"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.

While to an extent I DO agree that spending too much time together is bad.... here is my question:

What will happen when we get married one day?

At that time, we will LITERALLY be living with the woman, and we WILL do most things with her and see her not just 5 times a week, but 7 days a week. And that relationship wont be one that will need to last for a few years, it will be a relationship that will need to last forever (30 - 40 years roughly I’m guessing) .... So what then?

In my opinion, I think we need to LEARN how to be ABLE to be with the woman we love every day, and STILL make it work, and not for a short while, but for as long as you want.

The way to do this? Just make sure that you don’t start getting bored with her.... Do different things with her, go to different places with her, pick up new hobbies that the 2 of you can do together, make up new nicknames for her (yes, all these small things add up, trust me), ALWAYS be passionate with her, surprise her, etc... just keep that spark alight.

And just like you will act that way towards your gf/wife, she will act accordingly.

The thing is, is that most guys (and girls) out there think that a relationship and love is simple and everything just flows.... the truth is, is that it DOESNT, YOU and HER, BOTH of you together have the responsibility to keep that spark alight in the relationship. The second the one of you slack, it WILL affect the relationship. It might seem like too much of a mission to do now (all the things I stated that u need to do to keep the relationship alive and healthy), but after you do it for long enough, you should get to a stage where doing all of that, and more, will come naturally to you.

Anyways... I don’t want to flood you guys with this "different view" of looking at things, but I hope that this tip helps some of you out there;)

"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.

umm i have to disagree. wen u're married u also just fart, burp and all that around each other, but u're unlikely to do that in a relationship

like u make a valid point, we should learn, but its a difficult task and its much safer to just not spend too much time with them

too much of anything is not good for u. she will get bored of u if u spend too much time with her

Clearing things up...

That is one of the things that you SHOULDNT do.... That’s part of my point.... Just because you are married, that doesn’t mean that you should allow yourself to "slack" in a sence or stop doing what you are doing (the things that are keeping the relationship alive as a whole) so therefore, you SHOULDNT be farting and burping next to each other when you are married. People that think like you are the people that end up getting divorced, because you think that just because you are married to her now, you can do things like fart next to her, or not be so romantic with her, etc.
she will get bored of u if u spend too much time with her
She will only get bored of you (and visa versa) if you MAKE her get bored with you (or visa versa) ... Like I said, its up to the both of you to keep that flame alight.

I hope I cleared things up for you.

Me and my girlfirend live together and weve talked about this. We always try to spent some time apart and our lives just lead to that anyway(school, study, sport, friends)

I agree though, you should definatly try to spent some time apart. We started talking about this after a phase in which we had lots of fights, humans just need some time to themselves sometimes.

Yes... don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that you must spend every second of your life with your gf/wife, of coarse you must do your own thing, peruse your hobbies, play sports, have a boys night out etc, I am just saying that when you DO get married/live together, you need to do certain things in order to make the relationship a success;)

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Spending time with your girlfriend is good, but...


If you let spending time with her get in the way of your personal goals and ambitions, you are doing nothing but harming your life. Any girl should fall way behind you in the priorities line. She should also fall behind your family, and your close friends until she proves herself over the years.
