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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
You from chicago? House Music was big hereI always enjoy listening to house music to relax, house music is now a world wide genre, however the original stuff comes out of Chicago, Illinois USA. If Chicago Dj’s or house music enthusiast don’t approve of house music produced elsewher, then it is not house music . Here is one of many mixes made in Chicago, also new wave and alternative music was a big movement that made groups like Depeche Mode, OMD, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys etc... very popular.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
I'm from chicago to, Spanish women love house, just start dancing and you should be fineThat’s right, I’ve been listening to house music since the early 80’s to this day, never gets old.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
Hell yeah. What’s your favorite song?Thanks to all the guys who are not lazy to post here. I appreciate it as I always am happy to widen my playlist, especially with these type of songs.
I could mention quite a few actually.Hell yeah. What’s your favorite song?
Sometimes I’ll listen to piano covers for songs that I already have just to see how it is. You get some pretty wacky things with the dubstep ones though, but they’re pretty cool too still. It makes it sound a lot ‘cleaner’, but maybe it’s just me.Piano music
