"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.

ok so this is gonnabe short and to the point. my gf of one month is losing interest in me becuz she is extremely outgoing and I'm more of an introvert. I start getting outgoing when I'm comfortable with ppl. when I hang out with her friends its sort of hard to make conversation and she has already gotten mad at me becuz she says that I shuld be open with them. its just that I need 2 feel more comfortable with them and don't really kno them. I need to know how to be more social becuz she is losing interest fast. I mean I've done everything 2 win her so far. its just being social is the hard part for me. how can I improve being social with her friends, I mean usually when we go out her friends are mostly girls.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

the problem is that you're far too self-conscious of what her friends will think of you, or what she will think of you. Don't worry about any of that. Think as if you were judging them instead of the other way around. You are there to be impressed by them; you give them a chance and wait to be wooed. Put the pressure of being entertaining off of yourself and onto them, and you will see, you'll be much more relaxed and calm, and outgoing.

Strive to be more social for yourself. Stop being afraid of your gf getting mad or what her friends think. Makes plans and choose what YOU want to do and where YOU want to go. If you want to work on your social skills invite some of your friends out too. That way you can split and regroup when you like, and you wont seem all needy hanging around her all night.

Its over with her, however use this time to practice being more outgoing, I would suggest reading some books on conversation skills.

Man, your GF doesn't like you enough right now. If she did, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. So you are obviously screwing up in other areas as well. Sounds like you are trying too hard to please her. First of all, if you don't feel like hanging with her friends then just make other plans. But if you do hang out with them...just make as much convo as you can with them and don't cling to your girl's side like some wuss.

Do you have any guy friends? Make plans for guy nights out more often if you do.

My ex Gf..who was obsessed with me...always wanted me to hang with her and her friends. After two times, I let my GF know that I didn't want to hang with her friends but would tolerate it every once in a while to consider her feelings. My GF respected me for that. If you don't want to hang with her friends you don't have to....your GF is not your boss dude. Let her know that she is not your entire world by your actions. There is more to life than some girl you have dated for only a month.
 

"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.
