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.
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.
Id love to see Celtics and Rockets in the finalsFalcon said:Celtics will be an interesting team to watch too this year![]()
Not going to happen. Rockets can make it to the finals but the Celts are over-rated. I doubt they will make it past the first round of the playoffs despite having 3 all stars.moto said:Id love to see Celtics and Rockets in the finals![]()
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.

The East is open because there is not one team that is alot better then the other and that includes Boston.moto said:Whaaaaaa?
are you serious? I mean after watching Lebron's Cavs make it to the finals to me it seems like any Eastern Conference team can make it. The East is open..
Wait until they play together for a month or two before you make that declaration. People tend to get very excited on the prospects without seeing results. Same thing happened last year when Iverson got traded to Denver and people were jumping up and down and saying "oh my gawed Iverson+Carmelo= Championship!!!" and guess what? they didn't get past the first round.moto said:They dont have depth but 3 allstar/superstars is enough to get them pass the first round.
