having a tasy burger, or saving my money for going out tonight. The decision is riveting!

What would you do?
 

"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 just finished my whopper, and I must say I'm satisfied with my choice. Good idea, DJD, I'll use the old standby "Oops I left my wallet in my other pants. I'll pay you back" standby.

If I hadn't spent it, 5 bucks is plenty enough to get into a club with, and once in I'll just get a few chickadees to buy me some drinks and my night is made. Tonight it's cheap mexican beer and tequila at the local mexican food place, cover $5 (which I no longer have).
