"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.

Well Friday's my birthday. I'm becoming a really mature man now. I know this doesn't belong in the MM forum but I read and post more here than anywhere else. I expect iqqi to buy me a shot :cheer:
 

"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.

LOL, yeah the title is deceiving. Nothing I'd like more than getting out of this cold and going down to warm FL and having a few drinks with you. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get away this winter, but I hope to make it down there sometime in the future.

Aren't you in the midwest? I can send one to you via priority mail... but this is kinda late notice. I really would have, too.
Yes I live in the midwest. I was hoping you'd hand deliver me shots.

You have to go out TONITE because your bday is officially at midnite.

Shoulda known you were an aquarius. They are all as$holes.
It's so cold tonight and windy too. It's suppose to be down to like 4 degrees. Probably no one will be out. So now you're impuning an entire astrological sign lol?
 

"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.
