"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.

this is dedicated to all you guys who can't find a date to prom and are pissed off. this is my story and it might make you feel better. here they are, not in chronological order, but in order of how sh***y they made me feel.

4. girl laughed at me.

3. another girl said yes, but days later had to cancel caus she would be out of town that weekend.

2. i found out my girlfriend was a ***** and had 3 f*** buddies behind my back, which she admitted to my face.

and the #1 biggest disappointment is...

1. my good friend, who said yes, recently became very sick and is in the hospital (shes okay though, just won't be let out till 3 weeks after prom)

so you see guys, rejection is no big deal. at least you don't have a demon spirit who loves c***blocking
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I dont think a girl having three fb's is something she should be proud of. That hurts her more than you, shes probably to stupid to realize that though.

Sorry about your prom dude

If it's possible, get someone to practice with. Put on some nice, slow song and dance away.

Learn where to place your hands, how to move your feet, etc.

Practice a few times till you are comfortable.

My experience has been that most people are pretty decent when it comes to slow dancing (they just need to figure out where their hands go).

Good luck!
 

"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.

Wow. You've had a bad week/month.

Do you still plan to go to the prom?

You're a pretty cool guy for sharing your experience with others to give them some perspective...!

I like the attutide carrey. Try not to focus too much on the negatives atleast you got a few girls to say yes. Do not ask a girl-friend of yours, that's like the last stop when everything has failed. Keep hunting man, I believe in you and everybody else here does. Why do you think you are having trouble getting a prom date right now anyway.

"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.

everything will fine man. Dont settle for girlfriends if you dont want them. Just be happy and high spirit and have fun. having that attitude is bound to attract one interesting lady, if not, well your got one great person left to take who means the whole world, YOURSELF. remember your the prize anyone, who gets you is lucky, your one-of-a-kind. Now go out there and have fun.

Ey Carrey, I dont know how the whole Prom thing works at your school but when I went last year I ended up not having a date, long story, but it turned out ok because at the dance itself I was able to take other guy's dates and ended up having a great time .
