this thread may RIP.. as for I sealed the deal with the girl.. alas!
"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.
getting a girlfriend.. still the same?

"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.

Cheesy pick up lines past the age of 18 can be easily seen through! This isn't the Saved By The Bell Era!
In high school, it was easier to ask a girl out, you could straight up do it. In college, those ways fail 93% of the time. If she ain't chasing you, you are highly likely to lose.
Otherwise, I'm in college, and asking (getting) a girl to be my girlfriend is something I'm totally clueless about. I've failed at every attempt, and couldn't get past a first date.

Hey nismo, what kind of things did you try? Give us an example of one of your perceived failures.

Thanks for asking, Kage.
In high school, I was at an all boys school so I had to go to the sister schools to make moves. There are websites that have a collection of cheesy pick up lines (read them and you'll laugh), just don't try them out. You can, however, say that you heard a funny pick up line, then say it. The girl will laugh and you're 93% there. I used this tactic and ended up having the girl all over me then I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. The rest is history.
I did this same trick in college. I've gotten a date which turned me down 5 days later. Another time, I got purely lucky and wound up in a kissing affair. This led her to make me her boyfriend. I was sooooooo in!!!...I sooooooo spoke too soon. I was her boyfriend for 2 days and we didn't even date! She got back with her ex!
In college, I've tried convo plus # close hoping to escalate, straight asking the girl out, having other guys set me up with girls, having girls set me up with other girls, and even relied on pure luck.
Just to name a few.

God only knows what you get. So, if you date a virgin she can't be your girlfriend? Some of us wouldn't date anything that has had some strange guy's fluids dripping from her every orifice.Maxtro said:IMO if you've been having sex with her for about a month then she can be your girlfriend. If you aren't doing her then she isn't your girlfriend. Unless you two have come up with some weird no sex thing then you aren't even in a relationship
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
