Long story short, took a girl on a couple of dates (4), then found out through mutual friends (at different times) that she has a boyfriend, and hasnt had the decency to tell me. Seriously youd think being in your 20s youd learn to grow up.
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.
