"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 you think you are beaten........YOU ARE!

If you think you can’t do something, YOU CAN’T!

If you want to win, but think you can’t, then you WON’T!

It’s all a state of mind. What are you going to believe?

If you think you’ll lose......YOU’RE LOST!

Success begins with a person’s will.

It’s all a state of mind. What are you going to believe?

So who are you going to believe?

Those OLD beliefs and thoughts that are easy to find?

Or can you decide to be more rational and realistic?

It’s all a state of mind. What are you going to believe?

If you think you’re outclassed...YOU ARE!

You’ve got to think clear to rise,

you’ve got to be sure of yourself,

before you can win the prize. What are you going to believe?

Life’s battles don’t always go

to the stronger woman or man,

but sooner or later the one who wins –

is the person who THINKS they can. What are you going to believe?

If you think you can make it......YOU WILL!

If you think you can do it......YOU CAN!

If you think more rationally and turn your thoughts around,

There is nobody, anywhere, that can ever pull you down.
 

"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.

yes but you have to keep your state of mind with in reason and not get ahead of yourself

like thinking something simple like "Im going to pass this maths test and get 90%"

just because you keep telling your mind that doesnt mean its going to become true

once your in that state of mind you have to keep working

"im gonna nail that hb"

just telling your mind that isnt enough, you have to act and do something about it

welcome to my world
to the original poster...good post, but since you're new here...

...let me just say, give credit to the one who wrote that. you did not write that, 6 years ago I had a little laminated card in my wallet with that script written on it. i pretty much have it memorized. so, what i'm saying is, don't rip off other people's stuff without giving credit where it's due.

it was originally written by Golfer Arnold Palmer, see here: http://www.inhis.com/stories/Story.asp?id=10

though you changed/added to it a bit, here is the original for anyone interested:
Golfer Arnold Palmer:
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but think you can't,
It's almost certain that you won't.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger woman or man,
But sooner or later, those who win
Are those who think they can.

this is universal
 

"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.
