"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.

Girl being a bad friend

I met this girl through a friend about a year ago, and we'd only hang out when we were out with our mutual friend, who is really cool. Over time we became decent friends. The thing that frustrates me is that she's really flakey. We all hang out roughly every other weekend, but she flakes out almost as much as she actually comes out.

We all went out last night for drinks, and when our mutual friend left, we got to a bit of flirting. She was pretty fun to hang out with. I had to leave early because I work in the morning, but we made plans to meet up tonight for a free show that was playing in our area.

So fast forward to today, I text her when I'm on my way home from work, and told her since the weather sucks we shouldn't go to the show (it was an outside show). She said that's cool, how about you just come over to my place. I said I could come over a little later because I was still in traffic, and I'd call her. Then she texted me like 90 minutes later saying she was still not feeling well (she said she was really hungover from last night in our initial conversation) and asked for a rain check.

I still haven't responded because I am not sure if this is a sh!t test (why is she giving me one anyway??) or how I should respond. If I get mad I come off insecure and if I say no worries then I am encouraging that behavior. Considering she has a pretty full past of pulling stuff like this, it's not safe to say it won't happen again.

So, how do you deal with this? She's my friend and I don't want to cut off communication with her, but I'm getting frustrated with this type of behavior. I know it's not just me, because she flakes on her best friends all the time as well. She's a fun person to hang out with but she is getting hard to deal with.

Thoughts, on her, and how I respond tonight?

Thanks.
 

"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.

Seriously, no help guys?

When she wrote and said she was feeling sick and wanted a raincheck, I replied, "Maybe..how are you going to make up for bailing on me?"

She just responded, good question, i'm not sure.

Pretty weak response in my opinion...
