"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.

Any chess players here. What are some ways to improve my chess game besides playing.

Chess is the ultimate mind game. I feel that everyone here should be strong physically as well as mentally. I feel chess helps the mental aspect.

Chess lets talk about it. And if anyone would like to challenge me I will kick there A$$. LOL
 

"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.

Hmmm... was just about to go to bed.

Now...how to phrase this in the least geeky way possible...

I play chess.

I'd like to think I'm half decent.

If you're up for a game, I'll be more than happy to wipe you off the board.

edit: and if you want to learn how to play BETTER, send me a PM.

I gotta learn algaebraic notation if I want to get any better.

Not that I'm on this level, but Bobby Fischer said he got a lot better by playing blindfolded.
 

"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.

How high does one's rating have to be to make any money at chess?

~2100. The average adult is at 1200.

A 2100 Yahoo Chess rating doesn't count.
