"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hurrican Rita, a Catagory 5 hurricane appears to be heading right for me in Corpus Christi(According to the Weatherman) We have a mandatory evacuation for this county. Anyone else close to the gulf??
 

"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.

It's not going to hit you... just wait and see, it'll turn a bit to the northeast and come right back at us here in Louisiana...

"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.

I'm leaving in about 4 hours. Usually I stay and stick them out, but this time it is just too crazy. I live on Galveston and the sea wall is only 14 feet high. The waves are supposed to be around 50 feet even before the hurricane hits. I hope I have a home when I come back.

My best thoughts go out to you people near the hurricane, and hopefully you stay safe and no harm comes your way.

This will probably send gasprices through the roof. We really are living in the end times it seems.

I'm curious, If your homes are destroyed, do you get insurance for you home and items in the home from a natural disaster?

The people who had gone through huricane Andrew still haven't receive full gov't compensation for flood damage. I saw news report which indicated that FEMA only paid 50% of damages. The owners are up the creek right now.

I hope you guys the best who lives in the Gulf near Hurricane Rita. And I wish you the best of luck. If I did have my own place I would let you chill here until that hurricane was gone. GOOD LUCK :(
