"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.

girlfriend dating some other guy

"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.

dont even worry. I would only be concerned if she would never date other guys. Feel free to buy her some condoms in case she needs them!!!... you know with the other guys of course... since you are not getting any.

Explain what you mean by dates. I'm seeing a girl now we are not physical but we hang out. She says she has a BF but I've never seen him and she barely mentions him. There are no pics of them on facebook either (Though her status says she's in a relationship). So, is she trying to hide these dates from you? Are things good between you and her? I guess normally most people would say that's not ok (if you can get the hints from the sarcasm of the guys who have responded so far, lol) but I think a lot of times the context of something helps clarify the situation.
For example if you get along with a certain co-worker of the opposite sex (You have a GF) and you take lunch together is it necessarily a bad thing even though some may say it is a date? So, give more details please.
 

"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.

Maybe then again we should ask if the OP is sure the girl is his GF to begin with. I think some people assume that because they've been F'ing a girl for a period of time that she is now his GF. Did they have the talk etc?
