"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.

Alright folks, just came back clubbing. here's a FR report for your amusement. I went clubbing alone and met this girl. let's call her girl K.

Me: (sitting by myself, enjoying the beats)
(Girl K came with her girlfriends, they sat next to me, taking pictures and giggles and stuff)
Me: Hi! I am sharkybear (to girl K)
K: hi I am K!
Me and K: bla bla bla (some conversation, I forgot what)
Me: you like the beat?
K: Yeah!
Me: wanna dance?
K: sure! (talked to her gf that she's going dancing -- good thing they weren't ****blocking)

(dancing, really close kino, spin)

K: let me introduce you to my cousin (apparently one of her gfs was her cousin)
Me: sure!

(her cousin went somewhere, so we went back chilling at the spot with one of her gfs)

(several minutes later, they played my fav song)

Me: OMG! we have to go back!
K: (looking back at one of her gf - let's call her A)
A: go ahead (to K)

(we went back dancing..heavy kino again, and I managed to kiss her this time)

we then went to the other room playing different kind of music (more dancing and kino+kiss got heavier)

closing night, it turns out she's the designated driver. she handed me her number without me asking. Well, I didn't get laid tonight, but I had fun. :up:
 

"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.

Nice job. One of the keys here was her looking over to her friends (cousin?) for approval to keep hanging out with you. You seemed okay, so they allowed it (or maybe they just wanted to make sure the DD had fun too).

What's also good here is that since she was DD and was not drinking a lot, the number close holds more weight than it would for the average wasted club rat.

Haha yeah. I was expecting they would give me dirty looks.

This is true. I just called her back. She said she'd been missing me a hell lot, asking me why I didn't call her. She really was expecting my call, making assumptions why I didn't call her, though it's possible it's bs. We'll see, I'll update the status.

I forgot about this thread. Here's an update:

We met at my place. I showed her around my apt. Since I just got back from work that night, I was feeling icky. I ate while talking to her, then took a shower. She patiently waited for me (yes, at this point, we both knew that we both wanted to fvck, it's just not verbalized *important!*). I got off the shower, she was reading some random stuff on my desk asking me questions about it. I finished brushing my teeth, she was looking at some pictures on the wall, I hugged her from behind, told her about the pictures, then started kissing her, and you know the rest.

There was no resistance. We still meet each other to this day for some small dates between our busy schedule.
 

"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.

It's a bit intimidating at first because you see people going out with friends and you are just by yourself, but once you are inside, nobody cares really, and as soon as you hit your target, it's all good.
