"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.

Okay guys, here's the deal. My best friend decided to man up and actually ask out this girl. Yeah, that's great and all, but his parents are super strict and they won't let him go out with her unless i go on the date with them, which in turn means that i have to double date with him... Long story short, I haven't ever gone on a date, and I don't have many options. I'm not friends with many girls at all, and the ones i am friends with for the most part have bf's. There are a few that I could go with, but i'm just not interested in.
Yeah, I'm screwed
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If you're only doing it as a favor to your buddy then it doesnt matter if you like your date or not.
Yeah,I agree. It's not like your trying to find your "soul mate",you're just looking for a companion for that one day. Hey,you got to do what you got to do man. If you're not looking to date or get into a relationship at the moment,then just ask one of your female friends and be honest with her. Tell her the truth. Tell her that your friend has a date,but his parents won't let him go unless he goes on a double date. This way your female friend will understand that it's just a "friendly" sort of thing,and she won't feel any kind of pressure or weird feelings because all you're trying to do is help out one of your friends.

The thing I don't understand is you saying that you've never had a date before. What is that? What,have you already forgotten about Halloween?
Does this ring a bell?

I thought only high school chicks need their girly friend to come along as morale support on dates? Why would you want to go there to c0ckblock your friend on his date? You said he "man up" - well he didn't! Still very much under papa and mama's thumbs.

Anyway, easy solution for you: rock up at his place to pick his girly arse up to satisfy his parents, then piss off so that your friend can have a date free of c0ckblockers and catch up with him later when the kid's about to go home before curfew. That way you don't need a date and don't have to be the in-your-face third wheel, and his parents are happy (hopefully happy enough to remove those sticks up their arses and let their son develop into a man).

Damn... what's wrong with kids these days? Can't tell a decent lie anymore. If I was going to see my girlfriend I'd be out that night "at my friend's" and I would coordinate it with my friends.

And... what Jitterbug said. Just go there to pick him up and drop him off.
 

"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.
