"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.
Very good looking - but they don't approach me

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Ha! and wasn't he making fun of that other guy "Zombie"? j/k you're alright mate, but I can't tell much b/c your in you blasted boxers.
Do you dress good? You look like you could pull off the preppy/ frat boy look well. That would just give off an aura of confidence.

You are just another guy thinking that you have to have a perfect body to attract women. I am tired of seeing a lot of guys way skinner than him getting hot women.
The problem is the attitude which is the same issue I have. Some girls tell i am cute and are attracted to me even being what you call "skinny". By the way, some girls are intimidated by big guys. Being too big can backfire.

I think most people would agree with me on this one: the guy needs to approach/initiate the contact
It's just like sitting on your a** and waiting for the companies to come and recruit you when YOU are looking for a job, "because I'm such a talented person and I have so many great degrees/qualifications and I went to a big name school and had great grades in a great major...".
How about sending out your résumé and starting some applications?
The same thing with the ladies...

I've also been noticing averaging looking guys with hotties. Did the stars allign on dec. 31 at 11:59 pm or is game a requsite for approaching women?
"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.
