"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.

Newbies apparently need a big sign pointing to The Bible so I made one

Sick of newbies asking the same old questions that have been answered in the bible? Tired of typing 'RTFB'? Me too.

So I knocked this up in Flash. The site is welcome to it if they want to cut down on the amount of samey old threads.

If not, no problem just playing around.
 

"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.

BUMP! And Great Work Man!

It's simple, and elegant. I could easily see this on the forum.


BTW: Have you e-mailed Allen, the site administrator? I'm sure he'd like it.

Looks great in Wyndows and Internet Exposer but don't forget about the rest of the world that uses Linux and Mozilla. It does not work there.
 

"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.

Docs:

I won't get into a Wyndows vs. Linux fight, but, uh, FF for Linux is not the same as FF for Wyndows.

Point is: Nighthawk did a great job, I salute him, but: Don't forget about some dude in San Salvadore that could not get the bootleg version of XP and is in the same boat as the rest of us: His **** is in a bind about some *****.

I know these dudes, dude. Get it? I'm there......Now....

I'm using Ubuntu Dapper (its a very popular Linux distribution) and it looks fine.

You just have to install the mozilla-flash plugin package or whatever its called in your systems repositories. It works after that.

Works in Opera, Konqueror, Firefox, Mozilla Suite.. everything.

Well Sh*t, Call_Me_Daddy: I'm not a total ******* (pretty close) so I do appreciate it. We are using fedora 5 and having probs. Ugg, hate command line sh*t. Don't like to be root all the time.

Ok, before this is moved to the nerd section I will say that, yes, many newbies totally rot our brains with the same questions over and over and if they just read half of the bible they could sarge and actually contribute rather than ask for "easy" solutions that they will never take.

Thanks for the positive response everyone.

Call_Me_Daddy, if people like it I'll send it to Allen. Anyone know the best email for him?

Grinder, I agree this site should be accessible to all, and if anyone else has any difficulty viewing Flash I'd like to hear.

Anyone else here use Flash or Dreamweaver? PM me and we can swap tips and stuff. Like in Dreamweaver, how do I get the above link to pop up as a neat little mini-page?

The Mods know what his e-mail is. Just ask.


And there should not be any problems viewing flash. Everyone has flash.
