"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.

I downloaded the Chinese pod course and I play that's while I'm doing my household chores. That has worked great and my Chinese is a bit established now.

I've heard good things about Latina chicks, I've also been chatting to this Colombian chick online and that's been fun.

I like latin dance and we have Spanish conversation meet up groups in Melbourne. So sounds like there is potential for expanding my market.

I downloaded the Spanish pod course but it's a bit weird even though it says its newbie level it doesn't start from scratch.

So can anyone recommend a course preferably one that I can download but I'm happy to spend a bit of money if its good.

I don't want an app because the whole point is to add some value to the time I use for my chores - I.e. Its needs to be something I can just listen and talk back to.
 

"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.

They all suck to me. I would recommend taking class and then, hang around some people speaking Spanish. Take my advice with a grain of salt though, I struggle with teaching myself anything. I am an auditory learner, but most of the CDs don't do much 'teaching' IMO.
 

"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.
