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.
In some cultures it’s standard routine, others not. I come from my country’s standard firm handshake crowd, so it’s all foreign to me.…
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I think Vladimir Putin, has some guts to react in the way he did.A definite no.
A pat on the back or a handshake is fine.
The look on his face is pricless!I think Vladimir Putin, has some guts to react in the way he did.
Most world leaders, would PLAY BALL from fear of accusations of being homophobic.
Nah hugs are gay imo no offence
Op stop loving putin this much, its gay too, i wonder if youd love him if you were from ukraine
I can relate to Putin, we share the same personality type. INTJI give zero fuks about what Ukraine thinks.. I'm giving Putin some credit for THIS particular video, regarding, MAN HUGS.
No need to dig up Ukraine, that subject matter is totally unrelated..no point in getting all touchy about things bruv.
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.
Not really, takes no guts at all. It's common knowledge that Putin is very homophobic, his reaction shouldn't come as a shock to anyone.I think Vladimir Putin, has some guts to react in the way he did.

homowat? I'm just not into guys.I reckon me and wifehunter, would react the same way.
I would defo AVOID man hugs, and extend my arm out for a hand shake instead.
Maybe we are homophobic
