"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.
Why do I need so much sleep?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Sleeping too much can be bad.
For example, usually after eight or nine hours, I wake up, but I'm usually so sleepy I'll drift back off for another few hours unless I need to get up for work.
It's all about routine though man, without me over complicating things.
If you go to bed at 11 every night for two weeks and get a good 8/9 hours sleep, you'll get in to a good routine and wake up every morning at the right time feeling reasonably refreshed.

then there will come periods of time, where your body does not require as much sleep.
then you will need the sleep again...like me when you are 30 and you want to keep up with your job, chores and offspring... your body tires fast.
then you get old like my grandma, and go to bed at 6pm and wake up at 1 am and be so energetic that you vacuum the whole house, do 3 loads of laundry before sunrise...only to need a nap again at 10 am.
"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.
1) Is this something that has just started?
2) What happens if you get out of bed after 8 hrs or
so...are you very sleepy and drained the rest of the day?
3) How's your overall health otherwise?
4) Are you friggin' depressed?
5) Is this something you need EVERY night?
I'm no dr., but requiring 17hrs of sleep each night is NOT healthy, I don't care what else is going on. A couple of weeks ago I caught this flu that just sapped me of life and there were a couple of days I literally slept about 15 hrs each day. I felt like complete shyt and my body needed some serious healing and recovery. If you are otherwise "healthy" there is no reason in the world you should need that much sleep. 17 hrs is a major sign your body is fighting something. Even the laziest people I know with time to spare sleep 10, 12 hrs at the MOST.
"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.
