"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 never really measured how tall I was and I thought I am 5'9. Whenever s1 asks how tall i m, I say 5'9. Apparently I am really 5'8 when I went to the doctor and also measured myself. Now I tell ppl that i m 5'8 and everyone says you are not 5'8. some say to me you are 5'8 and you are taller than me.

My hair makes me look tall. My hair goes up and sometimes when you measure me with my hair I look about 5'11 or more. If I wear shoes, I look 6 from the back but if you look at me you can tell its the hair. Have anyone ever mistaken you for your height b/c your hair makes you look tall? I am not talking about those kids with afros though. I also consider 5'8 to be short but I do not look short because of my hair. One gal I remember a while ago say wow your tall and I am a little under average height.

If ppl ask me should i just say 58 or say 5'9 because I look 59. yes i know this is a dumb and pointless question :p
 

"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.

You're 5"8. So you say 5"8. When people say you're not 5"8, you tell them exactly what you just told us.

Saying anything else is just confusing, pointless, and leads to ridiculous conversations.

I'm 6"0, so I say 6"0. Because i'm 6"0. It's pretty easy :p

regarding your statement about being a little under average: avg height in the US was 68 or 69in the last time i saw statistics, so you're right on the money.
