"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 thinking of going to Starbucks and/or a bookstore tomorrow evening. If you see any girls there, they obviously must be single. Do you think there will be women in these places on this special day? Never tried this before.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Tommorw evening( being valentines day) expect the book stores to be virtually empty and if they arent expect COUPLES their and dont bank on it being a special time for single ladies to be their, it will be just another "day" at the office at the book stores. Think of other ideas if you single, give some1 you have a crush on, or go see a movie with a girl "friend" of yours.

I would imagine it's the best day to pick up because the single girls will want more than ever to find somebody, especially on a day which is widely expected to be romantic and all.

Hmmm, i dont think girls get all uppity and desperate just because of some commercial holiday. If you're in a relationship, then it's a special day to commemorate, but if you're single, it's just like any other day.

I was thinking of going around on V day and just asking random girls "Do you have a valentine?"

But maybe that's too pathetic. Not sure if it would work.
 

"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 like a lead in similar I may try:

"Hello there..no valentine tonight?"

Should be a good opener for a bar/club/bookstore/coffee shop.

That sounds pretty good. Hell, maybe I'll use this tomorrow night on V-Day in the coffee shop?? Nothing to lose I guess.

V-Day is a great day to get drunk and make a fool of yourself in public. Upgrade!

That's what I'm thinking.

Fellas, Tomorrow let's all go out and do at least 5 approaches!

good idea. It's a good way to sniff out singles wihtout having to ask them.
 

"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.
