"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.

Anyone been to Sao Paulo or Rio? I've been planning a trip once I get hold of some cash. Staying in youth hostels. Any tips?
 

"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.

Rio and Sao Paulo are not really Southern Brazil. The states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul are. Neither of those states get much tourist traffic. That is where the pretty girls come from. They do not come from places like Rio and Sao Paulo.

Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina are a world away from touristy Brazil. The area is very conservative, very white (German, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukraine, Italian), and relatively safe. A friend of mine is from the area and also raves about the surfing.

I think Blumenau has the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany (even though there is an Argentine town that claims the same). Blumenau is a Germanic town.

Other towns look just like what you will find in the old towns (tourist areas) of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine. Kinda odd to see such influences so far away. It is a very beautiful area. It is also the only area of Brazil that I would feel somewhat safe in. Sao Paulo and Rio are just too dangerous these days to relax in.

most of the hot chicks you will meet are hookers. Hot hookers, but still hookers. Poverty is high. Watch out for AIDS too. Alot of babes there dont even know they have it.

Just the word BRAZIL immediately gives me a stiffy. I can only IMAGINE how much fun that place would be with beautiful Brazilian women walking around in bikinis all the time and their tanned skin.
