"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.

I'll begin by saying that I seriously, seriously, screwed up. I'm talking, behaviour so bizarre that Tom Cruise's recent shenanigans wouldn't raise a single brow in comparison. I wanted so bad not to lose her, that I did everything TO lose her. That kinda thing.

Anyway, I scared her off. Either that, or she hooked up with someone else a little more grounded, but I definately did a lot of wrong things, and I take full blame (well, the alcoholic shell I was living under didn't help). Duh. I didn't hear from her for a month, and I was too ashamed of myself to even attempt contacting her.

I spent that time re-evaluated things, and made a lot of changes in my life, and I quickly bounced back and started acting like myself again.

Then, just when I thought it was safe, she sends me a text message. She indirectly asked me out to see a movie. I questioned her sudden interest, assuming that she was terrified of me, and also told her that I had already seen it. She tells me that she needed time to get over it (IE: whoever she hooked up with must not have done it for her). She also said that she misses me, and that we should get together sometime. I reply with a simple "Oh", and let it go, for now.

Now, she's either still interested in me (she must be a masochist), she got dumped and needs some validation, or she's plain just fvcking about with my head.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what she does next, and hope I don't revert back into a mong.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If she dumped you, then you seriously cannot expect anything serious out of this. I believe Antidump here. When a girl says "It's over" you are now a loser in her eyes, and nothing you can ever do in the future, can get her to have a serious committed relationship with you. Do you just want to play around with her, not too serious? Go ahead, that's okay But for the love of god, don't get attached to a girl that's dumped you, and don't expect a relationship.
Cause if she comes back and says "I miss you, I want to see you", then basically what's she's saying is:

"Well Now that I know that I can dump you and you'll still be here when I get back, you'll do basically anything I want! YAY! I have a lapdog".

If it was me, no matter how hard, I would say no. Just no. Not now, not ever.
