"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.

Ok. This is pretty cut and dry, guys. I was chatting with a girl via email and she asked me what I was going to get her for her birthday. Of course, I don't want to tell her what I'm getting her. I'll be honest-I'm not in a very witty mood right now. I need a sarcastic funny retort that will give her a little laugh but won't give away what I got her.

I've thought of these so far, but they arn't exactly funny.:

Nothing.
A wink and a smile. :)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Are you in a relationship with this girl? If not, tell her nothing and get her nothing.

Ditto.
 

"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.

and if u in a relationship think about things she likes or likes to do, not just buy her some jewelry just cause. Like if she likes a certain food or restaurant or, she likes backrubs give her one, she like the park set up lunch there, she got a fav movie how it on dvd at yo place have some strawberries and cream then visit the bedroom for dessert ;) That way u aint spending much and the gift means something other than look at how much i spent on you.After her birthday dont do that again, have that be a real rare treat somethin to remember, u do it alot and its not special and just gets boring

if not in relationship then nothing, i also like the autographed pic of yourself idea thats some funny stuff

XD I was about to post that idea.I'm an artist too so I drew her a flawless picture of her favorate actress, and I'm going to give her an autographed pic of me. But the point is- What do I tell her I'm getting her?

Tell her its a surprise duh lol no need to make up something to tell her just say its a surprise.

Yeah thats another idea if u have a talent like that being an artist doing something like that is cool, plus it shows her how good u are. Now me im a chef so Id cook for her, cause I love it and im good at it

*edit woo 500th post only took me about a year and a half
