"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.

GSP and I each closed on a number of 2 females who are friends. GSP and I were thinking about having a double date, but here's the dilemma:

If one person calls and sets something up, his value is lowered if he asked her to bring her friend along, showing that he can't go out on a date by himself.

If both call at the same time, it seems set up and also conveys DLV.

We both feel that the double date will be good if we can get it, because since we know each other really good we can make a lot of convo, from there we can try to isolate.

The question is: Who calls?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Each of you call his chick, asks her to the same place at the same time.

If one chick can't make it then, then don't worry about double dating. It's not so great. More like for married/engaged couples.

Don't double date for the first date. Not even the first few dates!

Sends the wrong signal. It makes you guys look like you need each other for support...like two teenager girls. It would also put pressure on the girls...one of them might want to get laid, and might hold it back because of the lack of privacy and peer pressure.

I mean...what's the point? What do you win with it? You lose a LOT more too.

Agreed. For at least the first few dates, focus your full attention on each other instead of on a group. Double dates cause distraction, and it will slow down your progress with her. Wait until you've been dating her a while before you hang out with friends.

Uh, unless you are setting them up for the swap. Hmm... freakiness.

I agree, unless you are swingers, too many chefs spoil the soup.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
