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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
rkc09 said:hmm....i don't know if b-ball with a female is the best date. Well if she likes to hoop then go for it. But I wouldn't ask her to play basketball. I say you guys meet up at at bowling alley, or the movies, or go to each other's house, or etc. BUT, remember it doesn't matter where you guys go or do as long as you have FUN.
As for asking her. It's simple, just a simple "what are you doing this weekend" is good. If she's not doing anything then ask her out.
Example
You: hey, what are you doing this weekend?
Her: hmmm... nothing, why?
You: Cool, lets play b-ball this Friday
But Basketball isn't a good idea but hey who I'm I to say whats fun. If you like it, she likes it go for IT! Good Luck![]()
danny987 said:how do you ask it? say i wanted to play... idk... basketball!
We should go on a date?
or
hey wanna go play basketball?
or whatever you ask. enlighten me!
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.
