"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.

Transferring to Public School...

I'm a rising junior and have been in a private high school for the past 2 years. There are only 100 people per grade in the private school and most are geniuses (I was smart enough to get in but I'm among the "dumber" ones)...I'm seriously considering transferring to a large public school to help boost my GPA.

Anybody else here transferred in the middle of high school? My main concern is fitting in and getting a cool reputation...which I failed at the private school (but I've learned a lot since I was new there).

I would assume it's easier to get girls in a large school? I'd like to have more luck in that area...but that may be more of an issue with me, not the school. I'm skinny and defenseless as hell right now (you betcha I'm working to fix that) so probably an easy target to bullying no matter where I am.

Any advice or tips on this would be appreciated. -J
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

1. Make a name for yourself, basically, do the bootcamp THERE. You will earn a rapport VERY easily with many people.
2. Go to school events (especially if you are going to be a senior).
3. Be yourself and find people with common interests

Welcome to the hard life... people in public schools are savages. They often eat each other from time to time. :woo:

Nah I'm just kidding. I, myself, transferred to public school the beginning of my sophomore year in HS. Best advice I can give you is to set a good image for yourself, that is to say establish what image you want... try to find the in-crowd and hang out with them... buy all the elevator passes offered to you... Please do this one... make small talk and friends (crack a few jokes) the first day opposed to just being the quiet new guy. That eliminates the awkwardness of the other students asking themselves "Should I talk to this guy?"

For what its worth,
