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.

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.
Then keep positng and everyone will forget and think "wait yeah this is a guy".Burrito Supreme said:I would normally be insulted that people assume that I am a woman, but coming from some of the people here, it doesn't bother me.
If any of you remember, I made a thread over the weekend, which was locked for some unknown reason, in which I clearly stated that I have a GF.
Hi Kamille. Care for a burrito supreme?Kamille said:N, I would post here, but I am worried the reception wouldn't be so warm.
It depends. Does it come with mistletoe?Burrito Supreme said:Hi Kamille. Care for a burrito supreme?
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.

I am thinking you're an LS SS crossbreed, but I still haven't figured out who you are.

Eric! Bet you don't know who I am! hee hee
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.

Female, man. And they send nudes if you PM them.Cr1msonKing said:Well I am impressed with how the LoveShack bombarding went.
I saw the thread when it first started by magma, and how a few members were really optimistic about it, and I started thinking about devoting some of my time to "bomb" LS. But I read a few more pessimistic posters, and they dissuaded me not to "waste" my time.
Its good that a few loveshack members are joining the community. But the question I have is, are they mostly male/female members?

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
scratch is a keeper. If you are a man, I am "turned on", lol. If you are a chick, I still think you are hot.scratch said:I read those posts. I've said in no less than two other posts that this forum is better moderated than loveshack. I've gone on to elaborate that the area where this forum is no better, and perhaps even worse, is the extent to which there isn't an opposing viewpoint regarding gender superiority.
Edit: Let me elaborate. The men there can be braying asses, but on occasion they can also introduce an opposing viewpoint. Read my posts, if you wish. Here, however, there just isn't an opposing viewpoint. When I questioned you, didn't someone post "uh-oh, now he's gonna get it?"
You don't really feel that my posts here are primarily designed as ad homenim attacks or deflections, do you? In fact, by accusing me of poisoning the well instead of providing counterarguments addressing my points, are you not engaging in the very tactic of which you accuse me?

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.
