"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.

Flirting with a girl in front of one who rejected you really works!

A couple of weeks ago I got a girls number from one of my classes after she showed some interest. Later I asked her out to lunch, but she rejected me with all sorts of excuses. I took the rejection well and acted relatively indifferent. We'll call that girl Sara.

Just today I was flirting with a girl who I'm not really interested in, but have good rapport with. We'll call her Laura. In walks Sara who sits right behind me and Laura while we're flirting. I just ignored her.

A couple minutes later Sara taps me on the shoulder and tries to get my attention by asking me about class. She makes some really good eye contact and I can tell she's jealous lol. I continue acting indifferent toward her however.

Just before Sara leaves class (she had to go early) she asks for my phone number out of no where and tells me she's going to call me. A few guys behind us were laughing their asses off at how desparate she sounded when she asked for my number after she left the room. I just turned around and shruged with a grin on my face.

Not only was this a nice ego boost, Laura also acted twice as friendly toward me for the rest of class!

This was only a couple hours ago so she hasn't called yet (if she does). Whether or not she actually calls, I still think this was funny and an accomplishment to be proud of
 

"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.

Playing the jealousy card is probably one of the easiest and best things to do in that situation.

I learned this early on when I just started "hanging out" with a girl after I had broken up with my LT g/f in high school. I ended up banging both of them.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
