"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.

To make a long story short, there's a contest that I need votes on. To enter, I had to write a humorous story about life in the retail world. The winner of this contest gets a paid ski trip, and runners up get free gear... so I'd prefer to not lose. However, there are other people who have entered, and since voting is open to anyone and everyone, I need more than just 20 friends to vote for me... which is why I am calling on the might of SoSuave. Only SoSuave members, with their clout and massive numbers can push through the envelope and inflate the vote.

If I win, so do you! I figure that if I win anything, it's due to having people here vote for me - so I'll give a portion of it back to people who helped. Here's how it will work.

1) Click the link at the end of this thread.
2) Vote for "Imaginary African Safari.... (8th from the top)
3. Go back to the survey again, this time voting for "Are you that guy? (19th from the top)
4. Post in this thread letting me know that you've voted for both stories.
5. Sit back and wait for me to win (or keep voting, as there is no limit on how many times a person/IP address can vote.

If and when I win, I'll give 10% of whatever the value of the prize is back to 1-3 people here who have helped out. If I win one of the ten $1,000 gear prizes, I'll be distributing $100 to 1-2 people here (via PayPal or money order). The winners here will be chosen at random from the responses in this thread. If I win the grand prize - the trip - then I'll be splitting the same portion of the value of that prize among 3 random people from this thread (as the value of that is well over $1000).

I'll keep updates on any contest activity I hear on this thread. Once I know something, you'll know something. Plus, you're getting a chance to help out a fellow SS'er on something that actually could be cool.


Here's the link!

*Deadline for voting is August 1, 2006

*If anyone knows of a program that can "auto vote", let me know. The only ones I can find are for "Big Brother" or "TRL". :rolleyes:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I have played my part in your diabolical scheme.

Now let me randomly 'win' the lottery part and I'll give you 20% right back.

Done!

Anything for money!

I'll have to read that later on and to actually know what I just did though. How will you know that we did vote for you? I suppose it's some ip mumbo jumbo?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I voted for both 5 times, but just for your knowledge they are not in the same locations every time. If you hit 'Refresh' they will randomly order themselves.

Yes money would be good right about now, just in case I lose that speeding ticket in court. :(
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
