"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.

Is natural gas toxic

My sense of smell is dampened ever since I got Covid last year. A couple nights ago, I noticed a funny smell (the same smell when you turn on your heater for the first time in the winter), and didn't think much of it since I was half asleep. Next day it was much more prominent, could almost taste it in my mouth. Noticed my oven gauge was turned just enough for the gas to get released. It was on for maybe 16 hrs in total. Ended up cracking open all my windows, fans on, blasted AC and left my shower running hot with the door open to try to move the air around as much as possible. I can still smell/taste it a bit now after an entire day.

I didn't have any symptoms, not even a headache, I was able to exercise just fine right after I left, but I'm a bit paranoid. Anyone know if natural gas/methane is an issue? I feel like if it displaced enough oxygen I would have noticed symptoms...

I guess I'm asking here since the damage is already done so I don't know why I'd bother talking to a doctor besides just reassurance.

"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.

If it was harmful you would have already suffered some conseguences.

The only risk is for your heart, given the current gas prices you risk a stroke once you get the monthly bill.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Natural gas doesn't have a smell. Methane (the main component of natural gas) seems to be a 2 out of 4 in toxicity (enough of it could cause incapacitation); of course, in terms of flammability, it's 4 out of 4. :rolleyes: (I'm using the NFPA 704 designation - i.e., the diamond with 3 numbers.)

The "smell" in natural gas is an intentional highly-offensive, odorant additive precisely so that humans notice any type of concentration, and thus are motivated to stop the leak (and/or determine when such a leak has been fixed) or at least leave the space.

Inhalation of methane can cause a respiratory condition called ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome. It means you cannot get enough o2 into your bloodstream in this case it’s usually peracute which means it’s sudden severe onset and can cause death, but also resolves very quickly in many cases.

I was more concerned about lack of oxygen to my brain. I'd literally rather die than have moderate/severe brain damage.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
