"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.

Exactly where I want to be.
So I survived, what? Three months on my own? Now I come craaawling back (well, not really).

I dunno - Ever since I left SS everything doesnt quite seem the same. I think I just got burnt out for a while concentrating most of my posting efforts to that of a Moderator and not enough on developing myself into the cash-money skillionaire I should be.

So I'm back now - With authorit-ah! Whats more, now that I've transferred schools and am now attending an "actual" college with chicks and parties and weed, I need to set up some priorities to get back on top.

I guess I'm not really sure where to start here...I've been pretty concentrated on school for most of this first half-semester, so I need to de-rust some of my social skills. Mostly the speaking ones...Man theres so many different types of people that attend here, I gotta develop some new tactics. I'm not sure if I should be annoyed by this or happy that I've got a sh!tload of options. Probably the latter :)

Anyway guys...I just wanted to make a quick re-intro and I'll try to hit up these boards as often as possible. I got some catchin up to do.
 

"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.

:) Welcome back you (we should make you a mod again) skank (just kidding). Always a pleasure to have you back Mike... onward!
 

"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.
