"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.

About Pook, let me tell you this. There is a lot to take from Pook's posts, but if you're like me, you won't really understand them until you've been around for a long time. I read all of his popular posts when they were first big, but after going back over some of the classics on the board I started to pick things up that I hadn't thought about before, and they were often the main ideas.

There is a lot of knowledge on the board other than Pook's stuff, and just because he's intellectually way up there doesn't mean he's the only one who knows what he's talking about.
Nocturnal, who do you think are good posters on the board aside Pook and why?

Thanks in advance
 

"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.

I would say don't always go by the quality of the poster, but go by the quality of the post.

This is a great place to start:

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/forumd...1&perpage=35&sortorder=desc&sortfield=voteavg

Some people can have dozens of awesome posts, but there can be one little guy with no credibility who finally understands things, then writes a post full of wisdom that puts some of the better posts to shame.

But in general, read the posts recommended by the bible and the ones on the page I gave you, and you'll start to see who is credible.
