"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.

now I don't want to know who's bi or gay ,


I started thinking right now , and reading some material from the bible .

how often do you guys here ask that question ?

or should this statement be avoided at all costs

what's a good way to ask this question without sounding too needy or creepish?

all thoughts are welcome!
 

"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.

I never ask this question. Because it doesn't matter to me. If it matters to her that she has a boyfriend she'll let you know. But sometimes they pull the ol' switcheroo! When you make a move, then they let it be known! Attention ***** alert.

Anyways, I think that question is a bit too forward as if you might be trying to fill that role, and I figure she wouldn't be flirting or out in a club alone if she had a SERIOUS boyfriend. I stress serious again. If you must ask this question make it a little less direct by assuming she already has one as a test: "your boyfriend probably wouldn't approve..."

It just depends. I've met girls who would be with guys at bars, or maybe bring one up when I first met them and I ask them. I wouldn't just ask anytime though.
