"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.

Could still being in love with your ex be a benefit

If you're sleeping with a girl, and she wants to get more serious, could telling her you don't want a relationship cause you're still in love with your ex increase her interest? Make her want to chase you more to get you to get over her.

Maybe she'll think "what does this girl have that i dont?" "Why can't I make him get over her?"

Not sure. Just a thought. What do ya'll think?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hell no. Women are very insecure when it comes to exes. If she thinks there is a chance you will get back with your ex, which she will if you say you are still in love with one, she will not want to commit to you.

The problem with this is that if she's a self respecting or smart girl, she will recognise the red flag and bail. Or she will start looking out for another guy with less emotional baggage.

That's what us guys would (should) do, right?

When you get into the realm of playing games, it's usually the start of a downward spiral. It's far better for her to wonder about you and for you to leave her guessing than to say anything like this directly to her.

If you want to raise her interest, be a challenge, hold back on contacting her from time to time, but generally the less you say the better.

If she isn't a nutter, she'll bail once you say that.

But if she is a nutter she will stick around... big time... because you are emotionally unavailable...

But this creates its OWN set of problems... believe me... nothing like a girl showing up at your house out of nowhere ready to kick another chick's ass...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

i'm assuming you are interested in the girl you want to confess to? if so why would you even dream of doing such a thing?

the only time i confessed that i was still in love with another was in the hope of getting rid of a girl. imagine my surprise when she stuck around. my respect for her diminished as a result. no self-respecting person would stick around for that.
