Geeky HB "study buddy" coming to my pad, suggestions?

"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.

Just get a pizza delivered. You want her to be in a good mood when you make your move and that's going to be more likely if she's eaten delicious pizza and not your crummy frozen burgers.

Escalate the kino and show your desire through eye contact. If all the IOIs seem there then definitely go in for the kiss. Do it in a confident manner: like you KNOW she wants it and is definitely going to reciprocate. Don't do it cautiously. Dante1a had a good post.

"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.
