"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.

Alrighty oh, I guess Week two's over. I definitely did my ten convos with strangers, but, as I said earlier, I was supposed to mix up Weeks 2 and 3 (exams during Week 3...) and I didn't talk to as many girls as I thought I would :down:

Well that's that... I'll try to do some homework during week 3, but don't expect much... Real homework goes first!
 

"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.

Week 2 Report

I'm done here too. Nothing fancy or crazy, I talked to strangers at the places that I normally hang out, ventured out to a few new places. I started going to the gym recently too, and was able to strike up some convos there too. I have found that just by introducing yourself you are able to chat for a few minutes rather easily.

The one catch is that I didn't get to chat with anyone who I would consider dating. That will be the more difficult step in week 3, and I think I am going to have to venture even further out of my comfort zone, as well as spending more time chatting. I guess this is why they call it boot camp.
