"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 read Pook's article about how gaining weight and adding size is beneficial.

I started working out last month and I used to weigh 103 pounds, now I weigh 106 pounds. Is 3 pound gain normal in 1 month? (I'm 16)

And I am only 5 foot 6 inches. A lot of people say being short is a huge disadvantage... I think I am relatively short for my age group and I heard most guys don't grow much after 16?

I am thinking even if I am extremly muscular, I still would not be considered "physically attractive" because I am short!

Pook weighs over 200lb and looks great because he is over 6 foot. It'd be weird if I weigh over 200lb with my height...

So what's the ideal weight for my height for someone looking to become ripped?

Any tips for me?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

3 pounds gain is small for one month. I can gain 3 pounds in a week. Even though you are short, you will continue to grow into your 20s, and if you are a late bloomer, this will definetly be the case. A guy your height should weigh about 150-170lbs. So get lifting. When you look jacked, this will make you seem taller and more physically imposing than you actually are.

You're 106lbs. There is no way you can get over 200lbs unless you take steroids or turn into a fat lard ass.

Stop stressing about it.

Eat more. You're 16 and still growing. All your energy is going to your metabolism to grow vertically.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Yeah, well since I am drinking 6 pints of milk a day, along with my a diet that means I eat alot, it's no surprise that some weeks I rocket up by 3 lbs or more. Most I have ever gone up in a week is 6lbs.

Ofcourse this has to be coupled with a good routine like stronglifts 5x5, otherwise it will just all be fat.

That's pretty absurdly skinny. I'm 5'7" and I weight 125 and people tell me that I'm a stick. I can't imagine weighing 103.
 

"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.
