"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.

Lately I've been getting this response and I guess it's cause I'm on a two week dry spell and it shows. How can I prevent this?
 

"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.

when i'm hungry i go to the supermarket. i have it all planned out. i write my shopping list, i pick up my goods and then i go pay. there's no desperation on my part because i got it all planned out. only time i might look desperate is if the shop is shut or my card got declined.

same principle i guess.

Where do I go when I want some *****?
I'm 19. Can't really go to clubs. Don't have a huge social circle where I am. Where should I go?

Your analogy doesn't really fit ... I have to approach to get *****.

well your thread didn't ask 'where do i go to get pvssy?'. it asked how not to look thirsty.

if it's pvssy you want you got to go where the pvssy is. if you're too young for clubs and you don't have a social circle then either go online or go where the poosy is:

high street
library
beach
shopping mall
salsa
etc

when i was your age i used to work in bars and clubs. i was around poosy and i didn't look thirsty cos i had a reason to be there other than getting laid. i earned money and got laid at the same time. :)

The way I see it

With respect as a fellow Beginner Don regardless of your age but I see your problem as a maturity issue. I think though I can help by offering you this advice... Find some older guys and hang out with them. Maybe 24-25-to 30ish. Cousins maybe, trainer? Offer to DD for them maybe if you want to entice them. Anybody let would let you tag along with them a bit. A lot more guys would be willing than you think. I have done it with my younger cousins and my fiends along the way have done it for me. Watch them and mimic. It will help. Even if they themselves are chumps you can still learn the mannerisms of how an adult acts and swaggers. When you get older you start to expect certain things and a level of respect and interaction from people. You will see this and be able to apply it along with what you learn here. You know this at your age, girls always go for the older guy! Learn to act it. Again, with respect dude.

I don't have an issue coming off as immature. I even look a lot older than I am and it usually helps. It's just that I moved to a new town and my options are 0 and it's showing.

In my opinion your fear of showing interest is likely what's keeping you from becoming confident at pickup.

A DJ, in my opinion, can approach direct, precise, and strong. It's perfectly fine to show strong interest in a female and even come across as aggressive. Neither approach is needy, in my opinion. Some chicks won't like it. Others will, though.

When I approach a hot chick, I know that she already knows what's up. So I rarely ever find it effective to feign disinterest or make jokes about her fake nails in order to trick her into liking me.

Men pursue. We want sex MUCH more than women do--because our bodies are filled with testosterone. This is not a bad thing, in my opinion, because women are attracted to masculinity.

No girl that I know ever rejected me for showing interest or for having a strong sex drive; I DO personally believe, though, that girls have rejected me for appearing timid or uncertain about my sexuality.
I have to ask, what made you think this was my problem.

As soon as I read it I realized that's what my problem is. Thanks man, I'll work on it.

Don't blubber and over talk too. I find my successes is when I've made a woman I approach do most of the talking while guiding the conversation as I let her carry on. We both know my intentions and if she reciprocates, it is up to her to impress you and you to then make the move.

Good link, great commentary as always Espi.
 

"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.
