"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.

Would LTR with a woman that makes more money than me work?

I'm never taking stimulants to study again... between that and the stress this was probably the lamest sounding post I've ever made

"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.

If it is causing you this much concern without the mention of you being excited or proud of her possible success then "no," it probably won't work.

The city that sleeps. Sometimes.
how old are you dude?

it really sounds like you're way young and you're worrying about this way way way way too early.

you're probably not even going to be with her then..

All right lightyear, from the first post, the part about you being worried about someone else taking her interst from you sounds like the beginnings of a possible jealousy issue. Be careful of that. As to the financial thing, yes sometimes it helps to be the one that brings in more money, but if it comes down to winning an argument and winning respect just by how much you make, that is a pretty pathetic relationship. If she likes you enough, and you are worthwhile enough, she will stay with you most of the time no matter where she goes, although LDRs are usually bad ideas.

Don't get me wrong, I think it rocks that she is going to have a kick @ss career, I'm just concerned about how it could effect me...

you scared she leave you for other man

no

you have issue with self. you call "inner"

i say fix self first.

what is all this about lose "power"? relationship is not game or struggle. you have not power to lose. every thing you see is how you see.

you think lose power then you lose power. but i no lose power to lady love me. because i no think like that.

mind is strong. you have weak mind now. that is your issue with self. fix self. then relationship is ok.

i think you think too much. man is action no think too much.

have more confidence.

hope that help you.

TROLL!
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Purple Pimp speaks like Yoda!!!

To the question:
If you are secure with yourself, if you don't involve your ego then the relationship can work.

I would really like the situation you are in. Not that I'm lazy, but I'd rather have the women work and I stay at home.ü If her money can support the both of us that is.

Well, if you let your pride get over you then you would lose the girl and then she still has higher pay than you (and you not enjoying it ). You won't gain anything by losing her. Except maybe "self-respect".
