"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.

There have been some cases where @deesade has posted some nice songs from The Smiths, I am curious to know what kinda music you guys listen to, hopefully I can discover and add some good quality on my playlist :)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

I 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 from chicago? House Music was big here

Jack Johnson for laid back peace out surfer music. If you like UK sounds you could try trip hop. Portishead, Massive Attack and Morcheeba are three of the greats. They w made electronic music which just sounds like music. From Australia Angus and Julia Stone are cruisy. We also have a ton of electronic acts like Flight Facilities Tame Impala cut copy, and flume.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

you guys should try some Aussie hip hop. It's actually got a sense of humour and they don't talk about their d1cks all the time.




I'm having a rare mental health day because my new jobs p1ssed me off so much so I might just raise a finger to the man and play this loud.

I like to put this on when I'm lying in bed thinking about life right before I go to sleep. Just gets me in the chilled mood I need to nod off.


Hahaha okay silliness aside, Buckethead has some relaxing songs.

Also Portishead for "Roads" and "Glory Box", both of which are chilled and the latter is also kinda sexy.



Not sure why every artist that produces chilled songs has "head" in the title. I guess head just has relaxing connotations... *cough*

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

This one is calming for me. It’s repetitive but I still like it:

This is also a good one I found recently too:

There’s an artist out there called Blackmill. His older songs are actually pretty soothing too. I listen mostly to EDM so there’s not really much lyrics. Just the music. There’s this one YouTube channel called MrSuicideSheep who uploads a bunch of music that is predominantly calmer type stuff now. He has another channel called SuicideSheeep (yes, with 3 e’s) for whatever reason and is pretty much the same thing except without copyright I’m pretty sure, meaning it’s free.

This one is a really calming one I haven’t listened to in a while:

There’s definitely some others I can think of but SS won’t let me post more than 3 videos. Here’s a list:

YME - Rmx of a Rmx
Tarro - Waveboard
Anything by the artist Oh Wonder, EDEN, or MitiS
Jetta - I’d Love to Change the World (Matstubs Remix). The original for this one is bleh. The Remix is pretty good imo. One in particular that I like from here guys is
Warsongs: The Boy Who Shattered Time (MitiS Remix)
The Glitch Mob has some that could be considered as calming depending on the person.
Feint - Lift (I was addicted to this one for a few months personally)
Draper - Pressure ft. Laura Brehm
SizzleBird - Elixir
Revive Us - Campfire Anthem
Tom Day - Who We Want To Be (anything by Tom Day really)
Wiz Khalifa - The Plan

The last one is rap so it’s a bit different but it’s a calming one for me because he is talking in a reflective way. He talks about money and all that like most rappers, but it’s just a representation of him saying how he never expected to get so famous.

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 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.

Hell yeah. What’s your favorite song?
I could mention quite a few actually.

Pink Floyd (practically all their songs) but specifically the album "Animals", Keep talking, Sorrow + a lot more from them

The Doors - everything (my favourite band ever, I have 2 of Jim's 3 poetry books, love him, my arm tattoo is the LizardKing, he was the LizardKing) :)

Rainbow, specifically Rainbow eyes + Catch the rainbow + a lot more, just got to love Dio

AC/DC, everything (watched them live in Spielberg, Austria in 2015, one of the best times of my life)

Piano music, Ludovico Einaudi (Divenire, Una mattina, Nuvole bianche) + Yann Tiersen - Naval + other songs

Classical music, Schopin, Beethoven, Shostakovich, etc

Dire Straits are legends, absolutely everything from them.

Black Sabbath, the calm songs like Planet Caravan and Loner

Elvis Presley, the calm songs

Piano music
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.
