"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.

Wonderful post. Simple and straight to the point.

Oh man, i think the biggest pitfal is the realization that we have to sacrifice a lot of time/energy in order to get in the habit of doing something and sticking to it... this is where 98% of the people stop and go back. I myself WANT to get 4.0 but thinking about the sacrifices i will need to do (like going to the library every day to study) is scaring me... Who wants to be my study partner?!
 

"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.

After giving it more thought, im jumping on this and going to challenge myself. I am going to Make myself even more social and ask more girls out by the beginning of school year. I figured talking to 10 girls and asking out 2 girls a week is something doable, so ill start there.

Remember going through the DJ bootcamp? It was all about HABIT. The week where guys had to ask girls out is where 99% of the guys failed.. becuase they looked at short term (this girl) instead of long term (i need to ask 20 girls.)


As long as we are on the topic of good habits, lets come up with a list of habits that all of us should incorporate into our life.

Ill start:

Working out. Essential. Im going to say 3 times a week, but it is up to you as long as you are consistant.

Eating habbits. No pop, very little alcohol, no saturated fats if you can help it. EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Reading something about finances/investing/REI/news/money in general. By reading something useful EVERY DAY you will be smarter and more knowledgable.

Brushing your teeth and showering - ;) :) just kidding.


Add to this list, it is time to make ourselves successful!
