"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.

Hello mature forum.

I've been a lurker and poster here for a few years now. I find myself in an odd situation. I won't go into detail on this post. Basically, i've date this girl for about 2 years. broke up twice. When we broke up recently my gut told me it was the right thing. fast forward 2 months. She calls me...wants me back blah blah blah. now i've read the bible, and have no one-itis. My question is this. she calls after 2 months wanting me back. I tell her that at this point all i want is friends (and she needs a real friend..but that is beside the point) and i don't see us together as a couple. we end up talking for 2 hours and it's probably the best convo we had in a long time. My issue is my gut is silent at this point. before i was sure that it was right to not be with her. but my gut is literally silent. before i get flamed, has anyone else ever found themselves in this situation? Thanks mature dj's.

"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.

That means you are ready to accept what happens with her, no matter what it is. Most likely you don't want back with her ever.

One of my exes (not the one I still want back of course), still calls me.

She wants me back, we dated for 3 years. I do still love her but I don't think it will work out.

It's actually nice though to still be friends with someone you have alot of history with.
