How much is too much?
"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.
"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.

my parents think that if i can wear it, then it's good.
they don't understand style and fashion at all.
it's not we're poor, but my parents only think that girls are allowed to own more than 5 shirts.
i'm like, "mom, at least buy me enough clothes so that i can go a week wearing something different each day..."
and she's like "well you can just wash them before the other ones get dirty"
me: "-_-"
they think that any shirt over $10 is a waste.

I'm assuming you're asian by your name, and yea, i feel you.Crazy Asian said:my parents think that if i can wear it, then it's good.

Asian here as well, and its a absolute ***** to get them to buy me clothes. I have finally swapped my wardrobe out now so i'm ok with it. I'd like more but...eh, its good enough. I'll buy more when i have money of my own.
I think that with a lot of asian parents, just nag like a b**** and they'll give in a bit, if you know what i am saying.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Since I moved out on my own a little more than four years ago I greatly expanded my wardrobe. I have filled two full closets and have quite a few boxes of older, not worn clothes.
In my not so humble opinion... you can never have too many clothes.

alot is never enough in my book , I like to follow trends in fashion , and keep up with the times, what I do with my old clothes or things that are not in style, I donate to charity , ex salvation army or goodwill, or when I go to mexico on vacation , I give my stuff to my cousins who can't afford what I buy
