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.
Deflection. What about it?Oh yeah? Well, what about when the states legalize marijuana, while it's still a crime at the federal level?

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Not much for a sense of humor, eh? Oh well.
Ashcroft v Raiche declared that handing a bag of weed to your neighbor, even if you grew it yourself and charged no money, substantially affected interstate commerce enough to be declared the jurisdiction of the federal government under the interstate commerce clause. The fact that such activity is neither interstate, nor commerce, did not matter. The feds still retain jurisdiction to lock up every legal med pot patient, but simply choose to not do so. They still can if they want to, the states have no right to object in a constitutional sense. So state's rights are not relevant to that situation.Oh yeah? Well, what about when the states legalize marijuana, while it's still a crime at the federal level?

Some people use that passage as an example of masturbation being sinful, although what really is at issue is that Onan is cheating his brother. In any case, semen is not a fetus, nor is ovulation.
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.
Tolkien himself was a devout Christian, and his faith was intrical to his work on Middle Earth.
