"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 bet ya fellas don't get this question pretty often.

So here it goes -- girl I'm interested in initiates a lot of kino. Great so far. Then while being playful she sticks her finger up my nostril and laughs. :confused:

Of course this isn't a bad sign, but it's a weird gesture if you ask me. Anyone know what this means? Can this weird gesture tell me anything?
 

"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.

I do it.

If I think a girl likes me a bit when I'm talking to her and we're at a party where it's pretty comfortable AND I think she's suspicious of my intentions I'll start telling her she *might* make a good buddy (I like to casually LJBF ASAP in most cases where she's suspicious, it's like kryptonite!) and then mess with her by looking closely at her upper lip, moving my finger in the edge of her nostril and start laughing.

It seems to work in disarming her cause she'll go "ewww" or whatever and get playful like she was in jr high. A "scene" has never happened because of it, but then again, I don't go all the way in.

It could be the shock of "no one's ever done that since i was a kid" or whatever but it does change the whole frame somehow and they get comfortable (chicks are weird, whatever works!). Also, it's my personal version of the "kiss test" where it would be a bad idea to try that. If she's repulsed by my hand getting near and/or touching her face, I'm already toast. If not, it's all good!

I wouldn't try that at a club, just when a girl is safe setting like a house party where she knows people. I'm sure I'd come off as a total creep as a guy if I did it there.

Maybe something you did set off the playful young girl in her?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Nice post man. You really narrowed the whole thing down. :p

Well there are two ways to look at it:

1) she view you as a brother.

2) Maybe its a sign that since she is not disgusted at penetrating your nostril with her finger, she won't be against you sticking your finger into another area in her body where she has a mucous membrane. You know what imasaying?!

Ewww, why would she do that. Personally I think it is gross, but then I have elements of OCD.

She can't view me as a brother.. I've only seen her, like what, 3 times?

Yeah same here, same here. Luckily my nose was clean :D
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
