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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Epic post. Anyway, go out with them, depends on how many you have asking you out. Pick only the top plates.Telos said:Man. Oh man. I've only ever seen this once before.
I want you to read this message carefully and hastily as they could be watching you, and your life very well may be in danger.
You have encountered what is considered to be the most debilitating, treacherous, and deadly sh*t test that a female operative could ever possibly invoke. The only time I've ever personally encountered something as deadly as this was while I was undercover in Tel Aviv. For your sake, I cannot stress how important it is that you pass this with flying colors. To all of the others reading this transmission, be very glad you are not treading such deadly waters as this forsaken chap here.
I must be brief as this line is not safe. By even communicating to you I am compromising my own safety and possibly the safety of countless other operatives. The most important advice I can give you is to stay in control and remain collected. Stay ever vigilant. Trust absolutely nobody. At the first sign of peril, I suggest you dive out the nearest window and take cover immediately; for your life may be in danger.
If you need more information, a dark-haired middle European woman wearing a black armband will meet you at the bus stop nearest your current location. She will respond ONLY to the code word "I am an a hopeless AFC."
Remember: Never look back. They are watching your every move.
This message will self destruct in 20 seconds.

Alright, I thought it was just me wondering this. I guess the next question would be whether or not he should... eh.... why bother....n00bPimp said:WHAT?
Is my brain fooling me or is this really your question?

Look. SoSuave isn't here to take you by the hand through the roller-coaster that is/will be your love life. It's here to give you tips, hints, help you unplug, but it wont hold your hand. You've got to bloody well do things for yourself. Use your own head. Common sense. Your gut feeling. Just feckin' go out with her!Eugene123 said:Hey guys, recently have had some girls ask me out... Is this some kinda test or something? Should I go with it? Or not?
Thanks

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.
