"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.

fixing up last one

meant to say i know heaps of stuff i will never need to know
 

"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.

It seems when I have had little sleep the sparkle goes away, especiall little sleep combined with sugary foods. If I have had excellent sleep, eaten well, and kepy myself hydrated, my eyes twinkle. Also, I've noticed occasionally after partying and drinking my eyes look different in the morning, and I have a different expression on my face, to where I resemble an aggressive cop!

actually no information doesnt make stories (it is just information, experiences make stories :) not information) and i dont see how it could.

however women seem to like guys who are intelligent and not nerdy, (i am intelligent and the total opposite of a nerd) but thx anyway man, good luck with the ladies

eheh, matt, you know you sound like me, with what you define a bunch of useless stuff? that's exactly how my friends playfully refer to my knowledge:D
anyway, today at arts' history class, we were analyzing "la gioconda" by leonardo da vinci (hope you've heard of that, it's the painting of the monna lisa). i wasn't paying attention, until the teacher pointed out the fact that monna lisa has sparkling eyes with a twinkle inside! then, she said that that is because eyes are filled with water (i'm not talkin scientifically, since i want to make it easy and simple) and that led me to the conclusion that matt has already brought out: drink lots of water:D
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

yeah, lol

its the best way to go, also sugary foods and things like alcohol destroy the sparkle, for each glass of alcohol u drink u should drink 8 glasses of WATER, surprisingly u need at least 8 glasses of water compared to the following: 1 glass of Coke, 1 Mug of Coffee (apparently Coke is worse for u than Coffee) and sugary foods destroy the water and make u go onto a high and it destroys the water and turns it into wastes. I agree with your teacher and my other comment about the water. It is really important, and especially the wide eyes as well, with closed eyes u cant let the sparkle out coz the sparkle is most effective and more obvious when they are opened wide and with no bags underneath (in other words get HEAPS OF SLEEP)

any way hope u all get sparkling eyes and attract all those chicks
