"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.

"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.

I wear Allen Edmonds dress shoes when I go out. They last WAY longer than sneakers, are more stylish, and they are cheaper in the long run, because when the soles wear out, I get them repaired. These shoes are classic and never go out of style, and I can focus my time on other things than looking for a new pair of shoes. That's my personal choice and opinion though.

I like those first shose though, because you can wear them with just about anything, and converses are pretty classic shoes as well, and they're leather. The only thing that sucks is that the leather will outlast the soles.

I chose #2, but all are good choices. Number 2 fits my style most. I don't personally like how I look in Chuck Taylor's but I like them for other people. Classic and add a certain style to whatever you wear.

Well I don't know about the adidas shoe, but generally converse shoes suck (for comfort). This is coming from someone who used to skate a lot, and who walks around a lot. If you do a lot of walking (aka NYC) you will start the feel the ground, your feet will hurt and it will seem like there is nothing in between your shoe and the ground.

If purely as a fashion thing I would get the navy blue shoes, they have a subtle awesomeness to them while the adidas and the vintage are kind of look at me-ish shoes to me.

Also notice that the only white sole sneaker is the 2nd navy one. The other two are offwhite colored sole sneakers. They look slightly different and it is infinitely harder to clean white soles, just a heads up if you get the navy sneakers.

Also very expensive taste in sneakers lol.

I like my biker boots personally. Leather lasts forever.

PS. Mods, would you consider creating a 'fashion tips' forum?
This is the 'Fashion Tips' forum. It's also the 'Bl0wjob' forum, the 'Suggestions & Feedback' forum, the 'Finance' forum, the 'Humor' forum, the 'Who Smokes Pot' forum, the 'Current Affairs' forum, the 'Getting Cvm Stains Off My Blanket' forum, the 'Favorite Book' forum, etc, etc etc.
 

"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.

Thanks Pdubb. Those were some very good choices too, which gave me more trouble deciding for the one pair. I've decided I'm going to go with choice #3. Thanks for your votes everyone
