"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.

A female friend/crush is moving away. How should I interpret her actions?

So I've known a woman for 5 months. We are not particularly close and rarely hang out. Whenever we did hang out, there were always other people around. But during those times, we often teased each other and had a good time, so I would consider myself different from her other friends.

A few weeks ago, I asked her out via email, not because I didn't have the guts, but because I didn't have her numbers and we hardly saw each other face to face. She said no and used the excuse "too much going on right now". So naturally as a guy, I assumed she wasn't interested.

Few days later, I sent her a nice article to read and she replied asking how I was doing. I said I was doing very well because I assumed she was just making sure I was ok after being rejected.

Few days passed, she informed us via email that she was relocating for a new job, approx 4 hrs away. I was sad but remained composed enough to send a "goodbye" email back. She then replied and suggested me to attend a group event. Due to work, I wasn't able to, but I made it clear that I was not avoiding her and on the contrary wanted to meet her. I said I could visit her sometimes and we would hang out then. I asked for her # and got it. She also said she "better see me before she moves".

I don't know she turned me down cuz she was really busy with the move or wasn't simply interested in me. I don't want to add more pressure on her since she has enough on her plate. I don't mind the long distance relationship and driving to see her once a month. But I just need a clever way to find out if there is something more than just friendship between us without giving her an ultimatum. I'll ask her out again in a couple of weeks, but unsure if I should play it cool or try to get some closure? Thanks
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You're chasing too hard and doing too much rationalizations in your head. You've asked her out. She said no. Simple. Leave it at that. Cut off all contact with her.
