"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.

After thinking about it, I wish I made her make her decision on the spot and to tell her I am not some backup plan if her first does not fall through. Do you think it would be a good idea if I went up to her this week and to tell her to make her decision directly and not leave it up in the air?? I think it would make me look like I am in control and don't play her little games of being a backup plan which I don't want to be. And if I strike out, I can always try to find another girl...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Thing is, she told me "I will go with you, BUT I don't know what (her ex-bf) is doing" In my mind I was thinking maybe he asked her already? But, she looked right at me when she said it, and I believed her. Everything you hear and read is that women will make excuses for you to make the "rejection" seem better for you. To me, it seems like maybe she will really think about it and give me a fair chance in maybe I will be her pick. Did she do a good job selling to me that I had a chance or do you think she is considering her options between me and her ex who is now her friend??

Well guys, today we talked about the prom and she has decided to go with me. I told her I would think about it for the day, then get back to her. I told her I'd go with her and inside myself, I knew she was going to let me know. Honestly though, I always thought when a girl makes an excuse it usually is a no, but I guess maybe I got lucky. So I am goin to go with her and we are ridin in the same limo. Any pre-planning advice to make the next two months before the prom go smoothly?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

keep flirting, go out on dates/double dates

make sure you get your tux rented a few weeks ahead, or else it's going to cost extra.

also remember to get your corsage/boutoneire watever, 2-3 weeks earlier, or else it will cost you, or you might not even get it.

make sure all arrangements are in place.

Would I get her flowers because I think we are going as friends even though I never told her that? I would rather go as a couple somehow, but anyway she can go with me is fine. The limo ride should be fun and I am gonna also have to pay for that. I also wanted to pimp cain, haha, and some shades to make me look pimpin! I really hope all goes well and nothin goes wrong...:p

I see it as prom is your last resort thing the whole point of it is if you havn't gotten laid by then thats the night you should lose it and no one after prom should still be a virgin even the fat/ugly kids. The whole point is to spend enough money on crap that the chick will wanna have sex with you. So unless you are still a virgin just don't go to prom.

Well I am still going with the girl I tried so hard to get and finally at least got her to go with me. Took a while, but it finally happenened and I want to have a lot of fun. I don't look at it like that--if you are a virgin, you must lose it that night. I doubt it will be like that at mine, but I think you would know more than me so I will respect and evaluate your opinion.

I just want things to go well before it finally comes and I am looking forwards to May because I don't have to worry about finding a date, so its all good. Can anyone gimme a little story about how yours went and what was good/bad about it?

Thanks a lot for all of your help and I appreciate all the replies from all.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
