"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

How Should You Smile? And How Can You Make Your Smile Better?

"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've FILLED my head with good thoughts. A nursery rhyme or some sunshiny tune I'll sing while I'm driving. Also, just generally being optimistic, opportunistic, and laughing full of love is the ONLY way to smile. Killer smile is the only way to smile. Just be a killer. Like, I guess, Russell Crowe in Gladiator when he talks about smiling at Death as Death smiles at us all.

Did you take a few hits of acid?

Some people don't smile much or just don't know how much teeth to show or if they should show teeth, etc.

A lot of times I don't show teeth, but they see me smilin on the inside. I'm always charismatic. I've been told that by married and unmarrieds alike. Married women tend to want to branch swing to me, I don't know why.

Are you the guy who played Kramer?
 

"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.

No. He's racist, and Jewish. I'm Irish and don't hate all people who aren't like me, even though I think my way is the only way to live.

If you're even THINKING about smiling, or making a conscious effort to smile, it never comes as genuine.

You should work on being happy, and let a real smile spring to life.

Gotta ask, what's with the attitude? The guy is replying to your thread question, and you insult him for it. "a few hits of acid". It looks like smiling isn't the main problem here.
