Afganistan was meaningless? I thought that went pretty well.
"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 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.

Right on bro. lol! I was thinking the exact same thing. I've heard of worse frat initiations. I tried repping you but I guess the forum has decided that I need to spread the love before I give you anymore. lol!bigjohnson said:Wearing underwear on your head while being mocked by female soldiers is nt torture. In fact some Japanese businessmen pay big bucks for that sort of thing. Back on topic ...

Yes, it went pretty well the first couple of months after we invaded. Kinda like after we occupied Iraq, "Mission Accomplished", remember? As far as the Afagan situation is concerned, we are getting our a$ses handed there too.bigjohnson said:Afganistan was meaningless? I thought that went pretty well.
The job wasn't and hasn't been finished. Things there are in dire straits also. Just because the big topic continues to be Iraq, doesn't mean that we should overlook the disaster that is Afganistan.
That is what is to be expected when you go into a "business" without a plan. Imagine walking into a bank and asking to borrow money, without a sound business plan. You and I would not be given a blank check from the lenders, the way our administration has been given. That is all I will say about this, since this forum is censored on this type of talk.

Ok, obviously you subscribe to the "Let's fight em there, so we don't have to fight 'em here" philosophy. Guy, there is a CIVIL WAR going on in Iraq and the neighboring countries? Have you not been notified? We invaded a foreign nation. There are riots, and bombings, and killings, and exectutions in Iraq. The civilians there would agree, they are living in not so good times.Deus ex Pianoforte said:What does the word "executed" have to do with the war? The OP jumped to conclusions and convicted the soldiers before we even have all the facts. Hardly "spin". And if this war was meaningless, there would be riots in the streets and most likely a WWIII.

Tillman wasn't killed in Iraq, haven't you paid attention? Or are you just warping this topic to suit yourself?Gangster Of Love said:Guy, there is a CIVIL WAR going on in Iraq and the neighboring countries? Have you not been notified?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.
