"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.

Collosus....you are right on. You can't fix them. My wife and I are always moving forward with our relationship. It hurts me to know what she endured, but I have just listened to her history as she has related it to me. I never tried to be her therapist. Only her husband. She appreciates that about me. I am glad she doesnt talk about it all the time. That would create some real problems. Sometime I would like to tell you what happened to her so you can see where I am coming from and explain how I have dealt with it. I am quite sure there are many men on here who have been, and are, in a relationship with a woman with a similar history. I am sorry for the 2.5 LTR that caused you so much pain. No rain, no rainbows.........
 

"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.

You may be surprised to know that sexual abuse is usually not about sex. It is more about power and control. People who sexually abuse others are often insecure.
You may need all info about this issue while dealing with this girl. It will take a lot of your time and effort. Is it worth it? What will she bring to you? Or is it all about her?
