"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.

If the current mods were to leave SS and never post on another site again who would you want to be the new mods of SS? If anyone? And would you continue to stay here?
 

"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.

I'm not sure why I would care who the moderators are, unless they are acting in a nazi-type manner. Thankfully, I think the moderators here all do a nice job and have an appropriately light touch. I like several of the mods here, but I like them as posters, not because of their moderating.

Hahaha nice.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

All the mods here have multiple felonies, can't find their a$$ with both hands, a searchlight and GPS.

I like these guys.

I'd be a mod if I could.

There's other people who give great advice on here as much as I do.

I was a mod on Senor Fingers' spin-off forum, which was fun while it lasted...the forum more so than the mod part. I never realized how much people complain behind each other's back until I was on the list to get the "report this post" emails.

Those are actual requirements...That, and you have to have killed someone.

Wait, we still talking about being a mod here, or being in the Hell's Angels?

It's more fun here...True story. Cleared my mailbox out, went to sleep, woke up the next morning..."You have 78 new messages!" F!ck

Moderators are fine now, mostly cause they do pretty much nothing more than other users.

The last thing we need is some nazi censoring opinions just because someone is disturbed from them, you what you usually happens on normal forums if you only hint that women are not angels and the welfare state is not a blessing.
