"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.

$20 can get me plenty of beer, it can get me at least a rainy day's worth of weed, it can get me a good old game, or a really ****ty new game, or one on sale or even an indie. it can take me to see a kickass movie too.
Going on a date takes me 5 hours at least. I earn about $160 per hour. So I have to waste $800 worth of time just to go on a date. You think I'm trying to save an extra $20??
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

A) a 5 hour date doesn't sound like much fun, what do you even do that takes 5 hours? or is it a series of activities kind of thing? (like, ice skating then some food then a movie)

B) technically speaking, 5 hours is only worth $800 if you took the 5 hours off of work, otherwise you'd have been doing something else, which would STILL be $800 you aren't making either way

Try having dinner for 2 hours and sex for 3 hours.

When you work on a project basis, 5 hours is 5 hours. Your hourly rate is your weekly salary divided by 40 (hours).

I still have high hopes for this situation........................:)
I dont think its toast. The last time we talked (in the gym) for about 15 minutes straight about her family life and various personal details.She confided in other things, which I wont mention

She's opening up to me I find. Im going to be in a holding pattern and get to know her more as she seems to be wanting to talk here and there. I'll see how this progresses
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Oh I agree!! I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear you got your first kiss on date 17 and after a few Grand spent

It's not a race. I'm adapting to her comfort levels and seeing what happens. I can't force it on my terms or some forum standard( no offence)

So you agree that nots its toast?. You seem to have a positive feeling about this situation.

Thread should probably be closed by now
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Says it's not a troll thread, but by my public school math, it's been more than the week that she said to try again. And you didn't try again. And yet, you still have hope. It sounds to me like any day, this girl is going to show up on your doorstep with a big, fresh bowl of p*ssy. And then you can come back here and tell all of us know-nothings, that you told us so.
OMG. I can't believe I read all six pages of this. I am ashamed.

So tonight she came up beside me sat down and starred at me for like 4 minutes straight as I filled some form out for someone else, big doe eyes. I didnt ask she just ran up beside me in the higher chair as I stood there by the table. I mean her eyes were locked and glued to me the whole time like 5 inches away.

She also smiles at me from a distance now . So I dunno I haven't down anything than make small talk. She keeps offering me things as well, water, food random stuff

Its almost like me playing it cool and acting like its no big deal, has generated some positive response. Tonight was nuts. I need to ask her more questions about herself. Im keep telling dumb stories they get her laughing but I hog the conversation too much

I don't get these types of trolls. Who has time to manage this whole story line. Sniping trolls, who come in and make inflammatory posts, I get those, but these elaborate, time wasting trolls.....
Next time she stares at you, be a man and grab her by the p*ssy.

I have found out that her and the Ex and trying to make it work and trying to make another go at things.

” I had suspicions about this the whole time. There were other things that happened after this thread, we talked a bit and I was getting really mixed signals. I didn’t update it until now .

I got the inside scoop from a mutual friend. I have now seen them hanging out and such. They had briefly broken up as of the summer but now reconsidering and I show up in the middle of things. This is a couple weeks back. Right as I asked or around that time

I took some time off this thread to update,

On to better things

When you have to ask anonymous men whether you are being blown off, you are.
