"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.

Everyone and their grandma have little sayings that they live by. There are so many of those old proverbs out there that a lot of them give the exact opposite advice. For example, one of my favorites is "The early bird gets the worm" and "Patience is a virtue". They are telling you to do two opposite things!

Here is another: the squeaky wheel gets the grease, or silence is golden.

Here's one that is probably the most appropriate for this forum: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you vs. Nice guys finish last.

Can you guys think of any others? If you can't, I'd like to hear which of these you feel is the best wisdom.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

2. it is what it is.
3. soap is cheap , everyone can afford to be clean.
4. a man might be the head of the family but the woman is the neck and the neck can turn the head any way she wants.
5. no use crying over spilt milk, get up and mop the floor!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

man with itchy butt soon have smelly finger

I've always thought that the expression 'all things in moderation' is self-contradictory. By its own rule, it should read, 'most things in moderation.'

Also, the cliche'd expression the Lord helps those who help themselves is not actually found anywhere in the Bible.
