"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've just finished reading "The Selfish Gene", by Richard Dawkins. It totally blew my mind off! Amazing book and much more helpfull than any self-help / motivation book. Everybody in this forum should read this book.

I'm looking forward to read other books by Richard Dawkins.

BTW, wolf116 list is awesome! I love Bertrand Russel and Nietzsche too!

I've read almost all of the books "suggested" in this thread and they're all great reads. You'd be suprised how many people glos over important reads like that and don't take to heart the importance of understanding over effort. Still this book is fun and for the advanced minds. It's a modern day "Fistful of dollars" novel. It shows how beating the office and being your own man is a matter of grit and power as opposed to an individual strength that's fed to the masses today. It'll change your life, if you want to pay the price.
 

"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.

The Power Of Now

MUST READ.
Just started it today. Pretty intense, although I can't really get into the spirituality part, but I def am digging the zen message and the living in the present and separating myself from my thoughts concepts. It seems like some of what he says you should take with a grain of salt tho
