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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I heard that one of the reasons the new movie is rated PG-13 is due to the amount of adult men who will be there seeing the movie by themselves...

I'm 39 years old and find it very difficult to sit through most movies without getting bored. I have never had that with any of the Harry Potter movies. I own the first three and will own all of them. No, Harry Potter isn't just for kids. The books are good and so are the movies. JK Rowlings isn't a particularly great writer, but she's a phenomenal story teller. The movies do a very good job portraying the imagery you get from the book.Originally posted by diplomatic_lies
Isnt Harry Potter for kids?
Also does he ever get laid with that other wizard chick? (the nerd looking one with brown hair and suff)
Well yeah the girl is slowly turning into a woman, the pervs are increasing!Originally posted by diablo

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.
I think the issue with this HP movie is that the book was SO long and had so much in it that they had too much to condense for a movie. I think if they had of split the book in two and make two movies from that one it would have turned out better.Originally posted by diablo
I actually went to see it for the midnight showing with my g/f and one of her female friends... I had work at 8am the next morning (today), and thought it would only take an hour and a half - like most movies. I was wrong. At around 1:30 I was like "nothing has even HAPPENED yet"... then by 3am it was over. A 3 hour movie.
Admittedly, it wasn't bad, and the special effects at times were slick, but even though I haven't read the books (I've seen the other 3 movies either on the big screen or DVD) I have to say that the movie itself wasn't that great. On a high school grading scale I'd give it a B-.
Oh yeah, I really did expect that ghost chick to go down on Harry Potter in the sauna... after all, she was diving around everywhere else...
