"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've gotten so many excuses from girls.
i can't tell the real ones from the fake ones.
basically, if she says no cause she has something else to do, and then doesn't counter-offer, i just leave her alone.

how can i tell the difference between real and fake excuses?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Let me take a guess at the kind of excuses you get. Whenever you try to hang out with her or set up a date she says,"Well,I can't because I am going to be with my friend that day",or "I have to work",or "I have to spend time with my family"or (and this is my favorite) "I'm busy". Are these the kind of excuses you get?

your job is to offer a date..her job is to accept..if she is real busy then it's a timing issue.

If she doesn't counter the offer it means that she has IL...

Remember the one who interest will call back....

It doesn't matter whether her excuses are real or fake; the bottom line is your hand will be keeping you company that night.

Don't worry whether they are real or fake; focus on WHY you are getting any excuses at all.

And yes, if her IL is high, she'll counter offer 95% of the time.
yeah i understand.
so how can i get them more interested.

+ i'm guessing this isn't a question that can be answered in a sentence or two.
i need to go back to step one and fix myself.
 

"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.

Well,unfortunately,DonS is right. What you need to focus on is WHY you are getting these excuses,because there is a reason. But to be honest, the answer is pretty simple. She doesn't want to spend time with you. It really is just that simple. But if she doesn't want to hang out with you,that means that somewhere during the approach while you were talking to her,you made a mistake. The best thing to do would be to examine the approach to see where (if anywhere) you made an error. Trust me, this is something you want to do. The last thing you want is to spend the next 3 years running into this same problem over and over again with girl after girl,only to find out that it was something easily correctable.

You could just SAY, "Hey, is that just an excuse or not?" lol

Seriously, the best you can do is come up with another random day. If she gives you TWO excuses in one converstation it's time to back out.

aight i'm gonna go through the bible and rethink about some stuff.

but does anyone have ideas on where us guys can go wrong?
i know it's her simply not wanting to spend time with me.
but give me example of what i should do.
simply telling me to be more attractive or outgoing is not gonna help.

"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.
