"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.

I get impatient if my GF take a long time before replying my SMS. What would you do if your GF takes a long time (about an hour) to reply to one of your text messages? Act cool like nothing's happened? Reply back after a long time too? Or ask her why she did that?

texting is pretty much for girls. Isolated exceptions aside - there was one guy on here who is hearing impaired and did well communicating via text - you should not be texting back and forth.

because usually we reply each other every 5 minutes or so. 1 hour is too much and it's as if she doesn't respect me.

That's the risk we take when using text message. If they don't reply, we're screwed. Don't go texting her again asking why she didn't reply. What did you say in the last message you sent her?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

judging by your signature, i predict that you'd reply back to her after an hour also, eh?

Dam right!

"one hour is too long"- thats the most pussified answer I've ever heard in my life.
If your little world revolves around a sms reply for the whole hour, your really just drowning yourself in pathetic ism.

Don't you have something other to do. Sports, studying and hang with some real men?

This thread reeks of AFC behavior.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

It's not important to know, really. It could be serious or casual. Some of the reasons she takes a long time to reply are these:

1. She forgot. She's usually sorry for this.
2. She's with her friends. This kinda bug me. It's like her friends are the main priority.
3. We're having an argument. So it's some kind of a silent treatment.

And no, I rarely ask her why she didn't reply. I only ask, "what have you been doing?" or something like that.

Just stop..... this is just hurting my manhood. Stop being such a girl.

1. She forgot - who doesn't? Reminds me I have to reply my mothers text from last month, ****!

2. She's with her friends - Wow, she got a life! Where is yours?

3. We're having an argument - And sms'ing is gonna solve all that?

Since when did replying, sending or receive become any such of priority?

Texting sucks because when they don't reply it pisses you off. Ween yourself off that garbage asap.

Well, in my country text messaging is a widely used way to communicate with a significant other. So yeah, it's hard to stop that habit.

what is your country?
Don't think too much about slow response speed.
You don't have to respond to her texts either if you are busy.

Thats seriously sad. As sad as (i hear) in Arabic countries little boys and girls have to use blue tooth to send messages to each other via Phone when in public places to try and hook up with each other anonymously.

Let me be honest, my sister is expect at text'in friends and family, all i get is texts from her, i don't remember the last time she ever called me. And her friends do it as well.

You know why (be honest here), cause its cheaper then calling. Your all cheap using a cheap method of communication, which is just sad!

I pity you. Do some maths here. for every 6 sms you send you probably could have made a one minute call. Save the 6 (worthless sms's anyway), call her which is far better then some text on a display screen.

You seem to be worried about what she is doing. Are you scared of her cheating on you? That is a bigger problem than any text message. Insecurity is the kiss of death. You have to not worry about what she is doing. Worrying is for women. Let her worry about you. And you have to really not care if she cheats - it's her loss for losing you, and then you simply replace her. But being insecure, jealous, needy and clingy - even though it is an attempt to keep her faithful - is actually the behavior that will make her most likely to cheat. Plus, why does it even matter that she responds? I have been with plenty of women who text another guy while in bed with me. They just leave that part out of the text.

Maybe you text her to death so she gets tired of it. When I get several texts within an hour I don't feel like replying to them all. Not even close.

Limit your texting, reply to hers if you must, but text "convos" are lame, seriously. Only exception is when its flirty.

Reply to hers when its convenient, but if you have something important to talk about (important enough to warrant you being butt-hurt about not getting a prompt reply :rolleyes: ) then *gasp* call her.
