"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.

In High School it's pretty easy to settle in the whole clique thing. It's even easier to only talk to the "hot" chicks. I can imagine that out of your entire high school, you only know a very small percentage of people. Most of it is due to laziness. We feel we have "plenty" of friends, so meeting new ones is a waste of time. We come up with a number of excuses.

So i challenge you to all go out and make a few new friends. Talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to. Sit at a different lunch table. Don't limit yourself to the blazing hot chicks either. Talk to everyone!!!

How about the people you already know? Talk to them more. Learn something you didn't know before. Find out where they were born, what they love, who they love, etc. Don't limit yourself to the usual and incredibly immature high school gossip that plagues lunch tables.

So that's my challenge to you, not only learn more about your friends, but make new friends. Never stop meeting people and never limit yourself. Hope some of you out there know what i'm talking about :D
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Making new friends is a very good thing. I would recommend highly to those who need help with women to make friends with guys who have dated a hot chick before... Because it probaly means the guy is experienced and you might learn alot from him... Also, he can be a useful wingman ... Not the one who will follow you around though, of course.
Making friends who are girls is also good... Becoming very good friends with girls is VERY good... They are useful for finding out things where guys aren't allowed especially in the gyms.

Great post. I think when we all starting becoming more social, we only saw it as a means to an end ("I'll put in this work talking to people so that I can get the reward of hot chicks"). It was just a means to an end.

Now, of course, we know talking and having fun is something we love to do for its own sake. Making new friends is always great, even if they are UGs or arthritic old men.
