Just post what kind of severe weather you have in your state. And you can say what you deal with on a day to day basis.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
What happened with that storm that was over there. Did it hit LA?Marvin Gaye said:CALIFORNIA BABY !!!!
It get's severely cloudy sometimes. HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're you there for the blizzard of 96?Mike32ct said:We don't have much severe weather in Connecticut.
Blizzards happen sometimes during the winter.
Hurricanes or tropical storms maybe every 5 or 10+ years.
That's about it.
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.

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.
That was bad.Mike32ct said:Yes.
I love Florida just to visit.:cheer:Deep Dish said:I live in Florida, the lightning capitol of the states. And I live in the lightning alley of Florida. The narrow corridor between Tampa and Titusville has thunderstorms 100 days out of the year.
And then, of course, there was the year with six hurricanes, with four in five weeks. Hurricanes always ruin your weekend plans, never your work schedule.
or last year when we had that ice storm .... that thing sucked. Not to mention all these tornado warnings recently.Mike32ct said:We don't have much severe weather in Connecticut.

LOL not sure if srsBible_Belt said:This year we had the worst drought in at least 55 years. Last year we had a 100-year flood and killer tornadoes.
The arctic icecap is almost entirely gone in summer now. The drastic weather is only going to get worse.

What?:woo:Deep Dish said:The only remaining vestige of legitimate scientific disagreement about if global warming/climate change is anthropogenic, above and beyond the natural cycles, concerns clouds. If carbon emissions by humans heat up the atmosphere, the dissenting argument follows, then there should be more clouds, cooling the earth back down. If this clouds argument is falsified then we are all fücked.
The cities that have it worse are Miami and New Orleans:box:OzyBoy said:Maybe a bad thunderstorm and lots of rain. I have experienced a hail storm before where it looked like it had been snowing in the middle of summer.![]()
