"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.

Hi, I'm an 18 yr old male with a big issue to deal with. Me and my girlfriend(my first one ever) are going to different colleges. The colleges are about 30-60 min apart. We are afraid that we will not see each other often and we'll begin to drift apart and be tempted to cheat on each other in college, and end up breaking up when we've just started this relationship and loving it.

I WANT to make this relationship work out and stay a couple, but college looks like is gonna make things a lil difficult. This is our last summer together. This is also our first since we only recently became a couple. We both want to remain a couple as long as we can and try to make this long distance relationship work. I plan on transferring to another college after a year, and it happens to be one that is a closer to hers, which could ease her fears.

Ok, to summurize this. Me and my girl are about to go to college, we want to stay together but college may make it difficult. We want to know if we should continue the relationship or end it for it all may be in vain. What do you make of this relationship? Does it have promise? Any advice?
 

"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.

You need to display some more confidence in the relationship. If she really loves you, then it won't be a problem. Just let it sink into your mind and expect it to work out and don't act scared of losing her. Assume to yourself that everything will be okay and it'll rub off on her. You shouldn't have to reassure her that things will be alright because it shows your insecurity towards the relationship.

If you both feel strongly about eachother, it can work.

Will you guys each have a car? If yes then it will be easy to get together on weekends or for special occasions.

30 minutes is no big deal and 60 minutes isn't the end of the world. How long were you guys together in highschool?

Edit: Do not change schools just for this girl. If you have other reasons too thats great, but your education is your life. You will have it forever and it will be a huge factor in your future years, this girl may not even be around in a year.

30 to 60 minutes apart? That's a breeze. If you two were a few states away, that would be bad. You two can make it.
