"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.

With all of this talk about digital cameras and whatnot, I figured I would put a shameless plug for my camera which I just put up on eBay. It's a beauty - DiMage 7i. I'm getting rid of it because I just bought a Olympus E300 (the most bada*s DSLR, ever) this morning and need to make some of that money back!

If anyone is interested, it comes with a ton of stuff...

"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.

I've got so many actual photo shoots lined up for after I get my E300 that it isn't even funny. While they won't be "field report" type pictures, I'll post a few of the better ones up here anyway. Needless to say, I'm dipping into my cell phone list for numerous hotties... some which will leave you crying. ;)

Devote some $$ for a dedicated flash and a flash bracket.

And learn to shoot raw...

You know I would buy it, shame I already own one :D

Edit: Will you sell me the lenses?

Edit: What'd you rob a baseball team?
